Start the testWhat is autism in adults?
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a different form of brain functioning that affects communication and social relationships, and is accompanied by intense interests, preference for routine, and differences in the way sensory stimuli are processed. It's not a disease, it's a neurodivergence that accompanies a person throughout life.
Many adults, especially women, were never diagnosed in childhood because they learned to camouflage their difficulties. Being diagnosed as an adult usually brings relief and helps you to understand your own history, social fatigue or accumulated anxiety.
Common signs of autism in adults
The most common are difficulty understanding implicit social norms, exhaustion after socializing, a tendency to take things literally, a need for routine and anticipation of change, intense interests, and sensitivity to noise, light, or texture.
Social camouflage is also common - imitating others, preparing for conversations, or forcing eye contact to fit in. Maintaining it for years can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, or depression.

What does the adult autism test measure?
This test brings together 12 phrases, developed by our team, about social communication, camouflage, sensory sensitivity, routines and interests. Score from 0 to 36: the higher the score, the more traits compatible with the autism spectrum.
It is a guidance tool: it does not replace the assessment of a professional nor is it a diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions about adult autism testing
How long does it take to test for autism in adults?
Very little: 12 questions, answered in 2-3 minutes. When you're done, you'll see your result on the screen and, if you want, we'll send it to your email.
Is the adult autism test reliable?
It's an orientation questionnaire that our team developed based on the traits that are assessed in adult autism. It's not a validated tool or a diagnosis: the diagnosis of autism requires a comprehensive evaluation with interviews, tests, and information about your development.
Can autism be diagnosed in adulthood?
More and more adults are being diagnosed after their 20s, 30s, 40s. A specialist assessment reviews your developmental history, your communication and relationship skills and your sensory characteristics.
Why are women diagnosed later?
Because they often better camouflage their social difficulties and their interests often seem more "common". This makes autism go unnoticed and mistaken for shyness, anxiety or depression.
How much is an autism evaluation at the Vivaldi Clinic?
The adult autism assessment costs €400 and includes a written report and feedback session. Some tests require a face-to-face session in Valencia.
Can autism and ADHD occur at the same time?
Yes, they often coexist. That's why sometimes an evaluation that values both neurodivergences is useful.
