"The same sound, color or texture can suddenly change from very sensitive to very dull."
What do these words even mean? What is a very sensitive sound? A sound which I feel acutely? A sound which is appropriate to the needs of another? A sound which evidences a precise change? What is a dull sound? A bell made of lead? A thud? A quiet sound? A boring sound? An unintelligent sound? How are any of these parings in opposition to each other? How can they preserve any such meaning across all of sounds, colours and textures?
Never seen this test before, but it is infuriating. All the options seem to be "True" or "Never" as well.
@chiffchaff I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that the point of RAADS-R is that you do it in the presence of a clinician and the real test is how you respond to the questions, not what your answers are.

Except ASRS does it too and you’re supposed to do that by yourself.

Believe it or not it’s actually considered a best practice autism diagnostic tool.
