Commander Autism Screening Test (CAuST)

Ten quick questions about social, sensory, and routine preferences. A starting point, not a diagnosis.

Recognizing signs of autism can be a powerful first step toward self-⁠understanding, support, and growth. Many people go through life feeling different, misunderstood, or overwhelmed in social situations, and only later discover these experiences were related to being on the autism spectrum.

If you've wondered whether autism might explain patterns in your thinking, behavior, or relationships, testing can bring clarity and open the door to accommodations, effective strategies, and peace of mind. This screener can help you decide whether a full evaluation is right for you.

Private by design: your answers stay in this browser window. Nothing is sent to us or saved. This screener is not a diagnosis or a substitute for an evaluation.

Instructions. Answer each question as honestly and accurately as you can. There are no right or wrong answers. Choose the response that best reflects how often or how strongly each statement applies to you in daily life.
