  • Autistic Self-Discovery — A Free Course Built Around 18 Screeners

    Nineteen free modules, one autism screening questionnaire each: what it measures, where it came from, and what your score does and does not mean. Show the full course text Autistic Self-Discovery Nineteen free modules, each one built around a single validated self-discovery screener. You do not have to take them in order, and nothing here asks for an email address. Part One — Start Here Module 1 — How to Read an Autism Screener (and What a Score Can't Tell You) Before the eighteen questionnaires: what a screening score actually measures, the four validity tiers every instrument in this course is labelled with, and why a positive result is a reason to look closer rather than an answer. Open this module Part Two — The Broad Screeners Module 2 — RAADS-14 — A Short Autism Screener for Adults Where the fourteen questions came from, what the three groupings underneath them ask, why the famous 97 per cent sensitivity travels everywhere and the specificity never does, and what a score over the line honestly buys you. Open this module · Take the screener Module 3 — AQ-50 — The Best-Known Autistic Traits Questionnaire Where the fifty questions came from, what the two cut-off scores were built to do, why the five named subscales do not hold up under analysis, and what the AQ's real accuracy figures look like once it leaves the research sample. Open this module · Take the screener Module 4 — GQ-ASC — The Autism Questionnaire Written for Women Why the standard description of autism was drawn from boys, what the GQ-ASC asks instead, where it came from, and an honest account of how much weight a score of 57 can carry. Open this module · Take the screener Part Three — Masking and the Shape of Your Mind Module 5 — CAT-Q — Measuring Autistic Masking and Camouflaging What camouflaging actually is, why it keeps people from being recognised for decades, what the 25 questions can and cannot tell you, and how to read three subscale scores that matter more than the total. Open this module · Take the screener Module 6 — RBQ-2A — Repetitive Behaviour and Stimming, Explained Kindly What the twenty questions actually ask, why stimming is better understood as regulation than as a symptom, how insistence on sameness tracks uncertainty rather than stubbornness, and what this score honestly cannot tell you. Open this module · Take the screener Module 7 — The Monotropism Questionnaire — Autistic Attention and Deep Focus What monotropism claims about autistic attention, how a questionnaire written by autistic people came to exist, why its 47 items collapse into a single averaged score, and an honest account of how little of it has been independently tested. Open this module · Take the screener Module 8 — EDA-QA — Demand Avoidance and PDA Traits Why a task can be effortless when it is your idea and impossible when it is asked, what the twenty-six statements of the EDA-QA actually measure, and an honest account of a construct that sits in neither diagnostic manual. Open this module · Take the screener Part Four — Feeling, Naming, Connecting Module 9 — TAS-20 — Alexithymia, When You Can't Name What You Feel What alexithymia actually is, why the questionnaire's three parts are not equally trustworthy, why roughly half of autistic adults score above the line and half do not, and what a total score of 61 does and does not settle. Open this module · Take the screener Module 10 — OAQ-G2 — A Longer Look at Alexithymia A thirty-seven item questionnaire that asks about alexithymia across seven areas rather than three, what its four extra domains add and confuse, and why a tool with no published validation can still be worth an hour of your thinking. Open this module · Take the screener Module 11 — ASIM-24 — Sex, Intimacy and Sensory Reality A reverse-scored questionnaire about sexual knowledge, sensory comfort, boundaries and communication — what the research on autistic adults and intimacy actually shows, and why our own instrument has no validation behind it. Open this module · Take the screener Part Five — Burnout Module 12 — ABTI-24 — The Traits That Make Autistic Burnout Likely What makes autistic burnout likely rather than whether you are in it: masking, chronic strain, the physical toll, and whether rest is genuinely available — plus an honest account of a questionnaire we built ourselves and never validated. Open this module · Take the screener Module 13 — ABSI-24 — Autistic Burnout, Are You In It Right Now? What autistic burnout is as a present state rather than a standing risk, why it is so often treated as depression and why that gets the advice backwards, and an honest account of what this in-house questionnaire can and cannot tell you. Open this module · Take the screener Module 14 — ABO — Autistic Burnout in Eight Questions Why an eight-item burnout screener exists when a twenty-four item one already does, what the research on very short screens shows about the trade they make, and an honest account of what two minutes can and cannot tell you. Open this module · Take the screener Part Six — Traveling Companions Module 15 — Sensory Profile — Sensory Processing Across Eight Senses The three senses nobody taught you, why one sensitivity dial is the wrong model, how the same nervous system reads differently in different rooms, and an honest account of what a sensory score can and cannot tell you. Open this module · Take the screener Module 16 — HSPI-24 — High Sensitivity, or Autistic Sensory Difference? What sensory-processing sensitivity actually is, how far it overlaps with autistic difference and where the two part company, why the popular twenty per cent figure does not hold, and the one finding in this literature that is genuinely good news. Open this module · Take the screener Module 17 — OCI-R — OCD Symptoms: Checking, Ordering and Intrusive Thoughts What the eighteen questions of the OCI-R actually ask, how an autistic routine and an OCD compulsion can look identical from outside while running on opposite fuel, how often the two conditions travel together, and why this page draws its line at 12 rather than 21. Open this module · Take the screener Module 18 — CPQ — Clinical Perfectionism, When Your Standards Run You The difference between having high standards and being run by them, where the twelve-item Clinical Perfectionism Questionnaire came from, how far its psychometrics can be trusted, and how the whole idea reads differently when the standard you are holding is appearing normal. Open this module · Take the screener Module 19 — FMPS — Six Faces of Perfectionism Why one word covers six different experiences, which two subscales actually carry the risk, why two rival scales share the same initials, and an honest account of what a perfectionism score can and cannot tell an autistic adult. Open this module · Take the screener How this course works Every module follows the same five steps: a lesson explaining what the instrument measures and where it came from, what actually helps, the screener itself, a workbook that saves to your own device, and the research behind it with full citations. Each module names its own limitations. Where an instrument is weak, the module says so. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis. Only a clinician can diagnose. A screening questionnaire widens the door to a conversation; it does not walk through it for you. If what you are looking for is not here Several of the traits covered here turn up alongside both profiles. Each one has a single module, filed in whichever course its population usually belongs to, and linked from both. If you are reading this course and something is missing, it is probably in the other one: the ADHD Self-Discovery course . Who made this New Path Family is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit learning centre. It publishes free, neurodiversity-affirming courses, worksheets and screener guides for autistic and ADHD adults and the people who love them. This course is free, self-paced, and asks for no email address. More about the nonprofit .

  • Self-Identification — A Free Autism and ADHD Course in 12 Modules

    Twelve free modules for adults who recognise themselves in autism or ADHD without a diagnosis: what the label does, and what comes after it. Show the full course outline Self-Identification Twelve free modules for anyone who has recognised themselves in autism or ADHD without a diagnosis. What the word is doing, what the diagnostic criteria actually say, how to read your own history against them, what arrives after the recognition, and how to decide whether you want an in-depth assessment at all. Where to start Twelve modules, and this one is a sequence. The two screener courses next door are a shelf you visit with a question. This one is not. It runs from whether you are allowed to use the word at all through to the Monday afterwards, and each part assumes the one before it. Read it in order. Step one — the two modules of Part One. Module 1 — Am I Allowed to Call Myself This? — Where self-identification came from, what the research actually found about the people who do it, the strongest case against it, and how to hold a description nobody handed you. Module 2 — What a Label Is, and What It Is Not — Four different jobs the same word is doing, and why most arguments about self-identification are two people using different ones. Start at Module 1. It is the one that answers the question most people arrive with, and everything after it rests on the position it sets out. Step two — the evidence, Modules 3 to 5. What the diagnostic criteria actually say, how to read your own history against them, and where a screening questionnaire fits. Module 5 is also the door to the two screener courses. Step three — the rest, as it arrives. Parts Three to Five are what happens after the recognition: grief and anger, telling people, finding your people, finding a therapist, and deciding whether you want an in-depth assessment at all. Part One — Am I allowed? Module 1 — Am I Allowed to Call Myself This? Where self-identification came from, what the research actually found about the people who do it, the strongest case against it, and how to hold a description nobody handed you. Open this module Module 2 — What a Label Is, and What It Is Not Four different jobs the same word is doing, and why most arguments about self-identification are two people using different ones. Open this module Part Two — The evidence Module 3 — The Criteria, in Plain Language What the diagnostic criteria for autism and ADHD actually say, translated, with the parts a questionnaire cannot reach made concrete. Open this module Module 4 — Reading Your Own History A structured re-examination of a life you have already lived and the document an assessor will actually ask you for. Open this module Module 5 — Where Screeners Fit What a screening questionnaire is for, what it cannot be for, and which of the two courses to open next. Open this module Part Three — What arrives Module 6 — Grief For the childhood that had no explanation, the years of trying harder, and the version of you that got blamed. Open this module Module 7 — Anger, and Relief The other two feelings, why they alternate, and why relief so often arrives with guilt attached. Open this module Part Four — Other people Module 8 — Telling People Partner, parents, employer, friends: what disclosure buys and what it costs, audience by audience. Open this module Module 9 — Finding Your People What the community offers, how to walk into it, and what to expect once you are there. Open this module Module 10 — A Therapist Who Gets It How to find one, what neuro-affirming should mean in practice rather than on a profile page, and what a bad fit looks like early. Open this module Part Five — What next Module 11 — Do I Want an In-Depth Assessment? A decision aid, not a recommendation. What an assessment buys, what it costs, when self-identification is enough on its own, and how to get one without anybody selling you anything. Open this module Module 12 — Monday Morning What actually changes after you recognise yourself, what does not, the first three changes worth making, and when to come back. Open this module If what you are looking for is not here This course is about the recognition itself, not about measuring traits. The screening questionnaires live in the two sister courses, each taught with its limits shown: the Autistic Self-Discovery course and the ADHD Self-Discovery course . Module 5 explains what a screener can and cannot settle before you open either of them. Who made this New Path Family, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity that publishes free, plain-language education for autistic and ADHD adults and the people who love them. Everything here is free to read: no account, no sign-up, no payment. The nonprofit does not provide therapy or assessment and is not paid for referrals.

Each module covers one topic in depth — what is happening in your child’s brain, what it looks and feels like, why it happens, and what actually helps. Who this is for: parents and caregivers of autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD kids and teens — roughly ages 2 to 18 — including parents who are neurodivergent themselves. Whether your child has a diagnosis or you just have a quiet sense of it, you belong here. Grandparents, stepparents, and every kind of caregiver are welcome too. What happens inside a module.

  • ADHD Self-Discovery — A Free Course Built Around 9 Screeners

    Ten free modules, one adult ADHD screening questionnaire each: what it measures, where it came from, and what your score does and does not mean. Show the full course text ADHD Self-Discovery Ten free modules, each one built around a single adult ADHD self-discovery screener. You do not have to take them in order, and nothing here asks for an email address. Part One — Start Here Module 1 — How to Read an ADHD Screener (and What a Score Can't Tell You) Before the nine questionnaires: what a screening score actually measures, why sensitivity and specificity pull against each other, what happens to a good screener at real adult ADHD prevalence, and the four validity tiers every instrument here carries. Open this module Part Two — The Broad Screeners Module 2 — ASRS v1.1 — The WHO's Six-Question Adult ADHD Screener How the World Health Organization's adult screener works, why the threshold is different on different questions, what a positive result is genuinely worth, and why the negative result is the more trustworthy one. Open this module · Take the screener Module 3 — SAAST — A Longer, Structured Look at Adult ADHD What twenty-two questions reach that six cannot, why length is not the same thing as accuracy, the requirements a total score can never satisfy, and why four of the questions on this screener are deliberately not scored at all. Open this module · Take the screener Module 4 — Copeland — ADHD Symptoms Across Eight Areas of Life An instrument that produces no total score at all, only the percentage of symptoms endorsed in each of eight areas of living — why that answers a different question, why its language is dated, and what it has never been tested for. Open this module · Take the screener Part Three — How ADHD Actually Shows Up Module 5 — AAMM — ADHD Masking and Compensation Why camouflaging was mapped in autistic research first, what the ADHD evidence actually shows now that it exists, the seven kinds of effort this questionnaire names, and an honest account of an instrument nobody has validated. Open this module · Take the screener Module 6 — BIS-11 — Impulsiveness, Measured Three Ways What the thirty questions of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale actually ask, how six subscales fold into three families, why three of those six read backwards, where the cut-off of 72 came from, and what a high score does not tell you. Open this module · Take the screener Module 7 — ADHD-SIM-24 — Sex, Desire and Attention with ADHD How attention, emotional regulation and tolerance of delay shape intimate life with ADHD, what the evidence on desire, risk and medication actually shows, and why this particular screener runs backwards and has never been validated. Open this module · Take the screener Part Four — Traveling Companions Module 8 — RSD-24 — Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and How It Lands Why the phrase rejection sensitive dysphoria gave so many adults their first accurate description of something real, what the research actually supports underneath it, and what a questionnaire with no published validation can and cannot tell you. Open this module · Take the screener Module 9 — The Dyslexia Questionnaire — Dyslexia in Reading, Spelling and Speed What dyslexia actually is and is not, why it travels with ADHD so often, why adults who read accurately can still be dyslexic, and an honest account of what thirteen self-report questions can and cannot tell you. Open this module · Take the screener Module 10 — CAS — Clinical Anger You Can Actually Look At What the Clinical Anger Scale asks about, why its format and its cut-offs were borrowed from a depression inventory, how emotional dysregulation sits at the centre of adult ADHD, and the honest list of everything else that raises an anger score. Open this module · Take the screener How this course works Every module follows the same five steps: a lesson explaining what the instrument measures and where it came from, what actually helps, the screener itself, a workbook that saves to your own device, and the research behind it with full citations. Each module names its own limitations. Where an instrument is weak, the module says so. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis. Only a clinician can diagnose. A screening questionnaire widens the door to a conversation; it does not walk through it for you. If what you are looking for is not here Several of the traits covered here turn up alongside both profiles. Each one has a single module, filed in whichever course its population usually belongs to, and linked from both. If you are reading this course and something is missing, it is probably in the other one: the Autistic Self-Discovery course . Who made this New Path Family is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit learning centre. It publishes free, neurodiversity-affirming courses, worksheets and screener guides for autistic and ADHD adults and the people who love them. This course is free, self-paced, and asks for no email address. More about the nonprofit .

  • About New Path Family — A 501(c)(3) Neurodiversity Nonprofit

    New Path Family is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit publishing free courses, worksheets and advocacy for autistic and ADHD adults. No sign-up, no fee. Here is who we are. Show the full page text About New Path Family New Path Family exists so that every neurodivergent person — and everyone who loves them — has somewhere to go for real help, at no cost. We heal. We teach. We care — person to person. Why we exist Some of the most valuable work in this field does not have a customer. Explaining rejection sensitivity to a parent at 2 a.m. Building a screener that helps a forty-five-year-old woman finally have a word for her whole life. Speaking up about how autistic adults are treated. None of that generates revenue, and a business that only does what generates revenue would never do it. So it lives here, in a nonprofit, where it does not have to justify itself commercially. Our mission is to provide advocacy and mental health resources for the neurodivergent community. What we publish All of it free, to anyone, anywhere. The Learning Center Five complete self-paced programs on autism, ADHD, communication and relationships. No sign-up. No email required. Start anywhere. Worksheets and tools Hundreds of printable, practical resources you can use on your own or bring to any therapist, including one who has nothing to do with us. Advocacy Autistic and ADHD adults speaking publicly about what it is actually like, so fewer people spend thirty years being misunderstood. Nothing here is behind a paywall, a login, or a “book a call to learn more.” Who we are New Path Family is the public name of New Path Couples Therapy, Inc., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity. EIN 87-0816107. California Registry of Charities No. CT0277447. We are a publisher, not a provider. This organization does not offer therapy, does not employ clinicians, does not take clients, and does not bill anyone for anything. The people who lead this organization serve it without compensation. Our therapy partner We are proud to be affiliated with New Path Family of Therapy Centers, Inc. , which provides licensed psychotherapy, assessment and coaching. It is a separate California professional corporation under common leadership with this nonprofit, and it is a paid service. This nonprofit receives no part of what you pay them. You will find them under names like Neurodiverse Couples Counseling Center, Adult Autism Assessment Center, She Rocks the Spectrum, Therapy 4 Autistic Men, Parenting Autism Therapy Center and Believing Cassandra. Those are all doors into the same practice. They publish a set of free self-assessment screeners on those sites, and they hold a limited number of reduced-fee spots for people who cannot afford their standard fee. Is the free material really free? Yes. No sign-up, no fee, nothing to buy. It was built by people who care about this work, and we are simply glad when someone uses it. There is never any obligation to become anyone’s client. If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter you will hear from us, and you can unsubscribe at any time — that is the only follow-up there is, and it only happens if you ask for it. Can I get therapy from the nonprofit? No. This organization does not provide therapy. If you want professional care, ask the affiliated practice directly and they will tell you honestly what they have available. In crisis? We are not a crisis service. If you or someone you love is in danger right now, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), text HOME to 741741, or call 911. Get in touch New Path Couples Therapy, Inc. · 3880 S.

Last updated September 26, 2026 Privacy Policy Who we are This website is operated by New Path Couples Therapy, Inc., publicly known as New Path Family — a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity. EIN 87-0816107. 3880 S. Bascom Ave., Suite 216, San Jose, CA 95124 · info@newpathfamily.com We are a publisher of free educational material. We do not provide therapy, we do not employ clinicians, and we do not keep medical records. What we collect We collect very little, and only what we need. If you subscribe to our newsletter: your email address, and your name if you give it. If you use our contact form : everything you enter. That may include what you are looking for help with, where you live, and how to reach you, and some of it may relate to your health. The form also records how you found us — the page you were on, and whether you arrived from one of our ads or a link — so we know which resources lead people to get in touch. What you send is stored by our sister organization — see The contact form and our sister organization, below. If you make a donation: your name, email and billing details, handled by our payment processor. We never see or store your full card number. Automatically, when you visit: the pages you look at, roughly where in the world you are (to about the nearest city, worked out from your internet address), what kind of device and browser you use, and which site or ad brought you here. Because this site is about neurodivergence, the pages someone reads can say something about their interests. We only ever look at this as totals — how many people read each page — never person by person. None of it tells us your name. Cookies and similar technology Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This site uses three kinds. Essential cookies from the platform the site runs on. They keep the site working and secure. Analytics cookies from Google Analytics. They let us count visits properly, so three pages read in one visit count as one visit, and someone coming back counts as a returning visitor, not a new one. Ad measurement cookies from Google Ads. They only matter if you arrive by clicking one of our ads. They let Google tell us whether the ad led somewhere useful, for example someone starting a screener, going on to the next module of a course, or clicking to contact us. Google reports this to us as totals. It does not tell us who you are, and we never send Google anything you type into a form. We do not show a cookie banner. If you would rather not have analytics or ad measurement cookies, you can: Block or clear cookies in your browser’s settings. The site still works without them. Install Google’s opt-out for Google Analytics: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout . Manage how Google uses information for ads at myadcenter.google.com . What we do with it Send you the newsletter, if you asked for it. Answer you when you contact us. Understand which free resources people use, so we can make better ones. Check that the free advertising we receive through Google’s nonprofit Ad Grants program brings people to resources that help them, so the grant is well spent. Meet our legal and reporting obligations as a charity. That is the whole list. Who else sees it We use a small number of outside companies to run this website. They fall into these categories: Website hosting and email — the platform this site runs on and the systems we use to write to you. Analytics and ad measurement — Google Analytics and Google Ads, both run by Google LLC. Contact and enquiry records — our contact form, and the records system that stores what you send, are run for us by our sister organization (see below). Payment processing — for donations, once donations are live. Our hosting, email and payment providers handle your information on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. Google is the one to know about: it handles analytics and ad measurement data under its own terms as well as ours. Google explains how at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites . We change providers from time to time. If you want to know exactly which companies we use today, email us and we will tell you. The contact form and our sister organization Our contact form is run for us by New Path Family of Therapy Centers, Inc. , a separate California professional corporation under common leadership with this nonprofit. Its services are paid. Everything you send through the form is stored in its records system, whether or not you are asking for care. If you tell us you are looking for therapy, an assessment or coaching, someone there will use what you sent to respond to you. We say so on the form before you continue. This nonprofit receives no payment for referrals. Once you are in touch with them about care, your information is handled under their privacy terms, not ours. They will use it to respond to you and, if you go on to become a client, to open a clinical record. Ask them directly if you want the detail. If you never use the contact form, nothing you tell us reaches them. The form itself loads from their website, so when you open our contact page their server sees the ordinary technical details any website sees, such as your internet address. We do not pass your information to anyone else, for any reason, other than where the law requires it. Screeners and links to our sister organization Many of the screeners in our courses open on websites run by New Path Family of Therapy Centers, Inc., such as adult-autism-assessment.com. When you follow one of those links you leave this site. What you enter there is covered by that site’s privacy policy, not this one. On our side, we record only that the link was clicked. What we never do We never sell your information, and we never rent or trade it. We do not advertise to you based on anything you tell us about your health. We do not use “retargeting”: we never ask Google to show you our ads elsewhere because you visited this site. We never send Google, or any advertiser, anything you type into a form on this site. We do not require an account, a login or an email address to use anything we publish. How long we keep it We do not delete on a fixed schedule, so rather than give you a number that would not be true, here is how we decide. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact form submissions are kept in our sister organization’s records system for as long as they might still be useful to the person who sent them — if you write to us again, we would rather know what you already told us than make you repeat it. Google Analytics keeps visit-level detail for two months, and anything linked to a returning browser for up to 14 months. After that, only totals remain. You can ask us to delete your information at any time and we will, unless we are required to keep it by law. Your choices Unsubscribe from any newsletter using the link at the bottom of it. Ask what we hold about you, and we will tell you. Ask us to delete it, and we will. Block or clear cookies in your browser, or use Google’s opt-outs listed under Cookies and similar technology. Most of the site works fine without cookies. Email info@newpathfamily.com for any of these. California residents have specific rights under state privacy law, and we will honor them regardless of whether we are technically required to. Children Our resources are written for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us information, email us and we will delete it. This is not a medical record This organization is not a healthcare provider and is not a HIPAA covered entity. Reading or using anything on this site does not create a medical record. If you become a client of New Path Family of Therapy Centers, that is a separate relationship with its own privacy terms, and your clinical records are kept by them, not by us. Security We use reputable providers and take reasonable steps to protect your information. No website can promise perfect security, and we will not pretend otherwise. Please do not send us anything highly sensitive through a web form. Changes to this privacy policy If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. Material changes will be noted on this page. September 2026: we stopped showing a cookie banner, added the section on cookies and the names of the analytics and ad measurement tools we use, and explained that our contact form is run by our sister organization.
