This is for autism While there isn't am actual diagnosis test online, this is the one commonly used by psychologist as a prescreenimg tool in the diagnosising process https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/ https://embrace-autism.com/autism-tests/ This site lists a bunch of them as autism can present differently in different people. It can be a very expensive (thousands of dollars) process to get officially diagnosed, this is why self diagnosis is pretty well acceptable in the community
