Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale – Revised (RAADS-R)
normative dataset currently contains
255
participant records collected between
Jun 6, 2026
and
Aug 1, 2026
.
This psychometric dataset currently includes 255 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 43.6 with a standard deviation of 17.33, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0.923). Observed skewness (0.44) and kurtosis (-0.09) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The score distribution appeared reasonably balanced and did not suggest substantial departures from normality.
Note.
The current Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale – Revised (RAADS-R) dataset contains 255 participant records collected from 29 countries. Dataset maturity reflects sample size, geographic diversity, and internal consistency reliability.

valid response records.
Approximately
0
response record(s) were excluded from dimension-level normative calculations due to incomplete response patterns.
Limitations
Normative statistics are derived from voluntary participation and may not represent all populations. Reliability estimates, percentile norms, and dimension statistics should be interpreted in the context of the current sample and may change as additional responses are collected.
