Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale – Revised (RAADS-R)

Normative and Psychometric Statistics
STRONG N=178 α=0.911 22Countries

Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale – Revised (RAADS-R) normative dataset currently contains 178 participant records collected between Jun 6, 2026 and Jul 9, 2026 .

This psychometric dataset currently includes 178 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 44.56 with a standard deviation of 15.34, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0.911). Observed skewness (0.35) and kurtosis (-0.31) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The score distribution appeared reasonably balanced and did not suggest substantial departures from normality.

Normative Data Notice

A total of 178 participant responses were available for this assessment. Dimension-level norms were calculated using 178 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.
