Adult Repetitive Behaviours Questionnaire-2 (RBQ 2A)

We’d love to hear from you! Please reach out to us using the contact form.

Taking time to reflect on yourself can feel like a big step! We are really glad you are here and willing to explore.

Who is this screener for?This screener, called the RBQ-2A, is one of several tools used to explore traits related to autism and OCD. It can help adults reflect on whether additional support or treatment may be helpful, and guide decisions about next steps such as seeking an evaluation or diagnosis. The RBQ-2A focuses on repetitive and restrictive patterns of behavior.

Remember, this screener is not meant to define you or tell your whole story. It is simply a starting point to help you learn more about yourself.

How to complete the screener:Read each question at your own pace and choose the answer that feels most true for you. There are 20 multiple choice questions. When you finish, click “Get Your Results!” to learn more.
