The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ)

is a self-administered questionnaire used to measure autistic traits in adults (age 16+). An IQ of at least low average (IQ >=80) is required to take the test adequately.




"What does my score mean?

The AQ doesn’t really offer much insight into specific autistic traits, as it only outputs a single score. Any scores of 26 or greater indicate the presence of autistic traits; the higher the score, the more autistic traits you have.

Furthermore, 79.3% of autistic people score 32 or higher (whereas only 2% of controls do), so scores of 32 and above are particularly significant. "
