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?

It means that you're on the spectrum...many are.

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. "
