Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) Test
The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) is a self-report screening tool designed to measure autistic traits in adults. It looks at patterns related to social interaction, communication, attention to detail, imagination, and flexiblity.
The AQ can be useful for self-reflection and identifying traits that may warrant further exploration. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis, and results are best understood alongside your broader experiences.
Understanding Your AQ ScoreHigher AQ scores may reflect a greater number of autistic traits, but a score alone cannot determine whether someone is autistic. Masking, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and other factors can influence how someone responds.
