WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Female Autism Test - Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ-10) - Symptoms and Signs

autism

This brief self-report screener is used to identify whether an adult may show traits associated with autism spectrum conditions. The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ-10) provides a rapid, structured set of prompts to support initial clinical decision-making and determine whether a more comprehensive assessment may be indicated.

It consists of 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items sample common domains of autistic traits (e.g., social interaction preferences, attention to detail, and behavioral rigidity), yielding a total score that can be interpreted as an index of symptom burden rather than a diagnosis. The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ-10) was developed by Sally Wheelwright and Simon Baron-Cohen and is commonly used in clinical and research contexts as an initial screening measure.
