WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) Test

autism

This screening measure is used to identify behavioral and social features that may be associated with autism spectrum conditions in school-age youth. The Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) is typically completed by a parent or teacher to support early recognition of concerns and to inform decisions about whether further evaluation is indicated.

The instrument contains 27 items and generally takes about 5 minutes to complete. It is intended for use with children and adolescents and is most appropriate when cognitive abilities are within the typical range or when delays are mild; it is not designed to replace comprehensive diagnostic assessment. A brief reference source is psytests.org (2024). In clinical, educational, or multidisciplinary settings, the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) can help guide triage, referral planning, and discussion of next-step assessment needs.
