Researchers led by psychologist Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen at Cambridge University's Autism Research Centre created the Autism Quotient or AQ, in an effort to measure the extent of autistic or Asperger's syndrome traits in adults. This is a shortened 10-question form of the original questionnaire. You can find the original, full-form questionnaire here.

Note that the scores of this screening test are not diagnostic and do not diagnose the presence of autism by themselves. We hope you discuss your score with your doctor or health professional.
