ACE (Autism Quotient)

The Autism Quotient (AQ) is a questionnaire designed to measure how many traits associated with autism a person has. It helps identify tendencies related to social interaction, communication, imagination, attention to detail, and flexibility. The AQ is not a diagnostic tool but provides insight into where someone might fall on the autism spectrum. Higher scores suggest more traits linked to autism, while lower scores indicate fewer. It’s commonly used in research and for self-awareness, facilitating better understanding of autistic traits in both clinical and general populations.
