Autism Quotient

The Autism Quotient (AQ) is a self-assessment tool designed to measure the presence of autism spectrum traits in individuals. Developed by researchers, it consists of a series of questions that evaluate areas such as social skills, communication, and repetitive behaviors. The AQ score indicates the likelihood of autism-related characteristics, helping to identify individuals who may benefit from further evaluation. It is not a diagnostic tool but serves as a useful screening instrument for both adults and children, contributing to a better understanding of autism spectrum conditions in a broader context.
