Autism Spectrum Quotient-10 (AQ-10)

The Autism Spectrum Quotient-10 (AQ-10) is a brief screening tool designed to quickly assess traits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in adolescents and adults. It is a shortened version of the original 50-item Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) developed by Simon Baron-Cohen and colleagues.

Purpose

  • The AQ-10 is not a diagnostic test, but a screening questionnaire to indicate whether someone may benefit from a full autism assessment.

  • It helps clinicians identify individuals who might have significant autistic traits.
