About the AQ-50
The Autism Spectrum Quotient was published in 2001 by Simon Baron-Cohen and colleagues at the Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge. It measures how many traits associated with autism an adult recognises in themselves.
It covers five areas: social skills, attention switching, attention to detail, communication and imagination. Scores range from 0 to 50, and 32 or above suggests many autistic traits.
It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Only a qualified professional can diagnose autism.
