One of the most common autism tests used to diagnose people with autism is the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ). At the Cambridge Autism Research Institute in England, Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues created the AQ, a self-report questionnaire.
The 50-item AQ examines many facets of social and communication skills, as well as behavioral tendencies and interests. Answers range from "certainly agree" to "absolutely disagree" when people are asked to rate how strongly they agree or disagree with each statement.
The AQ has been verified, and it can detect autistic people with high sensitivity and specificity. It is frequently used in clinical and research settings to help with autism diagnosis and to screen people who could be at risk for the condition.
It's crucial to remember that while the AQ can be a helpful tool in identifying people who could have autism, it cannot take the place of a thorough evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider.
