Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) - AQ10 (Adults only)

A quick referral guide for adults with suspected autism who do not have a learning disability.

The 10 questions below may be useful to understand if you are experiencing some of the common behaviours and thoughts associated with being on the Autistic Spectrum. The questions are based on an evidence-based screening tool – the Autism Spectrum Quotient. However, scores are indicative only and do not form a diagnosis.
