It is a 50 item measure, while the AQ-10 is a ten item condensed version. Background: The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) was developed due to a need for brief self-administered instruments to determine an individual's position on the autism-normality continuum. Psychometrics: Psychometrics are discussed in Baron-Cohen, Wheelwright, Skinner, Martin and Clubley (2001). Web link to tool: https://www.autismresearchcentre.com/arc_tests/ SCORING: Only 1 point can be scored for each question. Score 1 point for Definitely or Slightly Agree on each of items 1, 7, 8, and 10. Score 1 point for Definitely or Slightly Disagree on each of items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9. If the individual scores 6 or above, consider referring them for a specialist diagnostic assessment. Digital Object Identifier (DOI): http://dx.doi.org/10.13072/midss.174
