Online version of the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), a widely used self-report measure developed by the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge to assess the extent of autistic traits in adults. The AQ captures individual differences across domains such as social skills, communication, attention to detail, imagination, and attention switching, and is commonly used in both research and screening contexts.
Also available are the shortened version AQ-10 and developmental adaptations for children and adolescents (AQ-Child, AQ-Adolescent), which are completed by parents.
