Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ-10)
The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ-10) is the short form of the full 50-item AQ. It was developed by the Autism Research Center of the University of Cambridge (UK) with the aim to investigate whether adults of average intelligence have symptoms of autism spectrum conditions.
The instrument is not intended to diagnose autism.
Lifelines implemented the AQ-10 in the context of an additional questionnaire, AUTQ.
