This quiz is just a "screening tool." It does not diagnose.

Sure, NTs can have autistic traits and score high on this quiz, since it tests for traits in adults with normal intelligence. What if you are a quirky gifted person with social anxiety. You would probably score high on this, due to your preference to avoid social situations and your interests.

There is a lot more to AS than the traits in this quiz. It is a cognitive style that makes navigating the world hard. It is evident in early life in behavior, development, and thinking.

So many people self diagnose based on this quiz. It is absurd. Why would anyone want to have AS? It is a tough and lonely existence that persists throughout life.

The AQ score seems to be used in the online autism world as a badge. Come on!
