Understanding the autism spectrum

The AQ-10 (Autism Spectrum Quotient-10) was developed by Simon Baron-Cohen at Cambridge University. It's the most widely used brief screening tool for autistic traits in adults.

AQ-10 scoring (Allison et al. 2012)

  • Score ≤20: Low autistic traits — neurotypical range
  • Score 21-30: Some traits — may or may not be on the spectrum
  • Score 31-40: Elevated — clinical assessment recommended
  • Score 41+: High — strong indicators of autism spectrum
  • Clinical cutoff on original AQ-10: 6+/10 (mapped to ~30/50 here)

Autism facts

  • 1 in 36 children diagnosed (CDC 2023), prevalence is rising due to better detection
  • Many adults — especially women and AFAB individuals — go undiagnosed until their 30s-40s
  • Autism is 80% heritable — the most genetic of all neurodevelopmental conditions
  • "Masking" (camouflaging autistic traits) leads to burnout, anxiety and late diagnosis
  • Autism is a spectrum — not a linear scale from "mild" to "severe"

Note: This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. If you score high, consider consulting a professional.
