Adult ASD Test
A professional autism spectrum screening based on the AQ scale
Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental difference that often appears in social communication, behavior patterns, and sensory processing. Each person’s ASD traits are unique, which is why it is described as a "spectrum."
Many adults may not have had their ASD traits recognized in childhood. With a structured assessment tool, it becomes easier to understand your own cognitive and behavioral patterns and find support that fits better.
Purpose and Theoretical Basis
This test is based on the Autism Quotient (AQ), developed by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen and his team at the Autism Research Centre of the University of Cambridge. The AQ is one of the most widely used adult autism trait screening tools internationally.
The assessment looks at five core dimensions to better understand autism-related traits:
Social Skills Interpersonal interaction ability
Attention Switching Flexibility and adaptability
Attention to Detail Sensitivity to detail
Communication Verbal and non-verbal interaction
Imagination Creative thinking patterns
Question Set and Answering Guide
This test contains 50 carefully designed questions. Each one has been scientifically validated to help assess autism spectrum traits. Estimated completion time is 15-20 minutes.
Answer based on your real feelings and behavior patterns, without overthinking.
Choose the option that best matches most situations in your daily life.
If a question feels unclear, choose the option that feels closest to your experience.
You can pause at any time during the test, and your progress will be saved automatically.
