What is the accuracy of the AQ test?

roper

As we have been exploring and understanding my sons position of being on the autistic spectrum it has also been suggested I am too, friends and family.  I have done the AQ test several times, over a period of a few months. On my own and with my wife. My average score suggests there is a likelihood that I am on the spectrum. Over 32 under 50.

How accurate is this test and it’s findings?

There are quite a few characteristics I have which also seem to connect with autism , other than the test but I am just trying to piece together the pieces at this stage.

Thanks  for any advice on the test.

    What a great thread which has turned into a top trumps, but I am not complaining.  This quiz is what spurred me on to seek a diagnosis after struggling all my life.

    Neurodiverse score -122/200

    Neurotypical score - 69/200

    You are very likely neurodiverse

    I would recommend it to anyone who suspects they might be on the spectrum or just want to rule it out.  It's a good starting point if nothing else.
