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.

    Hi Starbuck

    This is mine from months ago. I’m undiagnosed btw.

    Hi lovely and sorry to hear that your work life is causing so many issues at the moment.

    Still seeking a diagnosis and still trying to save pennies to pay privately - I don't think I could stand the prospect of waiting years in the queue when I feel that so much time has been wasted already. Disappointed  But, here I am, drifting along on the forum puzzling life out in my own Aspie existential way!

    Hi Ellie

    Good to hear from you and I hope you are well. 

    I have been off the forums for a while and I know you were considering a diagnosis at one point. Are you still looking to pursue one?

    I don't think it matters either way unless you need it to help with support and that can be limited at best.
