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.

    Reading what you have said in this reply echoes my thoughts on how do I know if I stim? I know that I shush my finger and kiss my knuckle 3 times when I score a goal on my Fifa game or when I watch my football team on tv score but I doubt if that is stimming. I do it because it feels good.

    I guess only someone observing me would know if I I'm stimming. My wife says I make annoying noises when I get excited there again I don't know if this is stimming as I haven't been assessed as of yet.
