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.

  • Hello all,

    I need to spend time with this thread- will catch it tomorrow, but I've seen comments already that it's difficult to answer some of the questions. I got my AQ test paper in the post from my GP today and some of the questions are difficult to gauge too. For example with memory. I had a great memory 20-30 years ago and could reel of phone numbers and all sorts of stuff but my memory isn't anywhere near as good now. Hmmm! I'm stuck.
