Online Test

NAS75723

I know we will likely require a referral from a GP (is it?) to get properly assessed. In the meantime can I ask what is the best Male, adult autistic online (Free) test to take - can also use it when approaching GP so something reputable if possible. 

Thanks

    All tests are male-biased. The AQ50 and AQ10 are the tests most generally used in the UK. The numbers refer to the number of questions in the test, so the AQ10 is an abbreviated version of the AQ50. The test was developed by Baron-Cohen (not Sacha) so has some academic kudos. A version of the AQ50 can be found here: Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) (psychology-tools.com)

    If you go down the private diagnosis route (cost approx. £1,000) no GP involvement is needed. Also it is much, much quicker.
