This ten-point scale, known as the 'AQ-10', is an internationally used technique, whereby individuals agree or disagree with statements such as 'I find it difficult to work out people's intentions'. The maximum score is ten, and higher scores represent more autistic traits.

This study found that the total AQ score and its five subscale scores are normally distributed and have demonstrated good test-retest reliability, good internal consistency [5], and that the measure has acceptably high sensitivity and specificity: at a cut-off score of 26, 83% of patients were correctly identified ( ...

The total scores range from 15 to 60, and the cut-off score to determine autism is 30. More specifically, a score of <30 is classified as non-autism, a score of 30–36 is classified as mild to moderate autism, and a score of ≥37 is classified as severe autism.

Higher scores indicate responses that are more consistent with autism traits. A total score of 29 or more is indicative of clinically significant autism traits (Broadbent, et al., 2013).

The AQ-10 doesn't offer a lot of insight, as it outputs just a single score. ing to the test, scores of 6 or higher are indicative of autism or a significant number of autistic traits. No single test is conclusive, and the AQ-10 is not at all comprehensive. But higher scores may warrant further investigation.

Items are scored dichotomously (i.e. collapsing 'definitely agree' and 'slightly agree' into 'agree' and similarly for 'disagree'), with one point being assigned for each response characteristic of ASD. Total AQ50 scores therefore range from 0 to 50, with higher scores indicating more autistic traits.

Total scores can range from a low of 15 to a high of 60; scores below 30 indicate that the individual is in the non-autistic range, scores between 30 and 36.5 indicate mild to moderate autism, and scores from 37 to 60 indicate severe autism (Schopler et al.

The most common assessments for ASD include: Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule - Second Edition (ADOS-2) ... Autism Diagnosis Interview-Revised (ADI-R) ... Childhood Autism Rating Scale, Second Edition (CARS-2)
