Autism screening

This short questionnaire is a quick referral guide for adults with suspected autism who do not have a learning disability.

This test is recommended in ‘Autism: recognition, referral, diagnosis and management of adults on the autism spectrum’ (NICE clinical guideline CG142): (www.nice.org.uk/CG142). Below you will find a series of questions and multiple choice answers that form part of our version of the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) test.

Please note that the questionnaire below should not be used a diagnostic tool.
