Take The AQ Test www.aaronwall.com/archives/000271.htmlPsychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives. |

I just tried and it came right up. I had that problem once and finally got it to come up by pasting it in my search engine. I'll go and see if I can find a way to get you onto the site if that doesn't work

www.aaronwall.com On the right hand side is a list of archives. You can click on April 2004 and then scroll down to April 7. Its the 2nd or 3rd article in the list. I can't vouch for anything else on the site. I think its more of a blog than an autism site. Saw your answer after I posted so I figured I should say I'm glad you made it in. If anyone else has problems, they can try this other way.

I'm sure it said that a person scored as autistic with at least a 32 so its very possible. It seems likely that having mild aspergers would put her in that range.
There are other factors that are considered before they diagnose someone as autistic even with those scores.

You're daughter must be very mild Aspergers? It says 32 or above MAY have Aspergers & many report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives.

OK, I'm not getting it either. When I clicked on the site posted it said something about drywall, nothing on the right. Tried typing in WWW.Arronwall.com - nothing. What am I doing wrong? I wanted to look at this test and compare it to the test we use in our school district. |
