Autism Spectrum Quotient
Autism Self-Assessment Information
Before you begin the following self-assessment questionnaire, we would like you to have a basic understanding of autism.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior patterns. Its main characteristics include:
-
Social difficulties: Struggling to understand or maintain social relationships, lacking eye contact, or misinterpreting social cues.
-
Differences in communication: Delayed language development, echolalia (repeating phrases), or unique ways of expressing thoughts.
-
Restricted and highly focused interests: Having intense interest in specific topics or activities and spending extended time on them.
-
Repetitive behaviors: Preferring structured routines, repeating certain actions (e.g., rocking, hand-flapping), or insisting on following a specific order of activities.
-
Unusual sensory responses: Being overly sensitive or less responsive to sensory stimuli such as sounds, lights, textures, or tastes.
If you or someone you know exhibits similar traits in daily life, it is recommended to seek professional help. A mental health specialist or doctor can provide an appropriate assessment and support to better understand and manage the condition.
Important Note: The following self-assessment questionnaire is for reference only and should not replace a professional diagnosis. If you have any concerns about the results or need further assistance, please consult a professional doctor or mental health expert.

9 - 18 Points: No Significant Autism Traits
Your score indicates no significant autism-related traits in social interaction, communication, or behavior patterns, or only mild manifestations. These may be normal variations in daily life and should not affect your learning, work, or social abilities.
19 - 27 Points: Mild Autism Traits Possible
Your score suggests that you may exhibit mild autism traits in certain situations, such as difficulties with social interactions, resistance to change, or repetitive behaviors. However, these issues may not significantly impact your daily life. It is advisable to be aware of these traits and seek support or strategies to cope when necessary.
28 - 36 Points: Moderate Autism Traits Possible
Your score indicates more pronounced autism-related traits that may affect your learning, work, or social abilities. You might experience difficulties in social interactions, communication, or adapting to changes. It is recommended to communicate with family, friends, or colleagues to develop strategies to address these challenges, such as establishing structured schedules or seeking professional support.
37 - 45 Points: High Likelihood of Autism Traits
Your score suggests a significant presence of autism traits that may severely impact your daily life, academic pursuits, or career development. You may experience persistent difficulties in social interactions, communication, and behavior patterns. It is strongly recommended to seek professional assistance, such as psychological counseling or behavioral therapy, to obtain personalized support and guidance.
