 The autism spectrum quotient, AQ10, is a self-report questionnaire used in clinical and research settings to assess autistic traits in adults. It has been shown to be useful in identifying individuals with autism spectrum disorder, ASD. However, recent studies suggest that the AQ10 may not be reliable or valid when used in non-clinical populations. This study suggests that the AQ10 should not be used as a measure of trait autism in future research. This article was authored by Emily C. Taylor, Lucy A. Livingstone, Rachel A.
