Your Screening Result

The score you obtained ( / 10).

It's important to note that the AQ-10 is not a diagnostic tool, and a high score on the questionnaire does not necessarily mean someone has ASD. Likewise, a low score does not rule out the possibility of ASD. A formal diagnosis should be made by a qualified healthcare professional such as a clinical psychologist based on comprehensive assessment including objective tools (eg. GARS-3).
