Asperger Syndrome Test (Autism Score AQ) Asperger's Syndrome is a general developmental disorder characterized by severe difficulties in social interaction and a limited, stereotyped, repetitive repertoire of interests and activities. At the same time, speech and cognitive abilities are generally preserved. The syndrome is also often characterized by marked clumsiness.

The syndrome is named after the Austrian psychiatrist and pediatrician Hans Asperger, who in 1944 described children with a lack of non-verbal communication skills, limited empathy for peers, and physical awkwardness.

Until 1981, the term "autistic psychopathy" was used for Asperger's syndrome. People with this syndrome are often characterized by intact intelligence, moreover, their intellectual development is often above average, especially in childhood. Even the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, billionaire Elon Musk, announced in 2021 that he had Asperger's Syndrome. By this, he explained the fact that he sometimes publishes "weird things" in his tweets. “But that’s just how my brain works,” Musk explained and apologized to those whom he might have offended with his remarks.

The Asperger Syndrome test provided on our website is based on the well-known and well-established questionnaire for the clinical assessment of symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. The test was developed by psychologist Simon Baron-Kogan and his colleagues at the Cambridge Autism Center and is not a diagnostic tool, but is only informative. Many of those who receive a result that meets the criteria for mild autism or Asperger's syndrome report no difficulty in daily life.

There are five subscales on the test, each of which can be scored from 0 to 10 points: communication skills, attention switching, attention to detail, communication, imagination.
