Autism Traits Check-In (Adults)

This check-in is based on a brief questionnaire (AQ-10) that looks at patterns related to social communication, attention, and preferences in daily life.

It reflects how you generally experience the world, rather than how you feel in a specific moment.

This is not a diagnosis, but a starting point for understanding your experiences.

Everyone has different ways of thinking, relating, and processing information—this check-in simply highlights patterns that may or may not feel relevant to you.

Below are statements about how you generally think, feel, and relate to the world. Please indicate how much you agree or disagree with each statement.
