NHS test used by GPs to detect adults with autism is UNRELIABLE, academics warn An autism test used by GPs to flag adults with the condition in adults is 'unreliable', academics have said.
The Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ10) screens adults who are suspected of having the condition but do not have learning disabilities.
They are asked 10 questions including 'do you notice small sounds others don't?' and 'do you find it hard to read people's emotions from their face?'.
British psychologists examined the effectiveness of AQ10 in measuring autism using data from over 6,500 people in the general population. The Daily Mail
