Many adults wonder if certain experiences or traits they have might relate to the autism spectrum. This page offers the AQ-10 questionnaire, a brief screening tool designed to help adults explore potential autistic traits. Learn more about understanding autism.

Please understand: This screener is preliminary. It cannot provide a diagnosis. Autism is complex, presenting differently in everyone. A formal diagnosis requires evaluation by professionals experienced in adult autism assessments.

If your results suggest further exploration, discuss your experiences with a mental health professional. Resources for finding qualified diagnosticians within Israel are listed below. Learn more about next steps after screening.

For each statement below, please choose the option that best describes how strongly you agree or disagree.

Dror Arbel

I'm Dror Arbel, Saar's parent and the founder of 101Autism.com. Saar is an autistic teenager who loves football, cycling and music, plays the piano and paints. Loud sounds can overwhelm him and sudden changes unsettle him, so much of what I write about comes from real life at home and at school. I started 101Autism to share our family's journey and to turn what we have learned about testing, school and daily life into clear, practical guides. I am a parent, not a clinician: I link to research and official sources, and nothing on this site replaces advice from a qualified professional.
