  • You have scored 30 or more on the The Cambridge Behaviour Scale, or EQ, a validated screener which measures of the extent of autistic traits in adults. This does not screen in for ASD, however it does not pick everyone with ASD up. Empathy quotient (EQ) is a psychological self-report measure of empathy developed by Simon Baron-Cohen and Sally Wheelwright at the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge. EQ is based on a definition of empathy that includes cognition and affect. According to the authors of the measure, empathy is a combination of the ability to feel an appropriate emotion in response to another's emotion and the ability to understand the others' emotion (associated with the theory of mind). A useful cut-off of 30 was established when screening for autism spectrum disorders However, the form is only a screener, so if you still feel that you have significant ASD symptoms, We recommend that you consider booking a full ASD assessment, using the booking form on the site Thank you
