The AQ is divided into five categories made up of ten questions each: - Social Skill - Attention Switching - Attention to Detail - Communication - Imagination It is meant for adults with Level 1 autism (previously known as high-functioning autism and/or Asperger’s Syndrome) and can be self-administered. Later, different versions were developed for other age ranges, namely: Adolescent (Baron-Cohen 2006) and Child (Baron-Cohen 2008)

The AQ-10 is the short version of the AQ, modified by Allison et al in 2011. It is comprised of the same five categories, with two questions each. Equally there is an Adult, Adolescent and Child version, but there are slight differences in the questions used.
