Screening Tool - Social
FQ
Friendship Questionnaire
A 35-item self-report measure of friendship style developed by Baron-Cohen and Wheelwright (2003). It assesses the quality, depth, and motivation of friendships. Lower scores are associated with autism.
Important: This is a screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. A score below 60 suggests friendship patterns associated with autism. However, many factors influence friendship style and a low score alone does not indicate autism. Please consult a qualified professional for diagnosis.

Your Neurodivergent Trait Profile
Based on your FQ answers. Lower friendship scores map to higher neurodivergent traits. Complete more quizzes to build a richer profile.
Reminder: This is a screening tool only. It does not provide a diagnosis. The FQ measures friendship style, not friendship ability. Lower scores reflect a preference for activity-based or less emotionally intimate friendships, which is common in autism. If your results raise questions, consider speaking with a specialist who understands autism and neurodivergence.
