⚠ The BAPQ measures the broad autism phenotype — a milder, sub-clinical set of personality and language traits — and it was designed for and validated on the non-autistic relatives of autistic people, not as a self-diagnostic for your own autism. A subscale at or above its cut-off says “this leaning is pronounced for me,” not “you are autistic”; a score below says little, since masking and relative-based norms can both pull scores down. Read it as a gentle, personality-level lens to sit alongside the broader tests here and your own history — not as a verdict.
