By determining the distribution of the AQ in the nonclinical population, the AQ can now be used more definitively to assess the extent to which other specialist populations exhibit autistic traits.Abbreviations AQ: Autism-spectrum quotient AS: Asperger syndrome ASC: Autism spectrum condition BAP:...

in Study 2, this was unlikely to be due to differences in age. Given the potential relationship between RRBs and anxiety, it can be speculated that the higher incidence of anxiety traits in university populations (Andrews and Wilding2004; Stallman2010), alongside the screening for significant ...
