www.autism.com writes:  "If you're impatient to find out more right now, though, there are some great resources available. One of the best is a terrific online quiz, created by Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen and colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre. This Autism-Spectrum Quotient quiz isn't a diagnostic tool per se - but if you find you score especially high, it may be reason to look deeper into your concerns about AS."
