The Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (coda.io)

Abstract

The broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a set of personality and language characteristics that reflect the phenotypic expression of the genetic liability to autism, in non-autistic relatives of autistic individuals. These characteristics are milder but qualitatively similar to the defining features of autism. A new instrument designed to measure the BAP in adults, the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ), was administered to 86 parents of autistic individuals and 64 community control parents. Sensitivity and specificity of the BAPQ for detecting the BAP were high (>70%). Parents of children with autism had significantly higher scores on all three subscales: aloof personality, rigid personality, and pragmatic language. This instrument provides a valid and efficient measure for characterizing the BAP.

Note: This questionnaire is meant to be administered to individuals with an autistic relative to assess if they have traits that are similar to autism but not enough for a diagnosis, ig?

I would like to read your thoughts on the scale and general concept of this scale. Also, feel free to share your scores!

I understand this post is a couple of weeks old now, but I'm not able to access the site using Firefox on mobile using ublock / privacy badger. Frustrating spin as the site loads the content then slammed me with a non-compatible browser overlay.

Adding to insult, a simple misclick via chrome ate all my entries and I've not got the capacity to finish what I'd almost completed nor attempt to complete the questionnaire again.

Ugh, sounds pretty frustrating. Sorry you had that experience. I don't know of a way I can help remedy that tho. Any ideas?

Not sure friend, was a spur of the moment "yeah this will be fun" became a frustrating experience. I could probably change my user-agent on my desktop or try blocking elements in ublock to get around the unsupported browser junk.

Thanks for lending a hand however, very supporting <3
