Possibilities of using the GQ-ASC questionnaire for the screening of autism spectrum disorders in female university students
2022
Abstract
In recent years, the number of students with ASD at university has increased and the distribution of students in individual study programs has changed. There are also more female students with ASD who, due to the mild manifestation of the disorder, did not need support or were not even diagnosed until now.
The article focuses on the possibilities of using the GQ-ASC questionnaire in university counseling centers. It shows its administration on the cases of 10 female students and compares its results with the diagnostic tool ADOS 2.
Last but not least, we also discusses the possible risks of interpreting the results due to the variability of female students.
