Three groups of participants took part: n=48 people with autism spectrum, n=137 general population controls, and n=1,250 university student controls. Each participant completed the Empathy Quotient (EQ) and the Systemizing Quotient (SQ). Results: The autism spectrum condition (ASC) group scored significantly lower than controls on the EQ, and significantly higher on the SQ. Among both control groups, females scored significantly higher than males on the EQ, whilst males scored significantly higher than females on the SQ. The distribution of ‘brain types', based on the difference between EQ and SQ scores, showed distinct profiles for people with ASC, control males and control females.
