Le
but de cette étude était d'étudier si les personnes dans la population
générale ayant des scores élevés sur le Quotient du spectre de l'autisme
constituaient un seul groupe homogène ou non. Sur la base des résultats de l'analyse, les élèves pourraient être divisés en six groupes. Les résultats de cette étude ont suggéré que les personnes dans la
population générale avec des scores élevés au quotient de spectre
de l'autisme peuvent se composer de deux groupes qualitativement
différents.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the individuals in the general population with high scores on the Autism
Spectrum Quotient constituted a single homogeneous group or not. A
cohort of university students (n = 4901) was investigated by cluster
analysis based on the original five subscales of the Autism
Spectrum Quotient. Based on the results of the analysis, the students
could be divided into six clusters: the first with low scores on all the
five subscales, the second with high scores on only the 'attention to
detail' subscale, the third and fourth with intermediate scores on all
the subscales, the fifth with high scores on four of the five subscales
but low scores on the 'attention to detail' subscale and the sixth with
high scores on all the five subscales. The students with high total Autism
Spectrum Quotient scores (n = 166) were divided into two groups: one
with high scores on four subscales but low scores on the 'attention to
detail' subscale and the other with high scores on all the five
subscales. The results of this study suggested that individuals from the
general population with high Autism Spectrum Quotient scores may consist of two qualitatively different groups.
