• Inner speech is used to mediate short-term memory, but not planning, among intellectually high-functioning adults with autism spectrum disorder (2012, methodology): “Two studies converge upon a three factor structure (Social Skills, Communication/Mindreading, Details/Patterns; Austin, 2005; Hurst, Mitchell, Kimbrel, Kwapil, & Nelson-Gray; 2007) and one study suggests a four factor structure (Social Skills, Communication/Understanding Others, Patterns,…”
• Factor Structure, Reliability and Criterion Validity of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ): A Study in Dutch Population and Patient Groups (2008, methodology): “Previously, an exploratory factor analysis performed in a British student population suggested three underlying factors within the AQ, encompassing Social skill, Details/patterns, and Communication/mind reading (Austin 2005).”
• Conducting Clinical Research Using Crowdsourced Convenience Samples. (2016, background): “AQ scores are correlated with both decreased extraversion and increased neuroticism (Austin 2005), providing convergent validity with the population differences in personality cited above.”
• The Structure and Nature of the Broader Autism Phenotype in a Non-clinical Sample (2011, methodology): “Research has also found that individuals with high AQ scores tend to score low on the traits of extraversion and agreeableness and high on the trait of neuroticism (Austin 2005; De Pauw et al. 2010; Wakabayashi et al. 2006).”
