Table 3 Scores on empathizing and systemizing quotient. Raw scores are given and z-scores relative to both healthy controls and patients with Asperger Syndrome/ high-functioning autism (AS/HFA) are given in parentheses. Our subjects were compared to published norms from adult female control subjects and adult females with Asperger Syndrome/High Functioning Autism. We calculated estimated Autism Quotient scores from EQ and SQ scores using a formula derived from data of 1761 typical adults

From: Does bilateral damage to the human amygdala produce autistic symptoms?
