The request was successful.

Dr Robert S. Coull

Dear Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership,

Please could you provide the following information:

People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or people with both a low Empathy Quotient and high Systemizing Quotient are ill suited to work that requires a high EQ and SQ (balanced brain) such as child protection work.

Are social workers working in children and family services screened for ASD or high SQ/low EQ issues?

If so, how are they screened?

Yours faithfully,

Dr Robert S. Coull
