It's a decent " first pass " test instrument - a screening tool - by a top-line mental-health investigator, and still used by many professionals. *However* -- Quickly thereafter discussing the results with your partner MAY NOT be a good idea. At least not until *you* know a very great deal more about autism. Maybe even, not until you - yourself - have consulted a professional about the issues between yourself and your partner, and any personal issues of your own. Why? Because this is a relationship minefield. Your partner very well may view your comments as an *attack* on him, his mental health, your relationship together, his manhood... I've seen good long-term relationships absolutely destroyed by these well-meaning " conversations " .
