Is it just a term that is tossed around, or are there real criteria for BAP? I definitely don't experience the symptoms of AS, but wonder if some subtle social difficulties might be an indicator of BAP...

There is a test on OKCupid that lists BAP as a type. That's the only place I've seen the term used much.

Found the page: http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-broad- ... otype-test

I came out definitely BAP and possibly aspie on this test, but I've similarly been unable to find a concrete list of BAP criteria.

Do they make a difference? I only get them as one category:

You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype.

There are no criteria for BAP, but WP is just as good for learning about BAP as ASD, I think.

BAP means having autistic traits that are lesser in severity, frequency, and variety than the autistic traits in ASD.

I made that scale, and yes, autistic and BAP are lumped together. The test I copied only had cutoffs for BAP.

Here's the link to the study I grabbed that questionnaire from:
