Black, David O.; Wallace, Gregory L.; Sokoloff, Jennifer L.; Kenworthy, Lauren – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
We investigated the relationship of discrepancies between VIQ and NVIQ (IQ split) to autism symptoms and adaptive behavior in a sample of high-functioning (mean FSIQ = 98.5) school-age children with autism spectrum disorders divided into three groups: discrepantly high VIQ (n = 18); discrepantly high NVIQ (n = 24); and equivalent VIQ and NVIQ (n =…
