• Resumen

  • Background and objectives: Little research has informed the intellectual profiling of adult ASD population. Besides, current findings on how intelligence level may vary with ASD symptom severity and social competence are mixed due to inconsistent use of parent- and self-report symptom measures.

    Methods: The present study examined the Wechsler intelligence profile of 23 Chinese ASD adults (mean age = 20.09), who are high-functioning (IQ > 70) and without co-morbidity.

    Results: Comparing with the normative sample, adults with ASD showed a Wechsler IQ profile with overall lower intellectual functioning. Scattering between indexes was prevalent. Intelligence level did not correlate with ASD symptomatology in both self-report or parent-report.

    Conclusions: Results did not support a prototypic Wechsler profile among adults with ASD.

    Intelligence level appears to be an independent construct to features of ASD
