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 = 36). Discrepantly high VIQ and NVIQ were associated with autism social symptoms but not communication symptoms or repetitive behaviors. Higher VIQ and NVIQ were associated with better adaptive communication but not socialization or Daily Living Skills. IQ discrepancy may be an important phenotypic marker in autism. Although better verbal abilities are associated with better functional outcomes in autism, discrepantly high VIQ in high-functioning children may also be associated with social difficulties.
我们调查了 VIQ 和 NVIQ(智商分裂)之间差异与自闭症症状和适应行为的关系,该研究样本为高功能(平均 FSIQ=98.5)自闭症谱系障碍的学龄儿童,分为三组:VIQ 差异高(n=18);NVIQ 差异高(n=24);VIQ 和 NVIQ 相等(n=36)。VIQ 和 NVIQ 差异高与自闭症社交症状相关,但与沟通症状或重复行为无关。较高的 VIQ 和 NVIQ 与更好的适应性沟通相关,但与社交或日常生活技能无关。智商差异可能是自闭症的一个重要表型标志物。尽管在自闭症中,更好的语言能力与更好的功能结果相关,但高功能儿童的 VIQ 差异高也可能与社交困难相关。
