15 School-aged high functioning children on the autistic spectrum were compared with a neurotypical cohort on the WISC-III and the KABC-II, to determine the impact of the relatively more strict timing criteria of the former test on the evaluation of nonverbal intelligence. Significant group effects, showing lower performance by the ASD group were found for three of the five sub-tests for the WISC but not for the KABC, peaks and troughs were more evident for the WISC, and the evaluation of intellectual level was also markedly lower for ASD children on the WISC-III as opposed to the KABC-II. The results are discussed in terms of how speed of processing can impact on how children with ASD are 'matched' against neurotypical samples.
15 名学龄期高功能自闭症谱系儿童与神经典型对照组在 WISC-III 和 KABC-II 上进行比较，以确定前者测试相对更严格的时间标准对非言语智力评估的影响。在 WISC 的五个分测验中有三个测验发现自闭症组的表现明显低于对照组，但 KABC 则没有，WISC 的峰谷更为明显，WISC-III 对 ASD 儿童的智力水平评估也明显低于 KABC-II。这些结果从处理速度如何影响自闭症儿童与神经典型样本“匹配”的角度进行了讨论。
