A meta-analysis was performed to examine differences in IQ profiles between individuals with Asperger's disorder (AspD) and high-functioning autism (HFA). Fifty-two studies were included for this study. The results showed that (a) individuals with AspD had significantly higher full-scale IQ, verbal IQ (VIQ), and performance IQ (PIQ) than did individuals with HFA; (b) individuals with AspD had significantly higher VIQ than PIQ; and (c) VIQ was similar to PIQ in individuals with HFA. These findings seem to suggest that AspD and HFA are two different subtypes of Autism. The implications of the present findings to DSM-5 Autism Spectrum Disorder are discussed.
进行了一项荟萃分析,以研究阿斯伯格障碍(AspD)患者与高功能自闭症(HFA)患者在智商概况上的差异。本研究纳入了52项研究。结果显示:(a)阿斯伯格障碍患者的全量表智商、言语智商(VIQ)和操作智商(PIQ)显著高于高功能自闭症患者;(b)阿斯伯格障碍患者的言语智商显著高于操作智商;(c)高功能自闭症患者的言语智商与操作智商相似。这些发现似乎表明,阿斯伯格障碍和高功能自闭症是自闭症的两种不同亚型。本文讨论了这些发现对《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第5版自闭症谱系障碍的意义。
