VAN BERCKELAER-ONNES, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.782-787 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : High-functioning-autism Asperger-syndrome Intelligence WAIS-III Processing-speed Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The WAIS III was administered to 16 adults with high functioning autism (HFA) and 27 adults with Asperger syndrome. Differences between Verbal Intelligence (VIQ) and Performance Intelligence (PIQ) were not found. Processing Speed problems in people with HFA appeared. At the subtest level, the Asperger syndrome group performed weak on Digit Span. Comprehension and Block Design were relative strengths. In the HFA group, performance on Digit-Symbol Coding and Symbol Search was relatively poor. Strengths were found on Information and Matrix Reasoning. The results suggest that the VIQ-PIQ difference cannot distinguish between HFA and Asperger syndrome. WAIS III Factor Scale and Subtest patterning provides a more valid indicator.
