Do autistic people think different to people without it?
Autism Spectrum Disorder encompasses a wide-spectrum of individual people whose intelligence levels mirror much of the typical population. Some autistic children are intellectually gifted, while others have cognitive delays and disabilities. Children and adults with Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism, tended to have normal to higher than normal IQ's and a higher level of fluid intelligence than the general population. Measuring intelligence is a difficult feat, especially among a those children with developmental delays that can hinder the typical measurement process (i.e. IQ tests, etc.). It is sometimes assumed that those with communication difficulties/delays, or those who are non-verbal (having little to no speech) have lower levels of intelligence; this however, is not the case. The ability to communicate is not indicative of the ability to understand, or the intelligence level of the child.

For more information on conditions that are comorbid with autism spectrum disorders, use the link for The National Autistic Society (UK): Mental health and Asperger syndrome.
