There are many different types of psychological tests that are done on children when testing them for autism. One of the more common ones is a behavioral assessment.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior, but it is not synonymous with mental challenge or intellectual disability. Many individuals with autism have average or above-average intelligence and unique strengths. However, some may also have co-occurring intellectual disabilities. It's important to recognize that autism exists on a spectrum, and each individual has their own capabilities and challenges.
One criterion for diagnosing Aspergers is being "average to above average in intellectual ability". The use of the GIA establishes the relative cognitive ability of the child. If the child shows to be below average, then Aspergers is ruled out. (Although that does not mean that autism is ruled out, as it is "average or above" is not a criterion for classic autism.)
No, intellectual development refers to the growth and advancement of cognitive abilities, such as thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Mental development is a broader term that encompasses not only cognitive abilities but also emotional, social, and psychological well-being.

I don´t know about severe autism but there are students at my university who are very very intelligent who have autism. I think the main hurdle in autism is the problem with social interaction which can hinder learning.
No. Some may have intellectual disabilities as well, but many have average to high IQs as well.
No. Mental health is a wide genre covering everything from information processing (intellectual) to body movement. Intellectual health is more about how well you can process information.
The biggest problem that exists in America today about Autism is ignorance. A lot of people don't understand Autism or respect Autistic people, there is a lot of prejudice that results in Autistic people being bullied, murdered, abused, tortured, and denied their rights.
