Asperger Syndrome

Abstract
This article reports the results of an analysis of Wechsler IQ scores of children and youth diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. The data revealed cognitive patterns dissimilar to those of children with other autism-related disorders and similar to many typically developing and achieving individuals. These findings are discussed in reference to identification and intervention issues related to students with Asperger syndrome, a diagnostic group that has been especially difficult to identify and provide with effective interventions.
