对84名自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者从2岁到19岁进行了非言语智商（NVIQ）检测。大多数智力残疾范围内的成年人在儿童时期的得分也低于70，大多数平均智商范围内的成年人在3岁时就已处于该范围。然而，在能力较低的范围内，实际得分从2岁到19岁有所下降，这可能部分是由于合适测试的局限性。使用文兰适应行为量表第二版（Vineland - II）的日常生活技能得分代替非言语智商，在统计上并没有改善2岁和19岁得分之间的对应关系。临床医生和研究人员在对不同年龄的自闭症谱系障碍患者进行个体内部或个体之间基于准确得分或特定能力范围的比较时应谨慎。
Nonverbal IQ (NVIQ) was examined in 84 individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) followed from age 2 to 19. Most adults who scored in the range of intellectual disability also received scores below 70 as children, and the majority of adults with scores in the average range had scored in this range by age 3. However, within the lower ranges of ability, actual scores declined from age 2 to 19, likely due in part to limitations of appropriate tests. Use of Vineland-II daily living skills scores in place of NVIQ did not statistically improve the correspondence between age 2 and age 19 scores. Clinicians and researchers should use caution when making comparisons based on exact scores or specific ability ranges within or across individuals with ASD of different ages.
