[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 540429, member: 14557"] If I'm not mistaken one of diagnostic criteria for asperger is normal or above normal IQ. Those numbers are for classic autism if I have understood correctly. I was also surprised when I heard that, but that was mostly because somehow I thought Rainman was accurate representation LOL I learned better while being member of local forum for autistic and ADHD kids. First I noticed that many people, whose kids had classic autism also mentioned their kids were with MR and after that I went looking for information and really, autistic savages are really rare, many severely autistic are also mentally retarded. And not even all or most asperger people are highly intelligent, they have normal range of intelligence and can be just as average as next person. Of course they often do have high amount of knowledge about their specific interests. [/QUOTE]
