Abstract

Introduction: Intelligence in children with autism has been a challenge for long. Previous studies have reported an uneven performance on intelligence tests. Better performance on Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) as compared to Wechsler's intelligence scale for children III (WISC-III) has been found in some studies. RPM is quick and easy to administer. Hence, there is a need to understand if RPM is a comparable test to tap the intelligence in children with autism. Aims and Objectives: To find the percentile intelligence quotient (IQ) scores of children with autism and neurotypical children using RPM and WISC III and to compare the performance of these two groups on IQ tests. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study including 15 children with autism and normal (neurotypical) children was done after institutional ethics committee approval. The subjects were subjected to WISC-III and RPM. Results: The study shows that neurotypical children perform better on intelligence tests than children with autism. Both tests can be used to measure intelligence in children with autism fairly owing to their correlation. However, RPM showed better scores than WISC-III, for children with autism. Conclusions: RPM can be used as an alternative and an even better test to measure intelligence in children with autism just as the standard WISC-III. Further studies in a larger population of children with autism are warranted to validate our findings.

自闭症儿童与对照组儿童智力比较试验研究：瑞文渐进矩阵和韦氏智力量表-III

导言长期以来，自闭症儿童的智力一直是一个难题。以往的研究报告显示，自闭症儿童在智力测验中的表现参差不齐。一些研究发现，与韦氏儿童智力量表 III（WISC-III）相比，瑞文渐进矩阵（RPM）的表现更好。RPM 施测快速、简便。因此，有必要了解 RPM 是否是一种可比的自闭症儿童智力测试。目的和目标：使用 RPM 和 WISC III 测试自闭症儿童和神经正常儿童的百分位数智商 (IQ) 分数，并比较这两组儿童在 IQ 测试中的表现。材料和方法：经机构伦理委员会批准，对 15 名自闭症儿童和正常（神经畸形）儿童进行了横断面研究。受试者接受了 WISC-III 和 RPM 测试。研究结果研究表明，神经畸形儿童在智力测验中的表现优于自闭症儿童。由于两者之间存在相关性，因此这两项测试都可以用来公平地测量自闭症儿童的智力。然而，对于自闭症儿童而言，RPM 的得分要高于 WISC-III 的得分。结论：RPM 与标准的 WISC-III 一样，可以作为测量自闭症儿童智力的替代测试，甚至是更好的测试。我们有必要在更多的自闭症儿童中开展进一步研究，以验证我们的发现。
