Abstract

Introduction: Intelligence in children with autism has been underestimated for long. Previous studies have reported an uneven performance on intelligence tests. Better performance on Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) as compared to Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and Adults (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 IQ scores of children with autism and controls using RPM and WISC and to compare the performance of the two groups using the IQ tests. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study including 15 children with autism and normal controls was done. The children were subjected to WISC-III and RPM. Results: The study shows that normal 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: Matrices 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.

自闭症儿童和对照儿童智力的比较：Raven的渐进矩阵和韦氏智力量表III

引言：长期以来，自闭症儿童的智力一直被低估。先前的研究报告称，智力测试的表现参差不齐。一些研究发现，与韦克斯勒儿童和成人智力量表（WISC-III）相比，Raven’s Progressive Matrix（RPM）的表现更好。RPM快速且易于管理。因此，有必要了解RPM是否是一种可比的测试，可以挖掘自闭症儿童的智力。目的和目的：使用RPM和WISC找出自闭症儿童和对照组的百分位智商得分，并使用智商测试比较两组的表现。材料和方法：对15名自闭症儿童和正常对照进行了横断面研究。儿童接受WISC-III和RPM。结果：研究表明，正常儿童在智力测试中的表现要好于自闭症儿童。由于这两种测试的相关性，它们可以用来公平地测量自闭症儿童的智力。然而，RPM在自闭症儿童中表现出比WISC-III更好的分数。结论：矩阵可以作为一种替代方法，甚至是一种更好的测试来测量自闭症儿童的智力，就像标准的WISC-III一样。有必要对更多的自闭症儿童进行进一步的研究，以验证我们的发现。
