Done for school supports.

Overall is 112, verbal is 132, perceptual is 109, memory is 122, and processing is... 74! 8O

I mean, am I smart? Or does it not matter? Does it make sense to tell people I have an IQ od 112 when most scores are far removed from that?

My psychiatrist told me that it's difficult to gauge IQ in people on the spectrum and that the highest value is usually a truer indicator.

It's certainly true that there are experts who argue that standard IQ tests are a poor measure of the intelligence of those with uneven profiles.

In my case: Very superior verbally but borderline spatially.
