I think that with aspies that IQ test results should be taken with a grain of salt. When I took the WAIS a couple years back, my IQ came out to 100. If you were to look at that number alone, you'd think that I'm just a typical person. But my subtest scores ranged from the 2nd to the 98th percentile. So, not so typical.
I'm not sure if you've seen your subtest scores but I would recommend doing so to understand the overall score better. Again, with aspies, the overall score can be pretty inaccurate since we often struggle in some areas while being really gifted in others.
The report was only given to those who either had difficulties with adaptive functioning or with an IQ below 70. I didn't have either so the report wasn't given to me.
I was told though, that in visual-spatial aspect, my IQ was lower, but was much higher in verbal aspects. I was also tired and nervous on the day of the test. Not to mention I had a midterm right after.
