Aspies with average IQ
This year I´ve also found a website that offers free cognitive assessments, and I tried it out. My verbal reasoning turned out to be higher than average, while my visual reasoning was considerably low. I also scored very high in memory, but my executive functions, including my working memory, were low-average. I also scored low in perception, coordination and attention.
Overall, I don´t think most aspies are geniuses or savants. I think we´re just more likely to excel in certain areas and be way below average in others, and our scores in those tests depend highly on what they are evaluating.
The website is called Unobrain. It´s a "gym for the brain" and they have many mental games for users to train. You can create a free account and do a complete cognitive asessment for free, which includes 14 different tests. However, I only found the website in Spanish and I don´t know whether it exists in English. I was OK with that because Spanish is actually my first language.

I’m ignoring the grammatical reasoning score as my Spanish is poor . The arithmetic one it took me a while to suss the numbers in Spanish and what was plus or minus.
