Cognitive profile difference between normally intelligent children with Asperger's disorder and those with pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified

Aim:  Asperger's disorder (Asperger syndrome, AS) and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD‐NOS) are different subtypes of mild pervasive developmental disorders (PDD). Methods:  Using the Japanese version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Third Edition (WI...

Description
Summary:Aim:  Asperger's disorder (Asperger syndrome, AS) and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD‐NOS) are different subtypes of mild pervasive developmental disorders (PDD). Methods:  Using the Japanese version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Third Edition (WISC‐III), 28 AS children (mean age, 9.3 years, 24 male) were compared with 78 PDD‐NOS children (mean age, 7.6 years, 64 male) with normal intelligence (IQ ≥ 85), using analysis of covariance (ancova) with the chronological age of a child as a covariate. Results:  Verbal IQ tended to be higher in the AS children than in the PDD‐NOS children (mean raw scores, AS vs PDD‐NOS: 103.9 vs 99.6; P
