Abstract
The Korean Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (K-WPPSI) was administered to 27 autistic children, 3 to 7 years of age. The average IQ was 51.96. There were negative correlations of verbal and performance IQs with chronological age. These children generally performed very poorly on each subtest. Paradoxically, the verbal subtest scores of these autistic children were higher than their performance scores; thus, the typical verbal inferionity of autistic children was not evident in this study. These results suggest that autistic children`s K-WPPSI performance needs to be interpreted with care; additional raw score analysis was recommended. Administrative revision of the K-WPPSI will be necessary to measure detailed intellectual differences among autistic children.
