[quote=Anonymous]Weeell, actually there's still more research to be done on this.
First, remember we're talking about Asperger's not autism so the IQs will be artificially inflated because you don't really consider someone to be Aspie if they have an IQ that is below average.
Lots of theories, research, analysis about the relationship between Asperger's and genius but no consensus. Some interesting reading:

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are most kids with Asperger's mainstreamed? What differentiates those who are mainstreamed versus those who are not? [b]I assume some of them are profoundly gifted [/b]so they may do better in a gifted program that does or does not also cater to kids with SN but what about those with average cognitive abilities? Where do they end up?

Well you would assume wrong.

For people with autism, "About 40 percent have average to above average intellectual abilities..."

Giftedness is more than just IQ in any case.[/quote][/quote]
