TLDR
The results indicate that IQ is a strong predictor of adaptive behavior, the gap betweenIQ and adaptive impairments decreases in lower functioning individuals with ASD, and older individuals have a greater gap between IQ and adaptive skills.Abstract:
The relationship between adaptive functioning and autism symptomatology was examined in 1,089 verbal youths with ASD examining results on Vineland-II, IQ, and measures of ASD severity. Strong positive relationships were found between Vineland subscales and IQ. Vineland Composite was negatively associated with age. IQ accounted a significant amount of the variance in overall adaptive skills (55%) beyond age and ASD severity. Individuals with ASD demonstrated significant adaptive deficits and negligible associations were found between the level of autism symptomatology and adaptive behavior. The results indicate that IQ is a strong predictor of adaptive behavior, the gap between IQ and adaptive impairments decreases in lower functioning individuals with ASD, and older individuals have a greater gap between IQ and adaptive skills.read more

Correlates of Adaptive Functioning in Minimally Verbal Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder.
TL;DR: There is a significant, but small, association between social affect deficits and adaptive skills, challenging clinicians, educators, and caregivers to target adaptive skills in addition to more specific features of ASD.

Relation between adaptive function and IQ among youth with histories of heavy prenatal alcohol exposure
Lauren R Doyle,Claire D. Coles,Julie A. Kable,Philip A. May,Philip A. May,Elizabeth R. Sowell,Kenneth L. Jones,Edward P. Riley,Sarah N. Mattson,Cifasd +9 more
TL;DR: Test the relation between adaptive function and general intellectual function in youth with and without prenatal alcohol exposure to find out whether adaptive function is less affected by intellectual function at higher ability levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased psychiatric symptoms in university students with autism spectrum disorder are associated with reduced adaptive behavior.
TL;DR: The ASD group showed a lower adaptive skill level than the non-ASD group as measured by the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (GAC-ABAS), and significant contributions of having an ASD diagnosis and severity of social anxiety explained 41.7% of the variance in adaptive skills.
