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

Sensory Integration and Perceptual-Motor Profiles in School-Aged Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder
TL;DR: The developmental continuum of body functions of school-aged children with ASD were characterized and their associations with adaptation and participation showed their associationsWith interventions aiming to improve body functions are indispensable.

Comparison of Adaptive Functioning Measures in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder Without Intellectual Disability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the adaptive functioning of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and found significant discrepancies between IQ and adaptive functioning, with significant adaptive skills deficits with most scores at least one standard deviation below the mean.

The role of every-day executive function in social impairment and adaptive skills in Autism Spectrum Disorder with intellectual disability
TL;DR: The authors examined every-day executive function (EF) in the classroom among children and adolescents diagnosed with both ASD and intellectual disability (ASD-ID) and their correlations with social impairment and adaptive functioning.

The Effects of Early Language on Age at Diagnosis and Functioning at School Age in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
TL;DR: The LD group was diagnosed at younger ages and their historical ASD symptoms were more severe than the NLD group, and IQ and social symptoms of ASD were stronger predictors of functioning at school age.
