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

Daily Living
TL;DR: In this paper , the main goal of teaching daily living skills is to help a person become more independent, thus providing them with new opportunities within the community they live in, and various educational games and applications offer an alternative to the traditional teaching of these skills, and their effectiveness is confirmed by research.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored the relationship between adaptive behavior and cognitive function, executive function, and neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric comorbidities in individuals with 3q29 deletion syndrome (3q29del) and found that executive function was a better predictor of adaptive behavior than cognitive ability.
