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

TL;DR: The authors preview the process for developing ICF Core Sets for ASD, a collaboration with the World Health Organization and the ICF Research Branch, with the goal of providing useful standards for research and clinical practice and generating a common language for functioning and impairment in ASD in different areas of life and across the life span.

Brief report: DSM-5 "levels of support:" a comment on discrepant conceptualizations of severity in ASD.
TL;DR: Examination of overlap between mild, moderate, and severe impairment classifications based on autism symptoms, cognitive skills, and adaptive functioning in 726 participants with ASD highlighted the need for a clearly elucidated method of classifying level of support in ASD diagnosis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of parent training on adaptive behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and disruptive behavior and concluded that reduction in disruptive behavior can lead to improvement in activities of daily living.
