Abstract

The author reflects on the testing methods used to test the intelligence of autistic children in which they are asked questions by strangers. In the widely-used Wechsler test they have to exclusively respond to stranger's questions. In the Raven's Progressive Matrices test, they get to work on their own, and score significantly higher with this test.
