^ In what way would a 'lopsided intelligence profile ' affect the ability to socialise ?
It is known that "Nonverbal learning disability" (NVLD), the combination of low nonverbal IQ with average-to-high verbal IQ, overlaps heavily with what used to be called Asperger's syndrome. People with NVLD may have trouble reading nonverbal social cues simply because they are nonverbal.
On the other hand, people with low verbal IQ but average-to-high nonverbal IQ are likely to have difficulties with conversation.
These kinds of difficulties by themselves do not constitute autism, but they are an important part of the picture for many (not all) autistic people.
The lop-sided IQ profile is one of the biggest things I've noticed that most autistic people have in common.
Personally, I have a verbal IQ of 141 and a non-verbal IQ of 79.
