Do most "high functioning" autistic people score below average on none Raven IQ tests?

Mine was scored at low average (the examiner thought this determined my intelligence).

I think the test is for executive functioning, not IQ.

Oops I miss-read the title. The working memory part was very low on "verbal" cognitive test. This makes sense with the difficulties I've got.
