Previous research using WAIS-IV and WISC-IV standardization data has demonstrated an association between Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and Asperger’s syndrome (ASP), but not autism spectrum disorder (AUT). The current study explores whether this same pattern of association persists when examining the WPPSI-IV standardization sample.
