Assessment groups were: Group 1: n=81 children with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or high-functioning autism (HFA); Group 2: n=22 children diagnosed PDD-NOS with average IQ; and Group 3: n=372 randomly selected controls from primary and secondary schools. Both clinical groups scored significantly higher than controls (AS/HFA mean AQ=31.9, SD=6.93; PDD-NOS mean AQ=28.0, SD=6.88; controls mean AQ=11.7, SD=5.94). Among the controls, males scored significantly higher than females. The pattern of difference between clinical groups and controls was found to be similar in both countries.
