Can you have high functioning autism spectrum disorders but have a low IQ from autism i know this doesn't make any sense I am just curious or is It something else causing It.?

Yes, it is possible for someone with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to have a low IQ, as high-functioning autism typically refers to individuals who have average or above-average intelligence but may still face significant challenges in social interaction and communication. However, the autism spectrum encompasses a wide range of cognitive abilities, and it’s important to recognize that individuals can have varying levels of intelligence and functioning. Low IQ can occur independently of autism or can be a result of co-occurring conditions. Ultimately, each individual's profile is unique, and a comprehensive evaluation by a professional is essential to understand their specific strengths and challenges.
