Ja. Processing speed was also my weakest area.

I only did the first two levels and I found it a sinch. I have always loved these games and I would have to dig out my medical records to see my old scores. I think they were always higher than my other scores.

I always did relatively poorly in block design, but usually pretty good in coding.

I went from slightly below average when I was 15, to average as an adult in block design.

I wasn't told my score but I did pretty bad with it partly because of a rare low vision disorder, problems with my brain processing things I do see visually, & a tremor disorder that acts up when doing things with fine motor-skills. I'm sure this was one of the reasons Aspergers got ruled out for me because I didn't fit the typical Aspie pattern.

Wow, didn't expect this thread to come back to life almost a year later :) I guess I can now comment on my own scores. My nonverbal IQ came out to be 94, verbal was 134, creating a full-scale IQ of 111, although the size of the gap between my two subscores makes the FSIQ kind of meaningless. My block design score was a 7, putting me in the 16th percentile, but my vocabulary score was a 19, in the 99.9th percentile. Got to love the huge autistic ability gap!

I'm using a version of firefox (called iceweasel) that is optimized for Debian Linux. Flash is working on other websites.

I don't think that it is necessarily true that people with Aspergers are better at block design. When I took the WAIS as part of a diagnostic assessment, my block design was not my strong point- I scored around 115 I think on that- but I don't remember exactly. My verbal IQ was higher than my performance IQ by over 10 points. I think that it may differ between HFA and AS actually. I read that people with AS tend to have higher verbal IQs, while those with HFA will have more visual/spatial skills- and do better on the performance aspect of the IQ test.

Anyways, you can't claim to have sucked on the test until you get the score back. This is because its a normed test- you won't know how you did until you know how the average person did.
