> The average might be 71, we cannot deduce that one way or the other from "IQ of 70 or greater". We cannot deduce that from this single quote alone, but there are far more detailed figures available[1]: > 31% of children with ASD have an intellectual disability (intelligence quotient [IQ] <70), 25% are in the borderline range (IQ 71–85), and 44% have IQ scores in the average to above average range (i.e., IQ >85). If only the autistic people with IQ of 70 or greater are considered "high-functioning", then 64% of them have IQ greater than 85. In other words, 2/3 of people with High-functioning autism are of average or above average intelligence.
