I found your post very interesting. My daughter is taking an AP psychology class in school and she was discussing with her teacher how her brother with Asperger's would be considered to have a high degree of cognitive intelligence according to IQ tests but he is certainly lacking in what is known as "emotional intelligence". This emotional intelligence is often considered the key ingredient to success. It deals with desire, perseverance, determination etc. The teacher agreed that children on the spectrum would be expected to be lacking emotional intelligence but offered that this is an area that can be improved upon, unlike standard IQ. Perhaps he was referring to cognitive behavior therapy. I would really like to do more reading about this. Thanks for the interesting post.
