How would you explain my Wechsler scores from high school?

Hi, everyone. I didn't realize this until yesterday, but I took a Wechsler III test in high school (I'm now in my mid-twenties.) I came across a report by a school psychologist in my old papers. In his summary of my results, he stated that my verbal score was in the 98th percentile (gifted) while my non-verbal score was in 14th percentile (close to retardation); a 47-point difference! I have trouble with some forms of visualization (as was mentioned in the report) and number sequences, but how would you explain this massive gap?
 
I think that sorta thing may be a kinda common ASD thing. My test scores are always uneven, not quite that dramatically. I think it's more like 97th to 28th and now I can't remember what is what. Have it somewhere upstairs but I don't feel much like rummaging around. Anyhoo, I do think it may be ASD related but no idea what it means.
 
me too!
 
Again it has to do with how the brain is hard wired.
Verbal and non-verbal are two different sections of the brain. Each can work completely differently.
So, it's an Aspie thing. :rolleyes:
