Which condition can exhibit normal intellectual functioning but impaired social skills?

The condition characterized by normal intellectual functioning but impaired social skills is autism. Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have a wide range of intellectual capabilities, including average or above-average intelligence. However, they often struggle with social interaction, communication, and understanding social cues. Social skills are crucial for navigating interpersonal relationships, and those with autism may find it challenging to form connections or engage in typical social behaviors, even if their cognitive abilities are intact.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can influence social skills, but it typically includes issues related to attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity rather than a consistent pattern of impaired social functioning independent of these behaviors. Depression and bipolar disorder primarily impact mood and emotional regulation, affecting social interactions but not specifically manifesting as a consistent social skills impairment while retaining intellectual functioning.
