[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 118203, member: 1550"] Is he getting any interventions, since he's not in school? Do you have any supports in place for his future? I know my son, who is now fourteen, is already starting a plan for when he's eighteen and is getting a lot of supports. I have a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). I've been dxd. over and over again to see if it's Aspergers and nobody thinks it is, but in my opinion it's just as difficult to deal with "the world." The only real difference is that I appear animated, bubbly and friendly, but my social skills are very poor and I tend to like to be alone or just with my family. You need a lot of coping mechanisms, which were never taught me, with a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). I have a verbal IQ nearly 120 and a performance level of 85. I am confused a lot of the time...lol. Wish I'd known some tricks I've recently learned when I was young because I had a really rough time in my adult years. Whether it's Aspergers or a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD), in my opinion he should get a lot of help with coping skills. Everything from trying to find your way to a simple destination to figuring out change to figuring out how to organize your desk is a real battle for someone with a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) (or at least it has been for me). I lost a lot of jobs because of it. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
