[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 78984"] Studies conducted by the Yale Child-Study Group suggest that up to 80% of children who meet the criteria for AD also have NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). While there are no studies on overlap in the other direction, most likely children with the more severe forms of NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) also have AD. Children from both groups are socially awkward and pay over-attention to detail and parts, while missing main themes or underlying principles. However, by convention, the two groups differ in the range of severity. Professionals reserve an AD diagnosis for children with more severe social impairment and behavioral rigidity; some symptoms may overlap with high functioning autism. There are degrees of severity within AD but not to the extent that is acceptable in diagnosing NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). These degrees can range from extreme autistic behavior to cases where the social difficulties are very subtle and the academic/cognitive difficulties are more prominent. [/QUOTE]
