[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 172610, member: 2423"] What kind of professional diagnosed your difficult child with "non-specific read/write learning disability"? Has he undergone a full neuropsychological evaluation? Has he ever had a speech/language evaluation? By definition, children withASD have problems in the non-verbal/non-spoken areas of communication. What you are describing, however, falls under the category of typical language-based learning disorders (which include expressive, receptive, processing and articulation language disorders). Most routine speech and language evaluations examine these areas. If he hasn't had this type of evaluation, I'd recommend one, preferably private because the SD will only assess areas of educational impact and not look at the full picture. neuropsychologist testing examines areas of cognition (thinking) rather than language per se. I agree with posting your question on the Special Education 101 forum. [/QUOTE]
