[QUOTE="Steely, post: 407397, member: 3301"] SEE - this is the whole deal - how truly confusing for all of us! I mean labels do not mean much, I guess - but as you guys are saying it helps when getting help from the school and in understanding our children. Matt was an off the chart toddler - talked at 8 months - and by the age of 2 he could recognize the alphabet, throw a ball like a pro, was potty trained, and spoke like a professor. Then around 3 I am not sure if I noticed it or not but a lot of his rapid development slowed down. For a child who knew their letters at 2 he should have had no problem reading by 4 1/2, but it was hard for him and he didn't nail it until around the first grade. No one EVER said anything about AS until I started asking about it, and I demanded a neuropscyhe test which is where the whole eye contact them came up. I know one main difference between Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), AS and NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is that NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is considered a learning disorder. The 20 point variance in Matt's IQ meant a learning difference, which is why NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is not in the DSMV as a psychiatric diagnosis. So I wonder if that really is the question - does having the NVLearning Disorder sometimes lead to psychological issues like Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and AS? Perhaps if you have a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) you also are Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or AS in varying degrees??? [/QUOTE]
