[QUOTE="Steely, post: 458294, member: 3301"] Well, I think in terms of schooling the school districts recognize both, but Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) - not otherwise specified is more widely known. I have heard as well that a lot of doctors are beginning to lean away from NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and use Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) as it seems to cover more spectrums. However, like you, my son never really fit the criteria for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) - and fit all the criteria for NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). In order to actually get a true diagnosis of NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) he needs to have a whole battery of neuropsychologist tests. One of the biggest indicators is a discrepancy of more than 15 points between verbal IQ and performance IQ. In your 30 day evaluation, did the doctors do these types of tests? [/QUOTE]
