[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 272274, member: 1550"] Hi there. I don't live in California. Kind of the opposite--Wisconsin :happy:, but I've lived with a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) all my life. Except for the social skills part (and I never was that great at reading faces either), I can tell you that it can be impairing. For me, it is severe--IQ is 120 verbal and 85 performance so I sound very bright, but can't learn to perform simple tasks without extreme help and repetition. And I recommend that your daughter do what I did--REPETITION. She may need three driving courses and extra time with you and dad in the car before she can get the hang of driving. It took me forever to learn to drive safely. Once I did learn, I really did well--I had one accident at 18 (I still hadn't gotten the hang of it and tended to space out on the road), but no accidents since then. There ARE a lot of dings on all my cars--she may not have a good sense of perception (where she's at) and may hit things. I have a spatial oreintation problem too and dings on the cars are just part of who I am. I don't think a special instructor can help her. I think it's just a lot of repetition until her brains adjusts and she can do it. She CAN learn. But don't put her out there until you are sure she is safe. In my one accident, it was serious. I was lucky nobody was killed. And it was my fault. I was sort of snoozing at the wheel. I made a left hand turn as soon as the light turned green and didn't yield to the other cars. PLEASE make sure she gets tons of practice and be patient. She doesn't need to learn to drive before she can do it. My Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son is also going to go very slow with getting his license. Frankly, a non-verbal learning disability has a LOT in common with Aspergers. Just go easy with her--don't get frustrated. There is no rush, even if she thinks there is :happy:. I'll be happy to "talk" to her about it if you PM me. [/QUOTE]
