[QUOTE="SuzyfromTexas, post: 14040, member: 3338"] Tired Mommy and SRL and to all others on this thread, This info has been so valuable to me. It has made me rethink that more testing needs to be done with an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) specialist. My son has been evaluated (6-7 hours of testing) but no diagnosis given other than exhibits some characteristics of NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). My problem is that I don't know if I should involve the school or not. He does very well in a school setting and the teacher does not notice any differences. (I know that doesn't mean that there aren't differences, just not obvious to her.) My dilemma is that I don't want to ignore problems he might have, but don't know if involving the school would be benefical at all. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I want to give him all the support he needs early on, but don't want to make a big issue out of it in case that might somehow single him out as different and make it worse. Another problem I have is that my husband thinks we need to let this drop. In his mind, he's been evaluated, he's fine, end of story. Anyway, there is a lot more subtlety to this issue than first meets the eye. [/QUOTE]
