[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 65887, member: 1550"] You can also have a Non-Verbal Learning Disability (I do). There is usually a big disparity between verbal IQ and performance IQ (my verbal IQ is almost 120 and my performance IQ is 85). These kids/adults sound extremely verbal and intelligent, but often can not tie their shoes (performance). Some experts feel that a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) *is* Aspergers. Others feel that they are separate, although similar. I never got the AS diagnosis. because "your affect is too animated, you're too friendly). I've had a lot of trouble holding jobs. Although I can talk my way into getting hired due to high verbal skills, I have so much trouble multi-tasking that I even got fired from MacDonalds. I also have face blindness, another common symptom of Aspergers...but who knows? This is NOT all sorted out yet--there is no definitive way to rule in or rule out AS. I feel I would have greatly benefited from early social skills and life skills (especially regarding organizational). I think it would have made a huge difference in my life. [/QUOTE]
