[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 616743, member: 1550"] Jules...a 20 point gap between verbal and non-verbal is called a non-verbal learning disability. It is a difficult problem (this is my main learning disability) because basically your verbal skills make you sound a lot more capable of performing than you are, since your non-verbal skills or performance level IQ is not as high as your verbal ability. This got me into much trouble both at school and once I went to work. Now my NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) was much more pronounced...120 verbal and 85 performance. But it is a problem for all people who have this discrepency because others expect more of us, due to our verbal astuteness. I will give you a link to explain it. Your son is on the mild end of a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). I really do hope you find a way to make school work, either AT school or online. He has definite academic potential! Anxiety can get MUCh better with lots of therapy and the best kind of therapy for anxiety is for older teens. I recommend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety. It is quite treatable. Sometimes a few medications help. I would stay away from stimulants as they can CAUSE anxiety. Ok, the link: Hope it gives you some direction. I really would like your son to do very well. I think he can. [url]http://www.medication.umich.edu/yourchild/topics/nld.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
