[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 609555, member: 1550"] You bet, Jules. People in all the issues you named, with executive functioning being a factor, tend to have problems regulating their emotions, controlling impulses and with social skills. I have never been able to be pinned down exactly, but for sure I have a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). And that causes many problems typical of Aspergers and that includes executive function problems. Can't tell you how hard it was to learn how to control my emotions, slow down my impulses and I still have problems with social skills. I think some typical parents with differently wired kids can't understand how hard it is for their kids to act "normal." I know everyone tries to understand their children. But, man, it's harder than anyone who doesn't have this problem to imagine and it takes A LOT of hard work to learn what others know instinctively. I am thinking that maybe the big umbrella issue is really Executive Function Disorder!! :) Thanks for the interesting info, Jules. [/QUOTE]
