Yep SS, this is why we are all trying to give him lots of reassurance. This is exactly what he says...it's not the right job for me, I'm no good at this, I'm never going to get used to it, etc. Anxiety compounds it for him.
So you know pretty much what he's dealing with, MWM! Yes, his NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) has been confirmed by two neuropsychologist exams. I did encourage him to get a little notebook and write everything down. He said he was going to go on Google images and see if he could pull up examples of lunchmeat. He was having trouble when the loaf was say halfway gone and the label wasn't there anymore.
Yes, like yourself, he has excellent verbal ability. When he was at home and trying to manipulate us, we told him he'd make a great courtroom lawyer!. Excellent writing skills, getting A's on research and essay papers. Because of this I think NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is kind of a hidden disability. People seem perfectly fine but have trouble organizing information that comes at them, multitasking, etc. They get lost easily and are not good at puzzles and assembling items.
We're encouraging him to hang in there, and that each day will get easier.
