[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 390395, member: 1550"] Hate to break this to your doctor, but a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) exists. It is a large discrepancy between verbalization and performance. People who have NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) sound extremely intelligent and are very verbally astute, however they tend to have problems performing tasks at the same level. Therefore, teachers and employers are impressed by their verbal intelligence and expect them to do well. Often they can't (I was diagnosed with a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD)). And that is what used to happen when I'd go to school then, later, apply for a job. I'd be heading for the hills if this person decided that he/she doesn't "believe" in NVLDs. Unfortunately, not all diagnosticians are created equal. Some are good, some aren't. Beware of the bipolar diagnosis. It is often wrong...nobody has concluded how bipolar looks in kids. My son was misdiagnosed bipolar first and put on a slew of drugs he didn't need and had bad reactions to for four years. He's been medication-free for six years now and much better now than when he was all drugged up. And no way does he have bipolar! Do your homework, is my best suggestion and question, question, question! As for whether your son is an Aspie or not, if it walks like a duck...jmo. Have you read up on Aspergers? :) [/QUOTE]
