[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 391138, member: 1233"] I did a fast google search asking if NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is in the DSM. Apparently is it not in the current version of the DSM. NOT sure why as it seems asinine to me to not have it in there. It IS real, I have seen it in quite a lot of people of widely varying ages. Fran's approach is very wise. I strongly recommend doing what you can to use her approach. Regardless of what they call it, as long as he is getting the help he needs the important things are being handled. Heck, as long as they helped Wiz learn to manage the anger that ate him alive years ago they could have diagnosis'd him as pregnant. I would not have cared if it got him the help he needed. It may sound flippant, but I am dead serious. as long as we got what Wiz needed I just couldn't waste time worrying about the diagnosis. I worried when the diagnosis would lead to medications or therapies that were not appropriate, like giving him [I]more[/I] self esteem classes when he already thought he was the most valuable person in the world and everyone else was a "commoner" there to be his "serf" and take care of his every need and desire. Yup, he told me that. Idjit boy. Last thing he ever needed was classes in boosting his self esteem. grr. [/QUOTE]
