[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 656457, member: 1550"] I don't care what they all it. I just want to work. My autistic son is very laid back about having a disorder and if it has to be called a disability, hey, it has him functioning in the community and living independently. Refusing to accept your difference in learning is cutting off your nose to spite your face. A NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) requires a company and boss who understands you will need time to learn, you will not multitask well, and that you need to often ask many questions. You can't just listen or look and learn. You have to be hands-on shown and much more than one time. I couldn't work at McDonalds. It went too fast for me and often people with NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) are poor at math...I was and this before the cash registers told you the change. The extreme fast pace ramped up my anxiety. NVLDers often have very high anxiety and depression. BUT THERE IS HELP! The Dept. of Vocational Rehab helps get you a job with a company that understands how you tick and you can even get a job coach to go with you until you catch on...and it can take five times longer to catch on than if you don't have a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). Some areas may be out of your ability area. BUT THERE IS STILL HELP! The larger the verbal/performance level score, the worse th e NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). A verbal IQ of 120 and a perforamnce level IQ of 85 will be even more challenging than a verbal IQ of 110 and a performance level IQ of 90 is a less severe NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD), but they are both NVLDs. A NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is a cognitive disorder, which does NOT mean you are mentally slow. It means you are very good usually in communication skills, but challenged in other areas. It is nothing to be ashamed of and has nothing to do with how lazy you are. However, if you don't accept help because it hurts your ego to think of yourself as disabled or differently abled or whatever (I really don't care what they call it myself) then you will get nowhere.
