[QUOTE="SRL, post: 38238, member: 701"] No brain scan unfortunately. No, there is no medication specifically for NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). Like many of the other disorders, you would medicate specific symptoms like anxiety, depression, etc. that might be part of the disorder. What is different is that NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) can be caused by oxygen deprivation to the brain during birth or (I believe) brain trauma. NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) has many overlapping symptoms with Asperger's but has a somewhat different "flavor" to it. Kids wiht NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) often get by in their early years with the parent thinking there's something up with this kid but I can't put my finger on what it is. If it hasn't been identified by junior high the move to junior high is usually when things come crashing down and parents are forced to look for answers. I'd be ignoring any psychiatrist's remarks that a neuropsychologist evaluation is a waste of time. You need a full picture. To diagnosis NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) the individual has to have a wide span in the IQ scores between the verbal and performance IQ with verbal being the low one. [/QUOTE]
