[QUOTE="Steely, post: 78647, member: 3301"] No, Non-Verbal Learning Disorder is actually diagnosed with a battery of tests performed by the Psychologist. My son had his back almost 10 years ago, but if I remember correctly - they tested him and realized he was quite superior in language skills, but had a large point discrepancy between that and his performance skills. So, in a nutshell, things like math and reading comprehension are really hard for him - but things like, uh, talking, or taking information in verbally or orally is easier for him. This deficit also applies to a variety of other things like a lack of coordination, or reading social Qs, or seeing the world as more black and white and not being able to see the gray. I am definitely NOT the expert, so hopefully others will chime in as well. When my son was tested AS had barely even been "discovered", and no one has ever even brought that up to me as a possibility. Now, as my son grows older, his deficit seems more pronounced - and I wonder if I should have him re-tested with a possibly, more proper diagnosis of AS.....however, I am not sure what that would help. So, to answer your question, has your son had neuro-psychiatric testing? If not, that is the next step in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
