[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 78834, member: 1550"] Weeping, that's exactly what *I* was told about myself. There is no cut off for AS. A twenty point discrepency between verbal and non-verbal is considered a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) though. There are now professionals who believe that a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and AS are the same. Do I care? Not a bit. The label won't change anything for me. I still get Disability because my NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) has been a killer in the job market. I can do verbal stuff really well--talk myself into getting hired for any job. Then you give me a simple taste like assembling a seat belt for a wheel chair, and if the seat belt is laying one way one time and another way another time, I can't figure out how to connect it. I also need notes on where to connect the hooks on the seat belts. I mean, I can do it ten times and still need visual aids. Yet I'm a romance writer and have published four e-books.
