My guess is that the NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) isn't the whole picture. A NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) requires a 20 point spread between verbal IQ and performance IQ. I have been diagnosed as severe NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD)--verbal IQ is over 120 and performance is 85. While frustrating and difficult to explain to others, the NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) isn't the reason I have had trouble--it's the bipolar/moodswings. A NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) can closely mimic Aspergers, however I was told I don't have Aspergers as I'm way too friendly and animated. I agree. I would want this child evaluated by a neuropsychologist. You may suggest that to your friend. In a few years, he'll be 18 and she won't be able to help him anymore. Time is of the essence. I think this boy needs to be in public school, where they are equipped to modify his curriculum and deal with his behaviors.
