[QUOTE="nvts, post: 79571, member: 3814"] Hi! My guys were both diagnosed with Aspergers, but show some of the NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) (as I'm reading your descriptions - never heard of this diagnosis) traits. We're finding help for them as situations develop. They both CRAVE friends, but cannot figure out the best way to make them. So, here we go researching Social Skills classes. They both have HORRIBLE handwriting - you guessed it, occupational therapy. One goal that they both seem most focused on is to drive ME crazy as quickly as possible! [img]:smile:[/img] Basically: I'm obtaining as many services as quickly as possible (which is why I like the Aspie diagnosis) to asuage my own potential guilt. I don't want to sit there 20 years down the road and say "Shoulda, coulda, woulda". I figure they'll be on the "couch" blaming me for everything ANYWAY, but at least I can pull out a list to hand their therapists showing what I tried to do!!! [img]:rofl:[/img] Aspies tend to get a lot of services, (where I don't know for sure) with the other diagnosis, they'd encounter a lot of "he needs PT, Occupational Therapist (OT) or Speech" as opposed to all the other stuff he may need. Just a hunch! Beth [/QUOTE]
