[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 79906, member: 3907"] I think there is a lot of overlap between NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and Asperger's, but I'm not sure that they are the same disorder. From research I've done, it seems that there are so many traits that indicate AS, and many of the same traits indicate NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). I don't think any of these conditions exists in a vacuum, and since the "official" diagnoses are still relatively new, the professionals are still figuring it all out too. My difficult child, who has a clear diagnosis of Asperger's, has the opposite of NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). His performance IQ is significantly higher than his verbal IQ. This despite the fact that he has an extensive vocabulary and never shuts up. Asperger's as a label may very well allow for access to more services than a diagnosis as NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). Until the psychiatric community figures out the difference, I think the only available information comes from those of us who either have one or both disorders, or are parents to children who do. Just my $0.02 Trinity [/QUOTE]
