[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 429798, member: 1550"] I have a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). This means that I am verbally astute and excel in English/reading, but performance level work is very difficult for me. I will explain how this affected me all of my life. I have had a Neurologist explain this to me as well as a neuropsychologist. 1/I go in for a job interview and sound VERY intelligent, express myself extremely well, and sound as if I will do a great job. 2/I get the job (almost always, even with a lot of competition) and can not actually DO the work. I have a terrible time learning HOW to do things, whether it is using a computer or putting pieces together in a factory. I have zilch ability to PERFORM, even though I have excellent verbal and writing skills (which often do NOT show up in my posts...lol). My verbal IQ is 120, which is nearly superior. My performance level is 85, below average. Everyone has two IQs...verbal and performance. Usually, they are equal. When there is at least a twenty point difference, there is a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). When there is a 40 point different, like with me, there is a HUGE difference and it is a big problem. It is a common trait of Asperger's Syndrome, but nobody thinks I have Aspergers. You can have it without Aspegers. Frustration/rages are common. I used to rage as a child. Lack of coordination is common. I was a klutz. Still am :) And that nasty four letter word...MATH...forgetaboutit!!!! I never understood math and still don't. I wuv my calculator. These are kids the teachers scratch their heads over and say, "She's so bright! She must not be trying very hard." But it's not true. I don't know if that explained it well. I hope so. If not, I will post a link. This link is an excellent, just perfect description of a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). I was writing and spelling at age two and my mom thought I was a genius.
