Wow! As far as I know NVLD is still not a recognized learning disability in the US. Shows what "they" know!
I have done a lot of research on the web but I can't find any real person who knows anything about it. My son fits the descriptions to a T. But I still think there is overlap with Aspergers Syndrome. He has been diagnosed as LD in a few areas mostly in comprehension.
We have just recently moved and aren't really put back together yet, so I don't have access to my files. I will tell you some of the areas I looked in and found extremely helpful links and info. NVLD is considered by some to be a part of the autism spectrum and I believe it. I taught my son to smile and to interpret facial expressions and a whole lot of things other children just pick up naturally. It's a good thing he was my first because I thought I was supposed to teach him these things. Thank the Lord for my ignorance otherwise I would have been discouraged at a time when I couldn't have taken any more.
Anyway; look up autism, autism spectrum, asperger's syndrome, ladders.org, aba-materials.com, aspergersyndrome.net, kandi.org/aspergers, nldline.com (an excellent resource), also anything that Sue Thompson has written- that was a huge help and assurance that I was on the right track with the things I was doing with my son.
Hope this helps.
