I'm glad I found this thread; I wasn't around when it was last active.

I just wanted to register here as a P of A; my 19 yo son was diagnosed in 1997 and retested in 2005. He is a senior in HS and will graduate this December. He has a big score gap between Perfomance versus Proceesing Speed. While many kids with diabilities have a gap of 60% versus 20%, Rock Jr has a gap of 99% versus 30%. He's high functioning but really slow at it, frustrating uninitiated teachers. Health professionals are reluctant to name a specific condition. It's Asperger's like with a strong indication of Non-Verbal Learning Disorder.

We are in the process of researching colleges, trade schools, and possibly therapeutic living environments. I will post some info about this post-HS stuff at a later date.

There's a lot to catch up with on this thread. So, I won't comment more until I read more.
