I'm diagnosed NVLD, and if I remember correctly, the gap for me is high. My verbal IQ was 130 or so, but my performance around 80. The people diagnosing me said I was basically "almost but not quite" for an Aspergers diagnosis, I believe there was pressure on them too to not diagnose me Aspergers also. My official diagnosis was NVLD + Schizoid personality type (which the Schizoid thing is now better, imo, but back 3 years ago for the diagnosis, I had to turn off all my emotions just to survive, so yeah.) Also, general IQ tests from around that time always showed a general IQ of around 110. My most recent one taken about a month ago, 2 general IQ tests showed 95, and I also took a verbal IQ test which still showed 130. I think it's because back when I was in school, I still regularly did math in my head. Both of the recent tests were just free online tests taken by myself.

I mean, I fit many characteristics, just I think because I hadn't gotten diagnosed til 17 after high school, I had to just sink or swim and push myself or else I'd die, so to speak. Also, I went to a private Christian school, where my personality more or less worked for me, rather than against me. My big problems came in public school in middle school. A lot of the Aspie problems common on this board aren't common to me anymore, just because I've managed to adapt fairly well, but I still melt down and stuff for no good reason.

I don't know, take it for what you want.

Thats EXACTLY what it is... I call it being able to talk the talk but not walk the walk!

I'm highly vocal and can shoot my mouth off about topics but if I was put in a practical situation and had to apply my so called knowledge I'd be like, errr... And then probably give up!

The most bizarre thing of all is that it doesn't only reflect in WAIS testing you can see it in my Uni grades too, I find that in exams and essays, more often than not I can get A grades but my project grades are usually lower ranging all the way from As to Es depending on the type of work.

Its really annoying especially as sometimes people can mistake being good at written work for being a genius but then when they get to know me they realise soon enough that I'm not!


Your post makes me laugh because it is so true. I was purported to be a genius by some of my classmates and even some of the faculty in college. All I know is it doesn't take a whole lot to be called one these days. I usually did ace most of the tests, but everyone took that to mean that I already knew how to do everything without being shown in labs and in research projects, which actually is probably somewhat of a weakness with me. I would actually say that doing well in the classroom was detrimental to learning for me. If I was an average student I would probably have received more help at a more deliberate teaching pace, especially since I don't think I process auditory instructions well. That is life I suppose.
