Yes, looking in Youtube, there seems to be folks offering to help with Articulation.
The only offers I can find for inflection seems to be for performers. |

I am thinking of hiring somebody by Skype to help me with both autistic voice and articulation. What should I look for? How many hours for some improvements? (This is for myself, an ... |

Psychosomatic type problems are often said to be high in NVLD/AS/ASD.
Any research on this?
Is it high compared to the prevalence of emotional problems?
Is it high considering the combination of mental problems and internalization tendencies? |

What i wrote was based on the misunderstanding that 15p represented 1 stdev in the difference.
(which would be far less signifficant) |

| The 80% NVLD in AS statistic is disputed. There was a study that refuted that claim and showed the prevalence of NVLD in AS to be the same as in the general population. Also I read that NVLD occurs in about 1% of the population. Do you have the source for the 2.5% stat. I did a paper comparing AS a... |

| Again, what if there is a gap between VIQ and PIQ, but both are well above average? I would think the limit used is the same. Perhaps it should be different, but nobody has probably looked at it, as it is not so many children with high IQ among "problem children". I would also guess that if the poi... |

| Yeah it's confusing how AS and NVLD overlap. I do see the similarity between autism and AS....I just don't know how NVLD fits in or if it's just a similar condition. If prevalence for NVLD is around 2.5 %, AS is effectively a subgroup of NVLD while Most NVLD are not ASD. You can also see it as fema... |

| Is there a disorder for the opposite of NVLD IQ profile, PIQ > VIQ? There is some discussion on this in my other thread: Interpretation of high VIQ - PIQ difference - NVLD I think the opposite of NVLD would be more a right hemisphere dominated brain. AFAIK I know VIQ is more important in FIQ than i... |

| By definition, yes. No matter how high or how low a person's IQ, there should not be more than a 10-point difference between VIQ and PIQ. Obviously, the higher the IQ scores, the less a person will struggle, but they still will experience learning difficulties compared to their potential. The ficti... |

| Why is it viewed as "PIQ ought to be 155" instead of "VIQ ought to be 140"? I guess the low PIQ is the anomaly - AFAIK VIQ is more important, and therefore closer to FIQ. Relative high VIQ can lead to a dominant left brain - which can be a part of the problem though (AFAIK) Improved Question http:/... |

| What if someone has a 140 PIQ and 155 VIQ? This person still has NVLD, a learning disorder? By definition, yes.. If the point criteria is met by 15% of the population, it should mean that only 1/3 of those that "have NVLD". Depending on the diagnostic criteria you can imagine it makes some differen... |

| I didn't say that. If 68.2% is within, 31.8 % is outside, or 15.9% is on each side. Okay, I see what you meant now. But it still doesn't mean that people who qualify as having NVLD will necessarily have a PIQ score that is in that 15% below 100. If scores are above 100% you can't say that you have ... |

| The definition of NVLD as a neuropsychiatric condition was first described by Dr. Bryan Rourke. Statistically speaking, though, yes, the VIQ/PIQ split comes from standard deviation for the WAIS. 15 points is 1 standard deviation, and a 15-point difference between VIQ and PIQ (where VIQ is larger) i... |
