I read a few studies that said that anywhere between 60 and 80% of people with AS meet the criteria for NVLD.

Anyone know anything else about this?

The research I read said 1/3. I have NLD, severe, and AS, moderate. I think many aspies are good visually and spatially. My AS BF is one of those. He is a chess master and champion.

People used to think that English was not my son's native language because he had a strong accent but his accent came from sounding out words in books and saying them rather than picking up words from hearing them.
