Some experts argue that in certain cases, NVLD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be the same condition viewed from different perspectives. Behavior attributed to the high-functioning autism once known as Asperger’s Syndrome in particular bears similarities to NVLD but there are important differences. Specifically, while a child with either condition might have both excellent memorization skills and poor social skills, individuals with NVLD have particular difficulty taking in information from the visual environment, as well as trouble with math, which is often taught in a visual context. These processing difficulties are shared by some with ASD but not all. Still, some approaches used to help children with ASD can also help those with NVLD.
