Maybe I'm missing something but I think the nonverbal means that the child's disability is nonverbal in nature; in other words the child is verbal (i.e., the problem is not a verbal one) which is why the mercury poisoning is missed in the early years. If the child did not talk, the problem would be obvious. Many HFA kids are first diagnosed when language fails to develop -- but if the language develops, the rest can be written off as quikiness until the higher level of thinking is required. The rest is a dead give away for heavy metal toxicity with a viral kicker.

Individuals with this potentially debilitating disorder generally suffer in silence. They are often bright, sometimes incredibly so. As young children they may actually be targeted as gifted, due to their mature vocabulary, rote memory skills, and apparent reading ability.How can you be nonverbal & have a "mature vocabulary" Am I missing something?jbb>> Hey everyone check this out.
