Dr. Byron
Rourke
This site is designed to explain my
perspectives regarding the syndrome of nonverbal learning disabilities
(NLD) and related matters. I felt it necessary to do so for the
following reasons: (1) I have encountered much misinformation
with respect to my views about NLD. So, I decided it would be well
to set the record straight; (2) I am often asked about literature
regarding NLD. So, another purpose of this site is to provide
references to such work; (3)There are a number of questions about NLD that
are posed to me quite often. The Questions and Answers section of
the site provides some responses to these queries. Hopefully, this
site will expand and evolve in ways that are of interest and helpful to
the concerned reader.

Disabilities and Turner Syndrome.

Online Asperger's Syndrome Information and
Support
As parents of children who are diagnosed with AS,
we understand how essential is it that families of children diagnosed with
Asperger Syndrome and related disorders, educators who teach children with
AS, professionals working with individuals diagnosed with
AS, and individuals with AS who are seeking support, have access to
information. Although recently reminded that there is no oasis
or paradise for those with Asperger Syndrome, we sincerely hope that
they, along with parents and professionals, will find a bit of shade
and support via the information presented and links available at this
site.
