My son has the same difficulties you describe and if you look up

Nonverbal Learning Disorders it has many useful ways that have helped my

son. Also, the book Helping a Child with Nonverbal Learning Disorder or

Asperger's Syndrome that I picked up has loads of information and lists

that I scanned & printed out to help the teachers learn how he processes

information. We have approached all his difficulties as learning

differences. Just because it takes him longer to absorb written text

does not mean he doesn't comprehend once he has had the time to process

it. As far as instructions given, yes my son needs to hear one thing at

a time. He has a IEP which among other things allows him to have more

time on tests and quizzes. His homeroom teacher also understood that my

son would " shut down " at tasks he deemed impossible or irrelevent and

gives him an extra day to finish without penalty.
