Does anyone know what a non-verbal disability is?

In all fairness, I didn't. I actually got it backwards. My son is autistic so I was looking into other disabilities and effects sign language has on children. Anyway, I somehow pulled up an article stating non-verbal disability was where a child could not talk. I'm not sure if that's a verbal disability or a non-verbal "issue" but it's not a non-verbal disability. After reading the article, explaining how children don't talk and the article was extremely vague and general, I decided to go to the official non-verbal disability association website. Boy was I shocked. Guess what non-verbal disability is? The child actually speaks. I'm thinking this would be better than what my son has. The child not only speaks but he or she develops speech and vocab. early. I won't go into the whole disability but WHAT DO YOU THINK NON-VERBAL DISABILITY IS? If you have autistic kids or a non-verbal disability child, your answer doesn't count. LOL
