Thanks eggplant, that game looks good.
In the meantime I was in touch with a local speech therapy place for re-evaluation. Hopefully the deficit is clear during the evaluation and we can work to resolve it!

That's what NVLD is.
My son is as verbal as can be, and a social butterfly, so nobody notices that his issues are verbal and social.
The game sequencing really helps with the brain putting things in the correct order/context.
From this list, the only things that didn't apply to him were fear of new situations and withdrawn/agoraphobic. He does have anxiety that plays itself up at bed time. And he has trouble keeping close friends (this part of keeping friends only started as a teen) even though he's a social butterfly.
Non-verbal Learning Disability (NLD or NVLD)
What is non-verbal learning disability (NLD or NVLD)?
Kids with NLD are very verbal, and may not have academic problems until they get into the upper grades in school. Often their biggest problem is with social skills.
What are the signs of NLD?
*Great vocabulary and verbal expression
*Excellent memory skills
*Attention to detail, but misses the big picture
*Trouble understanding reading
*Difficulty with math, especially word problems
*Poor abstract reasoning
*Physically awkward; poor coordination
*Messy and laborious handwriting
*Concrete thinking; taking things very literally
*Trouble with nonverbal communication, like body language, facial expression and tone of voice
*Poor social skills; difficulty making and keeping friends
*Fear of new situations
*Trouble adjusting to changes
*May be very naïve and lack common sense
*Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem
*May withdraw, becoming agoraphobic (abnormal fear of open spaces)

Thanks , I appreciate you taking the time to post. ..it still doesn't fit. He does not have great verbal expression, which is the first description. That is the issue here- verbal expression.
As for the rest, he is great in math, has the neatest handwriting, good coordination, no fear of new situations, etc . Of all the examples maybe he sometimes takes things literally.
I don't think this is it.
I would say expressive language and maybe a processing issue.

OP, is it that he can't remember the correct word so he is using a bunch of other words to get to the point?
Or is it more that he is rambling and doesn't know what detail are irrelevant and should be left out?
Those are different issues.
Or something different?
Would you be able to give an example of how he cant get to the point?

Slp here....it sounds like he would benefit from working on narrative development. He can be taught how to tell/retell events/ stories/narratives. Brady or story marker Grammer are good starting points.
