- What do we mean by the term nonverbal learning disabilities (NVLD or NLD)? What are the unique characteristics of individuals whose challenges in learning, attention and behavior are captured by this not-so-well-know and sometimes controversial disorder? View this video to learn more and visit the www.LD.org website for detailed information about LD and more.

I have NLD and completely agree. As I've gotten older my social skills have improved as has my critical and abstract thinking. I think it's all about getting the right education and learning how to use your strengths.
Few will ever understand the degree in which we suffer.
Luke B I know :( we are overlooked because we don’t have “enough” disability because we use our strengths to compensate for our weaknesses yet we are ridiculed because we are “weird”...it’s infuriating that NLD is not recognized in DSM-V as its own disability.
Try having a Receptive Processing Disorder. No one - and I do mean NO ONE cares to hear about it and refuse to help. They all figure that they comprehend and get things done that so can we. If that were true, why are we struggling to understand the "simplest little things"? I have to fill out a Disability Update Report and send in to continue getting benefits, including access to doctor appointments, meds, bills paid... I am spending 16 hours each day and night trying figure it out and I just can't do it. So, when I ask for help, NOPE! Not their problem. "You have to do things for yourself. I thrive on that. But way too many times, I get really angry, trying to and no one wants to help. So, what am I going to do? I'll just have to lose everything.
@@VanDowall What is a receptive processing disorder? Not being rude, genuinely curious. At any rate, I'm so sorry this has been your experience. People with NLD often face similar struggles.
@@emmahente5061 It sucks. Being a people person who longs for human connection but doesn't know how to socialize is pure hell sometimes.
@@anwensu4381, I don't understand how I would think that was rude; if you want to know something, you ask.
And I'm glad you cared to ask. A receptive processing disorder is like a TV set: the reception is either clear,
so you can make out what's on the screen and you understand what you're seeing. If you cannot get a clear
reception, you don't know what you're getting. I have a hard time with receptions, so it's difficult to process
(understand) what is said, written, drawn and demonstrated.
I have a nonverbal learning disability and every day is a nightmare. I come from a family that believes in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and the level of frustration and disappointment from them towards me hurts more than they can ever know.
everyday is a nightmare. literally didn't have to say anything more than that and i'd agree with you.
Dude Im so sorry man. If you ever need a friend dude feel free to message me bro. I feel your pain dude, its a rough journey. A relationship with Jesus healed me though dude. I dont know how to explain it. But now I have motivation and a purpose for my life I did not have before. Its just faith bro, if youre interested, if not man I understand. Romans 10:9-13.

J'ai un syndrome de dysfonction non verbal et j'en souffre énormément!!
I feel you!!! I hope it gets better for you. Having a learning disability isn't fun, and it seems as if nobody understands.
To those who made this video, I would say it's pretty spot-on, but realize that some of our biggest problems (even with the social deficits) are our organizational deficits and poor time perception. Especially the way those last two couple together: it makes it impossible to plan out the day or even gage how long it will take to complete one task, let alone schedule an entire day.
Oh no it's part of that? Dang it.
I have been working with using pomodoro technique to get a better understanding of how many half hour sessions are needed to do x task if it is long.
If it is a shorter task, then it is worth doing tracking of at least 3 times of doing the thing and see what is needed on average to get the results you want (quality of work done).
So half way done dishes put away is maybe 7 minutes, but with dishes put away, stove cleared, and sink emptied into dishwasher as well and counter cleaned too, that might take half hour to do in a sustainable way with chronic pain. Or longer with different interferences of life. High pain, maybe a whole day to do all of that. Low pain and pacing self to not overdo things, then 30 minutes minimum, rushing and overdoing things then 15 minutes but following that will be a recovery cycle of 3 days of bed rest for whatever else is added to the routine to be rushed through.
Sustaining levels are slower in the moment but not overall
That is ADHD. If you have both, you need treatment for both. Misattributing ADHD to comorbidities means you can't get medication for it.
I had this, but was never diagnosed as a kid. The thing is, there's so little help for LDs like these that few people know about. Even if you do get a diagnosis, it means little. It doesn't mean that the schools, jobs, or even your own family will do anything to try and understand it and adjust things so that you can actually succeed within your natural capabilities. They just blink real hard a few times, and move on. On one hand, I'm glad to know this about myself, but I'm also feeling like it doesn't mean much when the only people that try to understand are a handful of professionals that can only work within their own narrow parameters. If you try to get a job that will modify their training to help you understand, you find that they meet that kind of idea with hostility. They see you as just wanting someone to hold your hand. In fact, if I had the chance to make up a colloquial name for NVLD, it would be, "the no one wants to hold your hand disorder." People just don't care to see that it's not about hand holding, it's about filling in the missing pieces of communique that I can't find for myself.
NVLD is often a sort of autism IMO. People with pure NVLD are not socially inept so much and are not "creepy". I think that many individuals with pervasive developmental disorder are misdiagnosed as having just nonverbal learning disability.
who else got this?????!!! I DO
Chris Rock does
I've been diagnosed with NLD when I was a little kid. I knew what it was about but I never really knew what it really was. So I have been doing some research about the disability and I relate to almost everything especially the social/ emotional part. I was bullied when I was 12 because I changed school and I had a very low self-esteem. Being bullied made me feel insecure and now I've a lot of anxiety attacks. People laughed at me because I sucked at math and I never knew what to do or how to react to it. It's really interesting to see all the aspects on a paper and compare it to my situation. I changed schools so much that I learned how to interact with people it's still hard but now I've found my way. I wish I had more friends but the hardest part is to keep the friends you made. There are a lot of good aspects too for example my handwriting sucks so I never write when someone needs to write in a group, I'm very creative and I love to make stories and write them down also I'm good at playing music. I'm very happy now that I know where most of my problems come from but it doesn't mean that I don't have anxiety anymore or that I care way to much what people think of me. I wish I had more support from my family because as a kid they helped me through a lot but when I became a teenager they thought I was old enough to do it by myself but I couldn't.
Anyways I just wanted to write that down and it seems like a good place to talk about it :) maybe it helped you x
Also we nld-ers think wayyyyyy too much
Honestly, the friend thing was a struggle for me until I joined my church group. Most Churches are very accepting of you as your natural self. Also, a relationship with Jesus really helped me with my mental peace, and my confidence, and gave me someone to talk to. (Romans 10:9-13, in the Bible if youre interested).
It is not possible to think too much.
Lonely Lucy- I have the same exact thing. Everything on that very lenghty list. I am conflicted,because of course I believe in God, but I don't want to be a burden on Society, or the two family members that speak to me. I am not afraid to die. i welcome it. Emotional pain is the worst, and is undescribable. I am not advocating it, but given my age, and it does after a certain point, worsen with age. I just want to be put down.
Lonely Lucy, it's always great to talk about your feelings... Your personal experience may help other parents in understanding of their child's situation better.
Lonely Lucy sounds like me and I’m so so sorry you were bullied. The most difficult part, at least for me, is that I’m 33 years old and still trying to get a definitive diagnosis of what all is wrong with me. I am learning what’s wrong with me through videos and I think god for this man because the way he explains things are at a level one with our issues not only understand but really relate to. I’m glad you’re much happier now and I’m looking for not just answers but happiness as well.
I love how the comment section is full of people that also have NVLD which means they are very articulate. It is truly comforting to see a bunch of people that can ACTUALLY form a sentence in the UA-cam comment section from time to time.
Love to see this disability getting more awareness! I have it and most people don't know what it is, don't think it is real/exists, or they ask me why do I have a disability because I look normal. I wish there was someone to have a way to get more awareness out there. I would support it with a percentage of the funds from my crafting business!
As a parent of a child with NVLD, I thought this was a good, thoughtful introduction to the disorder. Factual and accurate. Thanks!
Who else is here because of Chris Rock?
By definition, NLD-sufferers are literal thinkers, hence also concrete thinkers that have difficulty with abstraction and improvisation into new situations. That's kind of the core asset of the disorder. I'm an adult who got hit with NLD at the age of 25, and I at least know that much from the literature.
My stupid school said i had adhd when i was younger. When i was 15(im 16 now) they diagnosed me with nld and that made me feel much better
This really helped me understand my condition
Getting tested and diagnosed with a nonverbal LD has been one of the single most important accomplishment of my young adult life. So many things about my childhood, adolescence and academic career totally made sense following the diagnosis and learning about how my brain works. I love my brain and I would love to be more in touch with others who operate in similar ways or who deal with similar conditions.
My grandson was recently diagnosed with speech aphasia, and I am searching for information.
I was diagnosed with NVLD when i was very young, elementary school. Just now excepted it. This is a very painful struggle for me. I'm so glad i found others who might understand.
I have NLD its a pain in the ass but with a LOT of work a good chunk of these things can be "fixed" facial recognition. I taught myself to pick up social cues things like hand eye coordination. In young kids it can be hell the social cues are just like being color blind I feel for kids who have to live with this
I have suppressed some of the NVLD in my life and mostly counted myself as weird. I am glad that I watched this and I really resonate with the view. This very well helps me understand myself now and others that I work with. Thank you
It was a real piss off for me as a kid because of the fact that I was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. My parents were told I had add and NVLD as a young child. My physique differences caused me a lot of distress as a kid as I was made fun of almost daily.My parents always instilled confidence in me, but never pulled me from the classes or schools I was being bullied at, until I reached the 10th grade and threatened them to drop out of school if they didn't change where I went to school.
I then learned to cope by avoiding people and would only tend to cling to people who were in their own mental distress because I felt like they wouldn't judge me. No matter what school I was at growing up, my outer appearance was always judged firstly. I never got to make real close bonds with children who were healthy mentally and felt like I was always over looked and just medicated for ADD, which it turns out I don't have. I later in my twenties found out the reason I couldn't focus was because I needed glasses for a stigmatizm. I would get nauseous when I had to try to focus on anything up close for long periods of time. So I would always be looking up to try to get the sick feeling to go away. I only have a few things off of this list but, because I was diagnosed with this, my family treated me as though my opinion was not really valid, I was never heard out properly and that got me very depressed and angry inside and resented the people who diagnosed me. Also anytime I would go for a new assessment, I would mess around as a kid and not take it seriously because no matter what I did, they were NOT listening to me. My mother was the only one who took me seriously. Because my dad never listened I never had full trust in him. He really messed me up emotionally not ever trying to understand me as a person. If I would use the wrong words in a sentence he would just go with what I said and take it as I was just talking nonsense and get made and shut me up and end the conversation. Never did he try to ask me if I meant something else. He would just take offense to everything and never try to get to the bottom of what I was trying to say. I am bad at math but, everything else in this list I don't have other then sometimes using the wrong words in a sentence. I am very good at reading people but am scarred from a careless and senseless diagnosis! Thank you America for putting me and others in a box to try to explain the in-explainable. Sometimes we just have difficulties in certain areas, and don't fall into a certain category!
God is not fair in our eyes, that's for sure!
Thank you so much for this. I was diagnosed at 15 years old. I am now 55 years old. It is a struggle everyday, but this is so helpful.
Amy, Bless your heart. it's an isolating disease, has yours gotten more debilitating?
Not being able to speak as 'the others' happens to be as painful for me as if I hadn't any kind of spoken hability, it has being like living hell on earth, I'm not able to get spoken language in a social way, I can read and speak, but I'm not capable to blend, to mix up with others, it is frustrating, I feel overwhelmed on other ones emotions and found myself struggling on camuflagin my feelings on being part of the crew, to fit in, I feel it is out of my kind being 'a people's person'.
I’ve never met another person with NVLD and it’s the hardest thing to deal with
My brother is non-verbal. He has been diagnosed with it since he was born. He has to communicate with me and my mom with his body language and also has to use a communication device. I suggest anyone who has children that are non-verbal and uses a communication device, you should download the app "LAMP". It is a very helpful app and it really helps children to communicate with their peers at school or at home.
Non-verbal and non-verbal learning disability are 2 VERY different things.
Non-verbal learning disability means that our learning disability excludes the verbal parts.
10 years later. This video is still helping me for my exams. GREAT work sir
I came here because Asperger's In Girls didn't seem quite right, despite my diagnosis.
Christopher Powell my son was diagnosed at the age of 4years 10 months old. He has known for a very long time and was not hit at the of age 25. My son and I have read everything Dr. Rourke has put out. His book left NLD-ers with little hope. It is what you live and suffer that makes you the expert. I am a cancer survivor. It was self determination that has made me want to live beyond what is marked on my chart.
I too have NLD was dignosed with it when I was 10yrs old so this helps a lot!!!
From anyone's experience- what kinds of jobs are a good for for people with NLD?
Julia that’s a question I want to know actually
I think the best idea is to hire an ENFP (Meyers Briggs personality) to help you set your goals and to help you accomplish your goals. This personality is patient and very good in social situations and loves to help. They have a really good handle on the big picture. The most powerful aspect is recognizing your strengths and weaknesses and working on them. Baby steps. Take a weakness and break it up into smaller pieces and work through each one at a time. If this is too hard have your ENFP or friends help. Be honest with people you meet about your struggles. Everyone has something they struggle with.
Did this used to be classified under Cognitive Learning Disability? All of what you are saying so far in the beginning of this video is so very true. I was diagnosed back in the 1980's under Cognitive Learning Disability.
Good reading comprehension? I thought reading comprehension was poor with NVLD.
He clearly doesn't have an LD. He's just saying what he read in a teacher/doctor book for disabilities. That is so unreliable! I read and have no clue what it said. I can hear someone saying the same words. Nothing helps. What do we need? Shadow puppets to demonstrate and act out what they mean? I am drained out from trying -- and constantly failing.
Quiet. Sorry to generalize, but you sound like more a part of the problem for we NLD-ers than the solution, since anyone who thinks political affiliation indicates competence is delusional on a staggeringly ignorant level. Lose the caps, and learn online etiquette before spouting whatever political nonsense you're going on about. Seriously, those caps are an eyesore. That's not how you emphasize a word online. You typically either italicize it or do *this*, though not as often. So, stop.
I have this condition. What causes Non Verbal Learning Disability? Also what kind of jobs can people get with this type of disability?
The expert on NONVERBAL LEARNING DISABILITY is the person with the disorder. You no longer have to think of yourself as disable when you compare and contrast yourself to people with INTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS. From this day moving FORWARD people who have been stigmatized will be viewed as people with extraordinary minds, unique abilities, and multi-level learning styles. GOOGLE NLD RECOGNITION. NLD MOM/cancer survivor
I just wish NVLD was diagnosed back in the 1960s, it would have helped my brother lead a happier and more successful life than he currently has. 😢
I have this but I can form sentences and paragraphs just fine it's just the format of essays I can't understand. I can ride bikes, skip, jump, catch, and hop. I don't have trouble making friends, and sometimes I have self-esteem issues but usually I'm pretty happy. I have anxiety but I can protect myself just fine, and facial expression I'm pretty good with. Middle school, I loved it. It's really only the math that I'm terrible at and some perception stuff.
me too.. Hey non language learning disorder that is the same thing as nvld right?
I have this too. I have learned with essays to write a bunch of stuff related to the topic and then sew it all together at the end into a structure that makes sense. So basically I spend huge amounts of time making notes on reading, then I regurgitate what I think is important on paper and re-organise this to make sense in the structure of an essay once I am done!
Hi 😊👋, i relate to everything you said😊. But then i also have adhd on top of this. Lol. Im just beginning to work all this out. Im finding there's not a lot of people in the world like me, which is disheartening. But im also finding that i have found a few. Or rather they have found me 🙏👏👏. Im so grateful to have found out about this and have the missing pieces to my self puzzle explained😊.
@@zXJulianXz ahhh , thats a really good tip! 👏 ty. I have thought of this once but never actually tried to see if it worked🙏😊
Are those y'alls actual photos? 😊? Y'all look like models 😊
Can this be overlap with dispraxia? And is NVLD can be diagnosed in Sensory Processing Disorder? I need to find out what ny daughter is facing now.. Because she is on diagnosis of dispraxia and SPD but she talks all the time.. I am still unsure with the dispraxia diagnosis on her.
I just recently heard about NVLD and I'm quite certain I have it.
This video and other NVLD descriptions is like watching someone narrating my childhood.
However I don't relate to all of it - it's mainly the academical part.
I was great at basic math until I stumbled upon advanced math in high school.
Rote learning seems to be the only way I can learn. But this becomes an enormous issue in environments where the problems aren't always similar.
I don't have issues with sarcasm detection. If it's a familiar setting then I tend to be able to read others expressions better than most.
I guess I've really practiced on this part?
I also didn't find it particularly difficult learning how to ride a bike or swimming. I'm pretty fast. I was the best at table tennis at my school.
However I suck at stuff that requires precision, steady hands, spatial intelligence, planning in advance.
I suck at driving in unfamiliar roads, or following driving instructions. I have a hard time following instructions period.
Visual directions in space???
I have a nonverbal learning disability, so this explained a lot. thanks :)
I have a question to ask you. Having NLD has made my self-esteem drop down so low. Having a LD in general because I feel I am inferior to others. I know this isn't true, but do you have any advice?
Take comfort in the things you are good at. Try new things as often as you feel you can handle it. Try talking to people that you know and trust more. Along with breathing exercises that should help lower your anxiety levels. Also, find something that you deeply passionate about. And if you need friends, the Internet could be a good place. Just be careful, as there's some creeps out there. Don't talk with them if they ask you for money, too much personal information, etc. or if they don't care about your needs and thoughts. Hope this helps
It does. Thanks
I recently just got diagnosed and honestly I’ve never heard of it until now, I’m glad I found this video so I can better inform myself about what I got diagnosed with.
Where do you go to even get diagnosed
All the videos from LD are structurally easy to understand with the narrator guiding you touching upon just the right amount of information. I hope all parents or caretakers who home school take time to watch each video LD publishes, watching all is important because of the similar or the overlap of symptoms, they guide you in an informed direction,testing is so readily available. Parents often don't want to think their child has a disability, but believe me, your child wants to know
"here are all the things wrong with an individual who has nvld" lol
It's a depressing list, and when you feel cornered, like your boss is going let you have it, you explain those deficits, which is the WORST thing you could ever do!!!!!!!!!! TRUST me on that point alone. You MUST remain in the closet, only gay people are allowed to come out. if you have deficits on this list, i hope you're beautiful,and can sing like Whitney Houston, if not you're toast. The System is rigged against us. We are 1% and nobody cares about hte afflicted aging adults with this.
Kathryn Briley like anything else in life NVLD exists on a spectrum from mild to severe.
@@kathrynbriley4299 yes. Daunting and depressing
@@kathrynbriley4299 Your ancient comment was far more depressing.
"Great Job" ;) as experts don't always get it right. those with NLD *rarely* have concrete thinking & lack of street smarts. it's those with Asperger's who do. AS and NLD symptoms can overlap; but these two don't. in fact, people with NLD often have superior abilities in these areas. if you or a loved one have such symptoms, get evaluated for AS. then please come back and report your Dr's findings. btw, i'm an adult with NLD and have been a member of a forum for adults with NLD for years.
Just don't get old
I agree! I have NVLD and am a city kid and I am VERY aware of my surroundings. Yeah, I may get in others ways, but it’s the city. I’m well aware when there are cars coming, when there’s someone suspicious near by etc. Also people with NVLD can sometimes be quite thoughtful in the choices they make, it just may take a little bit longer than everyone else.
This is me. This is exactly what has been going on with me all my life. Thank you!
PockASqueeno Here's an explanation of my disorder... well, one of them. ha
OMG I literally have this. I sucked at math (word problems) but was good at algebra and up which just involved equations. But theoretical physics sucked for me cause I could never picture what was happening. I suck at all things coordination - choreographed dance, riding a bike, was horrible at gym. I find that writing and verbal expression helps me process my thoughts. I recently realized that I'm terrible when it comes to spatial awareness/judgement which affects cooking, driving, and sometimes routine things. Wow. THANK YOU!
my 12 year old daughter has been diagnosed with NVLD. I need help in making sure that she grows up strong, confident and happy. any suggestions on how I can help her.
My 14 year old has it. I suggest therapy with a psychologist, school accommodations, occupational therapy and/or tutoring. 💕
My daughter who is 7 has Language Disorder and now her school thinks she has a learning issue as well. Her reading level jumped up to '17' in the grade 2(BC reading guidelines) home reading class program. Her math and Spelling/plus other mental based subjects are weak. She doesn't know how to ride a bike as well. I taught her but she didn't enjoy it when the wheels came off. We don't get letter grades till 4th grade at her school. I'm concerned about HS and what will happen to her confidence if she fail a course. She wouldn't want to go. The HS here got rid of Letter grades for Gr.8-10. They require students to learn independence and use lockers. 😂
My auditory memory is terrible. In fact, it's getting worse as I've gotten older. Also I'm great at handwriting - Writing and English were my strong suit in school as a kid. So I guess I don't have NLD? A Psychiatrist diagnosed me with it when I was 11. Confusing.
I think he meant the actual act of writing because of poor fine motor skills.
You know what a non-verbal disability is? I'm suffering from a rare LD and no one wants to hear about it: non-verbal. I'm done!
do poeple still use NVLD in the medical world? it's not widely talked about where im from, that i know of at least.
they do, but it's an LD that flies under the radar because there are so many other more widely diagnosed disorders that end up masking it
I think I may have this. After a lifetime of struggling with learning problems and this seems to reflect what I have difficulty with. I was given an educational psychologist assessment, and I had far above average verbal ability and a vocabulary. Everything else, including maths, was below average and something I always struggled with. I also really struggled with learning to drive and got shouted at by my driving instructor. I could pass theory but not practical.
Hey there mister from the LD video site! have you ever spoken with an NLD who sing his song like the brain does? Who does not alter conform and stretch the words like the others, to make them understand their way?
I just recently learned to sing my inner song in my writing instead of altering it for others, I dont know if non NLD:ers undertstand the truth and all of it but I will never stop again to be me.
Just wondering tondering and asking pasking to see if you've seen or heard before?
I think my child may have this disability, but the only difference is that he is excellent at math. Its his strongest area even with word problems.?
Everything is a spectrum. Your child may have it and still be good in math.
This is quite dumb, I dont show all the Signs of NVLD but i do show a few of them. The most obvious one is my poor handwriting slight social awkwardness and emotional problems like anxiety. This scares me i have been searching online for successful adults or people with NVLD and all i find i sob stories. All i find on the web is people in their 50s who failed their whole life because of NVLD. I dont want to be that person.
Think about it this way: The only reason you see only those failed adults on the internet is because the ones who are successful are out there doing big things in the world instead of complaining about their disability online.
great comment.
You have no idea what a learning disability is. People who think the way you do assume we can do things that we are struggling with. We're not getting any help with it, so don't judge!
As a note to it all I want to clear out and say that I dont mean it is not okay to change your voice at certain times! There is always need to make sense and be together with others but it should never be of the expense of the self, it should be in the knowing of the change in the present time it happens!
I had a fear of "drawing" and art class and drawing projects during my whole school life, id get stressed out if i got a drawing project, or get mad when they assigned it, like "why are they making me draw, its not something you need for life"
I never understood that my friends liked drawing and liked those projects :( but they didnt understand that i couldnt draw or even understand drawings either
To everyone who is in the field of how everyone who knows how to make encouragement words forward to make sure that anyone is allowed to understand each disability rights to make everything well-known.

Show me a dyslexic brain. Show me the cells, molecules and Adam’s in my body that mean I MUST be segregated from society!
I have Adhd and was Diagnosed NVL last year my whole life I couldn't pick up math and I never can understand it
I am with you here my friend, the concreteness is not a part of the self in me! It is a song that I am, the thinking of my brain is a song neverending!
i need help sone one help me pls
What kind of help do you need?
I am 15 and was just diagnosed with a nonverbal processing disorder.
I hurt for you, but you have an advantage, you know at such a young age! I was diagnosed at 39! I never wanted any kind of trouble, and I had to work so hard socially to get through the day, and when the evening came, I didn't have the energy to do my homework. People say to be positive, but it;s negative affliction, especailly when you're old, ugly, and no talent, and you're the butt of all the jokes. it's tiresome.
The spacial stuff's a real problem, and I have ocd which also affects it, it's a wonder I can drive at all.
This sounds a lot like mild autism. Is there some overlap?
Just shared a video to my channel about growing up with this disorder and then UA-cam suggested this video to me! Thank you for putting this information out there. It would be an honor if you reacted to my video.
I wrote a children's book about this. I will check out your video. 💕
@@authorkacychambers1146 what’s the name of the book and where can I find it? I would love to purchase a copy
So slapping somebody with this disorder is just as bad as making fun of somebody with Alopecia. Got it.
"Keep my wife's name out your #### mouth! She has a disability!"
"I will, and yet I also have a disability."

What an ironic world we live in. Everybody it seems has some disorder.
They also make for wonderful friends!
Great video!!!!👍👍👍☺️☺️☺️💜💚💙💝💛💗
Man ever since I we to public school they put me into smaller classes and kids with learning disabilities. All I know is that I have a learning disability but never asked what it was, so I don't know what mine is. I'm assuming I'm the Emotional one?

I have NonVerbal Learning
Why would someone say "great job" if they meant the opposite; that makes no sense.
That said, these videos are most interesting; I had no idea I've anon verbal learning disorder. It took until his 11th year in school for anyone to catch on that my very intelligent son struggled much in school because of a learning (processing) disorder. Just like me, he too struggled with pretty much all described herein...who knew...
I was looking for resources after recently being diagnosed and I found this informative and helpful for someone that does not know about this other than the personal experience. Thanks so much, lovely job.
OK I have nonverbal learning disorder this does not apply to everybody I can be very streetsmart I’ve learned to read between the lines sometimes yes it’s hard but it’s not impossible and I’m good at solving word probleams But I’m 24 and I learned that stuff but I was always Emotionaly smart but I believe a lot of people with this disability have bigger emotions than most people and math is Definetly hard
Interesting. However, Mathematical word problems should not be a problem if they are highly verbal with comprehension. Where does being poor with spelling come into this.
I've also read that sensory processing weakness is common with NVLD and that Rourke, who provided us the label, would give talks and then step aside for an OT to speak to that aspect though not everyone includes in often adds math weakness instead. So maybe SPD is the same with NVLD as ASD, more comorbid than characteristic.
Um, I hit almost 100% of these things. My Handwriting is nice but it took me a lot of overtime practice. I am Ocd about learning, mostly because I wanted to keep up in certain areas. I would spend hours longer on learning certain things. The teachers always had to give me extra time taking tests because comprehending word problems was a rough task. I played tennis, I worked on my coordination and distance extra as well.
I want to send a special SHOUT OUT to JESPER MARTENSSON for visiting NLD RECOGNITION. I hope this turns your life around. So what if I am DEMOCRAT. You may be a REPUBLICAN or LIBERTARIAN. The people on the FLIP SIDE OF THE CHART do not wish to fail. I have taken it to a new level and have shown how our highest government officials FOCKED UP INTENTIONALLY. Who are the ones that get a jail cell, an unproductive program, and medicated to death? YOU GUESS IT! NLD MOM/cancer survivor
Thanks for this video❣ I wrote a children's book about Nonverbal Learning Disability that I would love to send to you.
Does anyone know why this is 'sometimes controversial' ?
A lot of psychologists believe it's just high functioning autism.
Ig i should add this to my "what i might have" list
Outstanding vedio series I liked it allot but plz the writing on white board is not seen clearly plz improve that thanks
I would really appreciate a comparison between NVLD and SPCD.
I thankfully was into metaphors and poetry so I am good at reading the great jobs of the world!!
When I want to learn some topics then after allot of struggling I can learn that what should I do plz help me thanks on coordination.
So Sheldon actually grew up
I never wanted to be diagnosed with what I have but I have learned a lot from my disease. It would be very difficult for you to tell me I am not the expert when it is my life and my days that have been shorten. The same goes for your life even though you were diagnosed at a later date. I understand why you don't understand. I am only comparing behaviors of what is the norm vs what is not. NLD MOM/cancer survivor
So my physiatrist said that this is what I am but I think most of it is not me. I only have few of these traits. What?
I was tested for ADHD when I was a senior in high school, but this is the diagnosis I ended up getting, due to my hydrocephalus.
Speaking of attention to detail, "spatial" is spelled incorrectly. Sorry, couldn't resist. :) While I don't know what the hell Linda is blathering on about down there, but she's annoying me. (I thought we've already got past that stupid myth that both Republicans and Democrats have no individual meaning in our political system? That both parties are inept, and the individual representing either party is the *only* factor?) Also, lose the caps. You seriously lack articulation or intuition.
Seriously, what are you talking about? How are people with NLD "experts" on their own condition any more than someone with mental retardation, paraplegia, or schizophrenia is about theirs? How is that an analogy? I suggest reading Rourke's essential papers on NLD before saying anything about it and, if you have, learn some articulation, because what you're saying is nonsensical.
I was diagnosed with nld as a kid though I haven't been rediagnosed with it as an adult. I've always been a little confused about it because I can't find much information on it.
Is this a form of autism?
It depends on the psychologist that you ask. Some believe it is and others do not.
I was diagnosed as 'Developmentally Delayed' before I started kindergarten. I was nonverbal with everyone, except my mom. I would make gibberish sounds and push or pull her to get what I needed/wanted. Our family doctor told my mom to make eye contact with me and put my hand on her face and throat. Then say the words she wanted to teach me and make me repeat after her. I had a very hard time grssping what she was trying to do. So, our doctor her to make a game out it. For example, if I wanted a doll to play with, I had to say "doll". Then she gave it to me. I understood most of what was said, but I wasn't speaking English.
I have just started watching videos on 'Asperger Syndrome'. I identity with NVLD from my childhood through my young adult life. Now, I identify more with Aspergers. Is it possible to have both at the same time or one transition into the other? I would really appreciate a reply.
I believe Nonverbal Learning Disability is just autism. It's just a diagnosis doctors give you when they don't want to diagnose you with autism.
I definitely have a terrible time with directions
jesus, i think i have this
well done! thank you!
