Rush Neurobehavioral Center (RNBC) Keeping Hope Alive

[shootingstar24]

Boy, do I understand what Trip went through. I grew up not knowing I had NLD, yet experiencing a lot of the difficulties associated with it. I didn't understand how I could do well in school, yet struggled so much with jobs. I didn't finally get diagnosed until I was 25.

nldthoughtsandfeelings is a forum on the web that provides support to people with NLD

I was told that I fall into the NVLD category, though I am confused by this diagnosis. I have a large verbal/performance split, but I DON'T have some of the other major issues that NVLD people often do: i.e., I don't have social problems, I am coordinated/athletic. If anyone else fits this profile, I would love to talk!

I 110% fit your profile!

I don't understand how I was diagnosed with NVLD because I have great social skills and I pick up on social cues and I am not un-coordinated!

Yes, someday I think they might find another category for people like us. Or, perhaps, we just lie somewhere on the spectrum. Anyways, it's not a fun disability to have, quite debilitating once you graduate school and life responsibilities shoot up.

at least there is hope for someone like me who has nld. is there centers similar to this in or near calgary, alberta canada that deals with both adults and kids? right now i feel lonely because most of what i found in my area deals with kids who have nld, not adults like me.

Are there any centers in South Florida?

This helps me to know my son is not alone. He is 12 years old and was just diagnosed with NLD he has never had a friend. Do you know of any centers in the Seattle area, we will be moving there in three months. Thanks

I have non verbal learning disorder. I find that it is a misunderstood disability so thanks this has truly has told me that I am not alone

my son was diagnosed with nld but i was told he is "deffinately on the autism spectrum under pdd-nos." do you know what that means? i thought that the pervasive developmental disorder - not otherwise specified was a diagnosis in itself? tnx

It is a diagnosis in itself however the diagnosis is one of several diagnosies we call "Autistic Spectrum Disorders"
