honey, it doesn't go away. It's a forever thing. You're very lucky you got diagnosed early though. I graduated from highschool (Honers :D) in 07 and still VERY MUCH have it. I've over come a lot but it does not go away.

@alterbridgefan99 Yeah, but once you get out of school it goes away so I'm told. My teacher caught it and I was diagnosed when I was in the 5th grade but my school had no clue how to teach me. Luckly my high school knows what I have and they treat me very well over there plus it's vocational education which you can't go wrong with.

isn't it so frustrating?!?! My councler actually suspected something. My teachers didn't say one single thing.

@alterbridgefan99 I was lucky because I had a teacher who caught my NLD at an early age. Your right when you said that the teachers didn't know how to teach you. I have a teacher now well, she's a chef at the vocational school that I go to and she has no idea how to handle me. Pepople need to be educated more on what people like us have. I agree, false advertising.

I was diagnosed with NLD my freshman year in high school. Before my diagnosis I felt SO STUPID cause I didn't know how to learn and my special ed teachers didn't know how to teach me cause they've never heard of it. I still feel really stupid sometimes, but I've over come a lot. And...wtf, she didn't talk about NLD at all! False advertising lol

I'm glad I got to see Dr. Stewart on Youtube :)
-
why didn't the interviewer ask about asperger's rather than NLD???
that's what her book is about!!!!
-
@redeemer1kamili I have NLD, &, in my experience, had to be taught the meaning of cues & to decipher the different facial expressions, vocal tones, & physical/body language cues. Also, the disorder makes it hard to differentiate between literal & figuritive language; in college, this causes academic & testing problems for me since I would misinterpret the directions even though I know the material well. I act 'normal'- whatever the hell that may be- & see everything in black&white
