    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.

  • @Steamaddict1603

    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 ADD i didnt know it until i was in high school but i did get tested when i was 3 or 4 t the problem is with i dont understand very much all i get form this is my brain doesn't work right

  • 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

  • I go to her school
