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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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