Science fiction writer Nalo Hopkinson describes her day-to-day life with a non-verbal learning disability. It's a challenge she claims makes for a good brain for a writer. It helps her imagination run wild.
I Have NLD too, and I identify with everything said!
I'm glad to this as resource, because not as good at verbalizing my struggles as she, this is my go to video recommendation, for people who want to understand me better, its quick, quirky, frank, without getting too technical.
Great discussion, Nalo! And the great thing is that these subtleties are often honored in your characters in your novels. Thanks for this. Happy creativity, Nalo! Thanks for sending us the link. And thanks to tvochannel for uploading this. -Carole
