  • join the NLD face book groups.!!

  • Does anyone here with NLVD have anger/anxiety/depression issues?

  • love - "call in procrastination, but thats like saying people in wheel chairs are too lazy to walk" How I wish more people understood that.

  • 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.

  • This woman is special as is all people with NLD :)

  • I agree with Devon. It actually provide a framework for all of us to relate to the world... we are all different.

  • i LOVE the way she explained this :)

  • this gives me inspiration!!! I to have Non-verbal learning disability :D thanks for posting..

  • I love her!

    I read "Brown Girl in the Ring" in middle school, and loved it! Now I know we are of related minds!

  • 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
