Nonverbal Learning Disability is a learning challenge that makes it more difficult for individuals to process nonverbal information. This includes understanding things like body language, facial expressions, tone of voice, social cues, hand signals, and other behaviors that make up the bulk of social interaction. NLD or NVLD also has physical challenges such as impaired fine motor skills and lower visual-spatial awareness. People with NLD can also process information more slowly which makes it difficult to do things like mental math, retain information, and think abstractly. Links for article ..read more

Have you ever been bullied physically or online because of being neurodivergent, a nerd, OCDer?  Or have you been name called, nicknamed or been the receiver of a slur? Or worse, are you your own bully because you think you are a burden to others? Today’s episode is inspired by some articles that I read recently and feelings that I’ve been wrestling or struggling with over my whole life since I was diagnosed as NVLDer, PTSDer, and chronic migraine warrior.  Links for articles: https://themighty.com/topic/disability/disability-slurs-you-may-not-know/ https://www.theatlantic ..read more

This episode as always is about my experiences and I try to weave in others from fellow neurodivergents. I’m not writing this in spite of my friends or to make them feel bad.
