Episode 21 (year 4): New name and acronym for NVLD: Development Visual Spatial Disorder or DVSD and Chronic Pain, Hypermobility and Neurodivergence

Did you know that there is a link between neurodivergence and being hyperbolic? Have you heard of why NVLD isn’t in the DSM? And why is the name changing to DVSD or Development Visual Spatial Disorder? Why isn’t there one agreed upon definition for NVLD or DVSD? We’ll be exploring these topics today. The songs I referenced were "Walking Miracles" and "Do Something," by Matthew West.

Episode 18 (year 4): Inner Social Critic and NLD

Do you often have challenges with not questioning whether a social interaction went well or not because of your inner critic? Does your inner critic stop you from creating new relationships because you remember the last time you did that and how it turned out? Or maybe you’re hesitant to go deeper into an existing relationship because you like the status of it and don’t want to ruin it?

Episode 28 (year 3): NLD, My Chronic Illness Frustrations, and Close Calls with Car Accidents

Today's episode was an unscripted one because I got choked up after my dr's appointment. I'm so frustrated about not having easy answers about how to many my chronic migraine condition. I've had this for almost 9 years and it started when I was diagnosed with NLD. Please go to past episodes for more information on these topics if you would like more. Thank you for listening and being okay with being vulnerable with you I appreciate it. 

I'm sorry but I'll have to put the support group for neurodivergents on hold until I can work through some of my personal things.

Episode 13 (year 3): Body insecurities, NLD, and Sexual Abuse

Have you ever had body insecurities because of being sexually abused or having a learning challenge? Or because of both? For me, I would yes to the second question and add that it’s hard for me to lose weight because of my chronic migraine (sometimes episodic) condition. There are some reasons I can think of why NLD, sexual abuse, and chronic migraines make it harder for me to lose weight.

Episode 25 (year 2): NLD and Some Relief From My Chronic Pain

Today’s topic is going about relief from chronic pain and how it relates to NLD. Have you ever felt a certain part of your body was hit by a seismic 2by4? Or felt unexplainable or indescribable pain in that part of your body? Or maybe a tingling sensation in your head? Well for me with the chronic migraines that I’ve had for the past 8 years it’s been yes all 3 of those questions.
