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.

And even more so when you realize the mess you made and and have to put everything back where it belonged. I can think of many times when this happened to myself.
