Using Mental Math with NLD: Now vs. Life Applications

Growing up, math was a constant challenge for me, and I often needed multiple tutors to help with homework—sometimes three in a single day. While overwhelming at times, their support eased my frustration and tears. It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with NLD at 19 in college that I finally understood why math had been so difficult.

Ghosting for NLDers and Neurotypicals

Today’s episode is going to be about the effects of being ghosted by friends and people that both neurotypicals (NTs) and NVLDers have experienced. I want to talk about how ghosting relates to NTs and NVLDers today. It happens more to NVLDers because of not being able to read social cues, being more naive and innocent. Also having an issue with believing that anyone will have any reason to hurt you. I will share my experiences of being ghosted and have some friends both NTs and NVLDers share their own experiences.
