Estimating Distances With NLD
Another challenge that NVLDers have is estimating distances between two objects. We have this issue because our visual-spatial perception is off and different neurotypicals’. Have you ever had challenges with approximating distance because you don’t have a good sense of how much space is between two objects? I’ve had this experience countless times in my life.
Driving with NLD and a Chronic MIgraine Condition
Today, we’ll discuss what it’s like to drive with NLD. Have you ever had a car accident that was caused because you couldn’t judge the space between you and the vehicle in front of you well? Did you get your driver’s license later than most teens or peers because of having a learning challenge? Did you feel like it took forever for you to learn how to drive because the car felt like it was separate from your body instead of an extension of it? I have experienced all of these challenges when driving with NLD and a chronic migraine condition.

Dating with NLD and Quirkiness of NLD
Today's episode is about dating with NLD and the quirkiness of NLD. I interviewed an individual with NLD, Tray, so the episode is longer. It was recorded in 3 parts so you can listen to each part in one sitting if you want to, or you can pause it and listen to it in many sittings. I recorded this with zoom and I didn't know how to edit it so please excuse the um, uhs, and other background noise. I hope you enjoy it.
