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.

Have you ever been bullied physically or online because of being neurodivergent as a nerd or OCD er. 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?

So have you ever thought you lost something that was very was really valuable, precious, or meaningful to you. If so, I hope you were able to find it when you least expected it. When you are trying to find it, do you tend to tear the room apart looking for it and then get frustrated when you don't find it? 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.

I want to talk today about being more than the labels we were given. Whether that's short, tall, thin, big, smart, stupid, white, black or brown, LGBTQ. Sorry if I forgot one of those letters in there. Neurotypical or neurodiverse.

Have you ever wondered how your brain is different from an NT because you are Neurodiverse? I definitely have. My brain is wired differently so I think in different ways than NTs do. And I tend to overthink things and make them bigger, more difficult than necessary. I have gotten better at not having them bug me as much though because that doesn't do any good.
