[QUOTE="Syracusegrad2012, post: 540557, member: 14877"] Hey, just a few questions. What does difficult child mean I keep hearing that everywhere? NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is probably the hardest learning disability to detect it is actually known as the "invisible disability" but there were clues everywhere that something wasn't right mainly the constant calls form home because of my handwriting. NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is an extremely broad definition. My problem was I had severe perceptual and spatial deficits which caused NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). I struggled with hand to eye coordination, motor and gross skills because I couldn't process and coordinate my body correctly. This also caused social deficits because I had a hard time processing one's face and over time I pretty much just tuned out anything visual because I couldn't process it. Whether or not I got diagnosed younger probably not a lot the school could have done to help me probably nothing at all but it would have at least been nice to know why I was struggling and I could have worked with an occupational therapist to address the perceptual and spatial deficits when I was younger, but it doesn't matter what is done is done and I came very close to never finding out anyways and I am sure there are tons of other kids in my shoes who will never find out so the only thing I can do is work really hard on it now and try to get over everything that happened.
