Is there anyone here with experience of Non Verbal Learning Disorder NVLD

Camellia
over 1 year ago

I am a 50 year old woman who is diagnosed autistic and dyspraxic and likely also have ADHD (seeking formal assessment). I also strongly suspect I have non verbal learning disorder (where the person has average to above average spoken language skills but has abysmal Visio spatial skills among other aspects of visual processing) as I meet almost all the diagnostic criteria for it. 

Is there anyone here who has had experience of NVLD? 

If so did you manage to get any support through the NHS? 

Thanks in advance for any help with this?

    Not heard of that one but errr... my visio spatial skills really suck; can't catch a ball, can't drive a car.  couldn't navigate my way out of a paper bag and Oxford Circus reduces me to tears..list goes on. 

    Mind you I have Irlen's and I'm dyslexic- could have a lot to do with it. If I do have NVLD however would I distinguish that from autism or dyslexia?
