Have you ever wondered what it is like to live with an invisible learning disability? Well then step into my and other’s world of Living with Nonverbal Learning Disability (NLD). I want to provide a podcast for people with NLD or someone who knows someone who has it and wants to help improve their life. Awareness about NLD should be raised because the public needs to be more knowledgeable about it. This can be hard to do because it is one of the learning disabilities that someone can have without it being obvious. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jennifer8697/support

Being neurodivergent often means navigating a world that misunderstands your needs, leading to masking and emotional exhaustion. Self-partnering—a practice of nurturing your relationship with yourself—offers neurodivergent individuals a path to self-acceptance, emotional safety, and personal empowerment. It allows you to honor your unique wiring, set boundaries without guilt, and live authentically without waiting for external validation.Etsy shop: https://wovendifferently.etsy.com.

This episode explores how the language we use—like “the migraine” vs. “my migraine” or “autistic” vs. “person with autism”—shapes identity, perception, and even the experience of chronic pain. Drawing from personal reflections, research, and tools like the Curable app, we dive into the impact of word choice on neurodivergence, stigma, and healing. Ultimately, we examine how thoughtful language can create distance from suffering, foster empowerment, and reflect the complex ways we define ourselves.Links for articles: https://disabilityrightstx.org/en/2023/04/13/identity-first-language-vs-people-first-language/?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://autisticadvocacy.org/about-asan/identity-first-language/?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://www.jpain.org/article/S1526-5900%2823%2900654-5/fulltext?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://www.psypost.org/neuroscience-study-reveals-how-language-affects-pain-processing-among-bilingual-individuals/?utm_source=chatgpt.com#google_vignettehttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34462809/Link for Pateron: patreon.com/LivingWithAnInvisibleLearningChallengeLink for BetterHelp sponsorship: https://bit.ly/3A15Ac1Links for new podcasts:Shero: Be Your Own Hero Trailer: https://open.spotify.com/show/1O7Mb26wUJIsGzZPHuFlhX?si=c3b2fabc1f334284Chats, Barks, & Growls: Convos With My Pet Trailer: https://open.spotify.com/show/74BJO1eOWkpFGN5fT7qJHh?si=4440df59d52c4522Think Out: Free Your Imagination

In this episode, we explore the history and impact of Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NVLD), a condition characterized by strong verbal skills but significant challenges with spatial reasoning, motor coordination, and social interpretation. From its identification in the mid-20th century by pioneers like Byron Rourke to personal stories of resilience, we delve into the evolving understanding of NVLD. We also highlight the ongoing struggle for recognition in diagnostic manuals and education systems, as well as efforts by advocates to raise awareness and improve interventions. Whether you're new to NVLD or seeking deeper insights, this episode sheds light on a complex and often misunderstood condition.

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.

Many neurodivergents have a hard time being on their own and independent because of it being hard to be independent without help from your family. I work for my parents and have for four years. And have lived with them for 6 years so I get it. But I'm fortunate to have had help from my family to get my own first place!

The topic discusses how many professionals, like doctors, teachers, and tutors, are neurodiverse or know someone who is. It suggests that if more doctors understood neurodiversity, they could better address challenges related to chronic pain, medication effectiveness, weight management, and self-care. The text highlights that neurodiverse individuals face different challenges than neurotypicals, and professionals who recognize this could offer more effective and compassionate care.

For me it was my accommodations I had in college. I was able to record the audio of lectures. Had audio version of textbooks and extra time on tests. I took the test in a room with fewer distractions and by myself. I also was able to have my ESA dog Truffles with me in the exam room. I used Kurzweil 3000, audio-noteaker and sonocent.

Have you ever wondered if historical events targeted neurodivergent individuals without many knowing? It would be both interesting and appalling to discover if any neurodivergent individuals were among those exterminated in the Holocaust. I apologize if this topic touches on personal losses related to the Holocaust, a truly horrific period in human history.

Do you struggle with more than one incurable condition or learning difference? Or do you have challenges living with more than one condition or learning difference that are invisible? Do you have issues with there not being a cure for these conditions, diseases, learning differences etc. now or possibly ever? I would say yes to all of these questions and that has been true for the past 16 years for my PTSD, the past 10 years for NLD and chronic migraines.

I've always had a difficult time being myself especially around people that don't know much about me. I usually don't hid the challenges that my learning difference and chronic migraine conditions present to my close friends and family because they know what it is like for me since they live with me and have known me for a while.

Part 2 for this interview and Jim's Bio is below James Lange is a CPA/Attorney and the author of ten best-selling financial books that help IRA and retirement plan owners get the most of what they've got. The Wall Street Journal has endorsed Jim's tax and estate planning strategies 36 times. Listeners should go to https://DisabledChildPlanning.com/Podcast to download a free digital copy of book. At that page, interested listeners can also leave their name/email address if they want to be notified about our June 18, 19, & 20 virtual summit. Jim's daughter, Erica, has a disability. Jim's expertise with Roth IRA conversions and the impact of the SECURE Act on IRAs, disability planning, and legacy planning was critical in developing a long-term plan to secure his daughter's financial future and improve his family's quality of life. He was quick to realize that his solution, with modifications tuned to each family's circumstances, could benefit all parents of a child with a disability. Using his family's journey as the base, Jim authored a new book, Retire Secure for Parents of a Child with a Disability, with two experts in the disability field. Jim and his co-authors believe the book is the best comprehensive financial resource for parents of a child with a disability. Jim and his staff are also hosting a 3-day virtual summit titled Financial and Life Planning Summit…for Parents of a Child with a Disability from June 18 to June 20. Tatyana McFadden, one of the top paralympic athletes in the world will be our celebrity speaker. The three co-authors and a host of other experts will be offering educational talks over the three-day period. Participants can choose which of the sessions they would like to attend. Many will also be followed with Q&A sessions. And best of all, everyone can enjoy the talks from the comfort of their own living room.

Did you know that there is a link between neurodivergence and being hyperbolic? Have you heard of why NVLD isn't in the DSM? And why is the name changing to DVSD or Development Visual Spatial Disorder? Why isn't there one agreed upon definition for NVLD or DVSD? We'll be exploring these topics today. The songs I referenced were "Walking Miracles" and "Do Something," by Matthew West.

Do you often have challenges with not questioning whether a social interaction went well or not because of your inner critic? Does your inner critic stop you from creating new relationships because you remember the last time you did that and how it turned out? Or maybe you're hesitant to go deeper into an existing relationship because you like the status of it and don't want to ruin it?

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, a nerd, OCDer? 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? Today's episode is inspired by some articles that I read recently and feelings that I've been wrestling or struggling with over my whole life since I was diagnosed as NVLDer, PTSDer, and chronic migraine warrior.
