[Self-Test] Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NLD) in Children
Children with nonverbal learning disorder often start off as precocious youngsters, impressing the adults around them with their highly developed verbal abilities.
But as they get older — and the challenges associated with NLD remain untreated — their precociousness can turn to anxiety, depression, and loneliness as they struggle to connect with others and interact with the world around them.
Because NLD is so little known and children with NLD are often clumsy, socially maladroit, and may talk incessantly, they are often mistakenly diagnosed with ADHD.So what does nonverbal learning disorder look like?
Every child is different, but one common early indicator is highly developed verbal skills and lots of talking; from an early age, children with NLD rely almost entirely on language to learn about the world.
