I have no good technical skills, I am not interested in "item mechanics" since childhood. My special interests are not much technical. Despite it I liked Legos in childhood. I might learn how to ride two-wheel bike before my fifth birthday and I certainly could ride two-wheel bike before my sixth birthday. I like collecting informations.

I would say that everyone with NVLD is autistic and that not everyone with DVSD has NVLD.
I would consider nonverbal learning disability a specific autistic profile (one of "Aspie" subtypes) with distinct cognitive, behavioral and sensory patterns which may not met DSM-V ASD criteria in many cases.
DVSD might not cause social problems and it is just developmental visual-spatial disorder.

I consider NVLD a kind of autistic aspieness. The word "aspie" alternatively can come from autism spcentrum + -ie, not from "Asperger", I consider "aspie" a cute word.

In NVLD "linear, detail oriented" thinking can appear intact, while non-linear ("spatial", "multidimensional") thinking may be impaired. NVLD may appear to have "narrow" mind and geometrical 1D line is totally narrow - its thickness is zero (a zero-dimensional point thickness), so "line has no thickness". NVLD might be named "spatial learning disorder" which may suggest that 2D and, even more, 3D or higher-dimensional thinking is impaired in this disability.

I suppose that my sister may be surprisingly strongly autistic despite "bland" symptomatology in childhood.

I have "obsessive belief" or "grounded conviction" that people with pervasive developmental disorder or autism spectrum disorder can't commit any mortal sin in their entire life due to they profound atypicality and that people with nonverbal learning disorder or personality disorder can commit a mortal sin and are as responsible morally as "normal" people because they are "not impaired enough" and "not different enough" to be freed from possibility of committing a mortal sin.

I think that people with NVLD may be usually truly autistic. Autism is about social-behavioral atypicality, not about functional language level or intelligence quotient. In NVLD the core feature in visual-spatial cognitive impairment, in autism the core feature is social-behavioral atypicality (social awkwardness, quirky behaviors). Visual-spatial cognitive impairment may be present without social-behavioral atypicality and autism can be present with visual-spatial cognitive impairment.

I would say that I have Pathological Discomfort Avoidance and Pervasive Developmental Atypicality, but not Pathological Demand Avoidance. I am risk-averse and pain-averse. Three mentioned names (two first are my protologisms) have abbreviation PDA. PDA is 16, 4, 1 in Simple English Gematria. 16, 4, 1 is geometrical sequence with common ratio 0,25, sum 21 and arithmetic mean 7.

Today I have a lot of laughing fits that I hit my hand so hard, it hurts the whole day.

I was bitten in arm by my sister near midnight from 24.12.2019 to 25.12.2019, if I remember the year well because I said that she is a girl. She disagreed that she is a woman and she said that she is my sister. This uncomfortable situation looks funny to my "mentality"... What is wrong in calling very young woman a girl or a woman? A girl is a young female human.

I have a lot of internal speech. I may have more visual thinking than I might thought. I have also quite a lot of melodies ang songs in my mind, often occurring in repetitive manner. Three-dimensional thinking is more difficult than two-dimensional thinking. Can visual thinking be one-dimensional? One-dimensional straight line has thickness of a zero-dimensional point which has no length. So I would think that one-dimensional visual thinking is not possible...

I would say that I think mostly verbally and in endophasic way. I am "internally verbose" in some way. I do not have fear of phone talks and I do not have social phobia. My non-verbal thinking skills are rather poor. I do use mostly verbal, abstract, logical, conceptual, intuitive thinking and I often do not need images or other forms of non-verbal thinking to understand something or at least it seems so to me.

I think that I have disorders of social motivation and social driver. I am "expansive-but-auplatonic" which I would call a kind of "active-but-odd" type of pervasive developmental disorder. "Auplatonic" - blend od "autistic" and both "platonic" or "aplatonic", I could name some kinds of indifference to being emotionally loved by this word (lack of non-romantic close friendship is rather neutral to me). I suppose that my sister has similar thinking style (although her FSIQ appears to be lower than mine in my opinion) and similar core disorders of social motivation or social drive and she may have similar (but probably not as "autistic" and as "odd" as in my case) kind of social interaction mode to mine.

I am spinnable (spin - special interest), obsessive, excitable and rather stimmable (from "stim", autostimulating behavior) and my sister appears to be less spinnable, less obsessive, less excitable, less stimmable for me, even much less than me do I have doubts od she would met ASD criteria - for example because of supposed deficit of autistic "enthusiasm".

I would say that there is a lot of misuse and confision associated with the term "nonverbal learning disorder" (NLD/NVLD). I think that it should only mean developmental visual-spatial disorder in which the core feature are impaired visual-spatial cognitive skills. I think that social-behavioral issues and executive functioning not associated with visual-spatial impairments have to be not considered NLD symptoms at all and if their are present with DVSD, then it is autism with executive functioning problems and visual-spatial skills weakness, not a non-autistic condition.

I do not think that all people with autism have severe sensitivity to sounds or lights.

I think that NLD with social-behavioral issues is merely a kind of autism. I think that the term "nonverbal learning disorder" was severely misused. I do not believe in the existence of "social NLD" - "social NLD" is just a kind of autism.

I read about a person with pervasive developmental disorder who had no developmental delay who was rather early diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in Poland who had VIQ above 100 and PIQ below 60 in early teenage years and obvious autism spectrum disorder symptoms - this person is an Aspie WHO appears to have severe co-morbid developmental visual-spatial disorder.

I suppose that it is more probable to have autism without DVSD than to have DVSD without autism.
