X-files Geek, as an imaginary neurologist who just diagnosed "Little Miss Daydreamer" with Extreme Brain Syndrome I must credit you with establishing this as a disorder in a previous thread -one about NVLD. I believe you defined it as either having very splintered IQ sub-scores, or an IQ way below or way above average causing difficulty getting along in this society. Credit where credit is due.

Does that mean I can be a self-diagnosed neurotypical?
