NVLD is a misname, it is not neurotypical. And autism is a ballpark, not a spectrum!
I have somewhat profound dyssemia (nonverbal communication impairment) which may make me looking like somebody stupid. I have significant social ineptitude. I have severe interests and had strange customs. I am not so interested in normal social contacts, do not feel the need of love so much.
I think that I would receive non-PDD diagnosis in North America. I have some executive functioning problems (my PIQ is probably lower than VIQ). I think in words and do not know how "autistic" visual thinking looks. I wonder if i have NVLD. I wrote my Math exam perfectly when I was 18. It is not so typical for NVLD. I like maps, even quite much. I like graphs, vivid colors. But I think that I have mild NLD. I haven't technical talents. I am rather uninterested in IT, it is somewhat boring for me. I like games, statistics, records, collecting.
I sometimes can have "efforts" to translate thoughts into words, but I do not think in pictures. My picture thinking is rather blurred. It is a symptom of NLD for me. I had some problems with directions earlier. Also I had (maybe still have) some mild motoric issues. My auditory memory may be not so good, but is not so bad. I like to learn when I write. I like writing and have rather good handwriting, unlike most people with NLD or ASD. I am scholastically talented, but maybe not gifted. I do not like fiction literature so much. I prefer facts. I am childish and do not think about job in future so much. I do not know what I should to do.
I am not so high functioning. I think that I have SCT which makes me slower and somewhat "sleepy". This condition may be really irritating for others and it increases social ineptitude and work problems. I have magical thinking, suspiciousness and delusional ideations. They look "kooky".
I think that I have more serious developmental disorder than a learning disability. I have AS diagnosis - it is a PDD. I think it fits and "NVLDers" should be re-diagnosed as PDDers/Aspies/autists. Learning disability is aminly scholastic problem, not socail, emotional and behavioral. I have rather mild sensory problems, but they may be irritating, also for others. I am rather not so sensitive to sound. I tolerate tags. I strongly dislike haircutting, dislike hairdo making, getting a shower (water is often too hot or too cold). I had only mild problems with literal interpretations, sometimes I was significantly gullible. My prosody tends to be somewhat impaired, but not (so) monotonous.
