Brain Imaging Helps Distinguish NLD and Aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

Because I have NLD, I found this article very interesting. It does raise some interesting questions.

Brain Differences Of Children With NLD and Children with Aspegers

That was really interesting.

It talks about how NLD kids differ from HFA kids, but it doesnt say a word about how either differ from NT kids.

It wasn't supposed to. The article was about the brain differences between NLD and ASD.

I think that NLD is the representant of something which is F84.5 in ICD-10 (Asperger's syndrome) and classic Asperger's is a form of atypical autism (F84.1). I have F84.5 diagnosis.

"NLD" was named as (I read in the Internet):

- pervasive developmental disability
- life learning disability
- "serious and complex developmental disability" (such as autism)

"NLD" is NOT ONLY a learning disorder. It is something which is written above. Especially when it has the symptoms in ares such as: social, emotional, behavioral, sensory...

I think that the name NVLD is inadequate, bad and misleading. It is "soft" autism for me. With better ToM and less rigid mind. People with NLD are not neurotypical.

Locked due to necro posting.
