 Common or Uncommon?
The answer is: Uncommon. Not many people know about it so when they get diagnosed, there could be shock knowing how accurate it is. Similar Disorders Autism and other related disorders are a possibility. Click here to learn about the differences. Even though these disorders have similarities, children and teens perceive the world differently. What might be hard for one teen with any disorder might be different than another person with the same disorder. When I got diagnosed, I was lucky enough to get diagnosed properly. No matter what diagnosis you get, your journey will be different than someone else with the same disorder. This is a very unique situation. People with the same disorder sees the world differently and have different ambitions later down the line. If you have other things that make up who you are on top of NVLD like anxiety, introversion, and other things that also makes you different, that's what makes you unique and sets you apart from everyone else. If we were all the same, the world wouldn't be interesting. I thank a reader who came up with this idea. I haven't been able to come up with an idea even close to this, so I don't take the credit. Comment down below your thoughts on the subject matter. I would love to hear from you! :)

Wow!!! SO much information!! Well written, and the explanations you have given are informative and thoughtful. Will look forward to further posts about this topic. There seem to be several 'conditions' that are not always diagnosed correctly. I am Most Happy for YOU that You received the 'correct' diagnosis the first time! It is SO frustrating to be thinking one is doing all the right things, only to find out at a later date - wrong diagnosis - Ugh!!! Well Done!! Thank You!! Love Ya!!! G'ma M

This is one of my favorite posts so far! I have been doing a little reading about NVLD off and on, and it doesn't seem like there is tons of information out there. I have read a little about Autism and Asperger's, thinking there might be some overlap. But it sounds like there are definite characteristics for each diagnosis. It's kind of funny because I can read the words about spatial and abstract challenges, and I understand the words, but struggle with understanding the concept. For instance, I understand that maps are challenging for you, but I struggle to understand how you see a map versus how I see one. Or I think about how a mad face and happy face look the same to you, but don't understand how they look the same. I love learning about people and how their minds work, so for me it is all super interesting. Thank you for sharing information! I especially like it when you describe how you experience something different than I might - it really helps me understand NVLD better!
