I usually just post pictures and random crap, not making very many personal posts. But today, I have something I need to voice and put into form that has been trapped in my head for the past few weeks. I speak of this in a somber tone and would like to stress to everyone that this is not a joke, a ploy for attention or a source fodder to make memes or jokes from.


I went into a neuro-psychologist for a re-evaluation of a diagnoses I had had as a child: ADHD. I got this when I was 7. And by 14 I was send to a neuro-psychologist. This was brought about as a suggestion from a teacher back in my high school at the time. I spent two days taking over 300 different tests that would shed insight into my mind and its mechanics.


When the results came back a month later, he told me that I had been mis-diagnosed and had been treated for the wrong disorder. He then told me that my whole life (to that point and from then on) I had been suffering from a little-known disorder called Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NLD). It is in the same family as Aspergers and Autisim. He went on to explain that it is brought about by being born with the neuro connective tissue between the left and right side of the brain having either not formed correctly in the womb or damaged. As a result, I am handicapped in my right brain with my left brain offering me genius level understanding in vocabulary, spelling and language skills.
