I suppose that immature personality disorder might be a frequent misdiagnosis of autistic adults earlier times.

I used to think curtain and certain were both spelt like certain

I've just closed mine

It is easier for me to have visual thoughts when I have closed eyes than when I have opened eyes.

Yeah I get what you're saying there


I don't eat enough Indian food me
That's my only regret in life really

I found this topic on Reddit about neurodiversity interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/neurodiversity ... _disorder/ (Does this sound like Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NLD)? I'm a 29F and desperately searching for answers)

I think that my sister looks pretty unexpansive and unenthusiastic in comparison to me. She does not look like a passionate "nerd" for me.

I have fleeting, but rather vivid and somewhat detailed, visual thinking. The fleetingness appears to be the problem here. I had poor result in Benton Visual Retention Test. I mostly have no visual thinking, especially when I have open eyes. It is harder for me to visualize when I have opened eyes than when I have closed eyes and I may have "no attention divisibility" when I have visual thinking

There was a time when I thought chastity was a form of corporal punishment.

I think that NVLD was greatly misunderstood and confused with autism spectrum disorder, for example because of high VIQ and VIQ - PIQ split. This confusion may not take into account phenomena such as POP valley (Picture Arrangement, Object Assembly, Picture Completion clearly lower than Block Design, which is found also in WAIS profiles of mathematically and scientifically talented students) and PSI valley (noticeable weak Processing speed performance, especially in Digit-Symbol Coding, which frequently occurs among autistics) which can be often present among people with autism and which tend to lower PIQ in comparison to VIQ.

I would consider NVLD as a label frequently used a misname for autism without global language impairment (especially when the symptoms are atypical) while proper NVLD is developmental visual-spatial disorder which has eight proposed diagnostic criteria. Misdefined NVLD appears to be used to gatekeep autism diagnosis and experience Someone may be said to people like me and possibly my sister: "it is not autism spectrum disorder, it is just nonverbal learning disorder" which belittles someone's pervasive developmental disorder to domain-specific learning disorder, "mocking" the severity of a global disability.

I'd put real candles on my tree if I could.

I'm not jealous of my sister for being the perfect Canadian specimen.

I consider cats cute.

I know that cats meow and purr which makes them even futer.

I do not have the diagnosis of schizophrenia now.

I would think that I am not only "nonnormie", but even ""antinormie"", I have "mentality" with nonpopular worldview, I consider suffering and desctruction "evil beyond the core" which should have not ever happened, I do not believe in atheism and determinism, I "feel" contempt to physical evil more than to moral evil, my "mentality" agrees with "Primum non nocere" principle, better to avoid bad thing than have the ability to cope with it while experiencing it...

I think that many descriptions of NVLD contained some kinds of comorbid autism...

ASD, DVSD and ADHD appear to be comorbid quite often and it may cause a lot of confusion between them...

I had no poor result in Coding in WAIS-R test.

I've had the same favourite Christmas song my whole life.
