You are singing my song.
When someone gives me verbal instructions with too many steps or they are not very succint, at a certain point it all becomes gibberish.. In fact, my favorite way to get directions (like say in a hospital or building) is to ask one person and follow the first couple of steps I remember then ask again till I get there or find it myself.
Handwriting is so bad I often am unable to read it myself. I am as deficient mathmatically as I am proficient in laungauage.
On telling feature of this disorder is a large gap between verbal IQ and performance. In other words we test above what we are able to practically apply. Weird.
NLD folks usually are strong auditory learners. I can learn anything and remember well anything I hear from a good speaker. My ipod with the free podcasts make learning more like downloading info directly into my brain.
I feel like the main drawback of this type of ld is that I am constantly misjudged-sometimes in my favor but mostly not.
Has had the effect of me being highly independant.
BTW-I am on my 3rd day of Abilify at 2mg and am noticing an energizing effect-yaay!
I woke early today and am able to get around and do stuff more easily.
Peace,
kaye
