Nonverbal Learning Disorder

Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is a neurological condition where individuals primarily struggle with understanding and interpreting nonverbal cues like body language, facial expressions, and spatial awareness. They often excel in verbal skills but have difficulty with social interactions, organization, and handling visual-spatial tasks such as reading maps or understanding diagrams. NVLD can affect daily functioning and social relationships, but many individuals develop strategies to manage these challenges. It's thought to result from differences in brain development, particularly in areas responsible for visual-spatial processing and social communication.
