First Five: Nonverbal Learning Disabilities

Today's First Five fact sheet is on nonverbal learning disabilities, a disorder that may have more in common with Asperger syndrome and other points on the autism spectrum than with traditional learning disabilities. If you've never heard of NLD and want more information, start with two items on the "First Five" list: a quick description from the Nonverbal Learning Disorders Association that's full of facts, and an essay by a young person with NLD that's full of feeling.
