Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NLD) is a learning problem that affects visual/spatial reasoning and visual pattern recognition. Usually, this learning problem does not affect early reading and spelling. The typical NLD student starts to have difficulty in middle school with subjects like geography, science and geometry because these subjects rely on strong visual reasoning skills. NLD students often have social difficulties because it is hard for them to interpret the visual cues that are so important in social interactions (i.e., facial expression, body language). Because of this problem with social interactions, NLD students are often misdiagnosed as Asperger’s Disorder.
