nonverbal learning disorder

Who knows is a good question. I hear you. I try to do things that keep my brain sharp.

I dabble with herbs and vitamins and good nutrition.

Ball: Do you also have non verbal? If so, what kind of herbs have you tried and have any helped? Joan

Hi there-

I too have non verbal learning disorder; it used to be called Visual Spatial Motor Disorder back in the seventies I believe. It affects many areas of my life especially since I am a student, 28 years of age, studying to work with children.

I don’t really know what happens unfortunately as we age, how the aging process affects our learning, does it get worse as we get older. My guess is yes, but I don’t know of any evidence backing this up unfortunately. Personally I get frustrated because it doesn’t seem like much has been done to study health problems of adults with learning disabilities. Sorry, I am sort of geting off topic here.

I try to eat a lot of veggies because I feel more alert when I do; from what I have read broccoli is supposed to help your memory and there are a few vitamins that help, flax seed oil as well as vitamins B and E. I also eat a bit of fish because that makes me feel more alert as well.

I know that this isn’t much but I hope that it helps.

I believe that some learning disabilities are caused by some traumas that some people experience. It’s also caused by genetics too, even though a parent may deny it. It’s possible. I have struggles with memory too. I have a learning disability in Math and Reading Comphrension.

I was diagnosed with NVL. I really don’t understand about it, I just know that I have LD and how frustrating it is. I try not to get worked up about it, but sometimes it’s difficult not too. Currently. I eat a lot of fruit, take vitamins, and supplements. I believe that with Jesus’ help, I will find out what my mind needs and I will be that much better with memorization and in other learning areas.

God Bless

I cannot say for sure or not if it would get worst with age. But I doubt it.
Usually health problems will make it worst. Mental of Physical . So get a check up. If you have other symptoms tell your doctor. I ended up with sever problems, because I was ignored by ignorant doctors. Any changes are important to look into. I was finally tested and tested positive for Lyme disease. It took too many years to find and now I have permenent damage. It was gradual decrease in mental abilities. But many physical in addition. Make sure the doctor runs test.
