Thank you everyone.

Peanuts, those sites had a wealth of information and I am happy you recommended those. They say NLD and OCD often occur together.

I had my tests done years ago with vocational rehab and I recently requested those records. However, it may be too long ago.

The descriptions of NLD have a familiar ring to them. There is a book about employment and NLD; I read parts of this book and WOW! Two people with this disorder failed their student teaching experiences as I did. One was a lawyer who concentrates on research. One studied to be a speech pathologist, but had trouble during his practicum because of social learning issues.

People with NLD love words. Several majored in English. Many are good at editing and proofreading, but the publishing world requires social skills as well. They don't do well with groups of people, but can function in a one-on-one environment. It's nice to read about people who are like me.

Thank you for the information, Peanuts.
