Anyone out there with a nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD)?

Has anyone here on YA been diagnosed with a nonverbal learning disorder? I was diagnosed as having one recently, and am having trouble getting information about it (other than a couple of websites I found.)

All I've been able to find are people with Asperger's, which is a form of autism and I am not autistic and therefore do not face many (if any) of the same difficulties those folks do. (I realize that NVLD and Asperger's are similar, but my particular case of NVLD really isn't at all.) I feel more akin to inattentive ADD than anything else.

Anyone? And if so, do you have any tips or would you like to chat? I feel all alone here!
