Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) bring unique strengths and opportunities, showcasing the extraordinary capabilities and resilience of those who experience these conditions. In our latest podcast episode, Linda Karanzalis, a board-certified cognitive specialist, shares her enriching personal and professional insights into NVLD and ADHD. She highlights how these conditions enhance everyday interactions with unique social perspectives and innovative problem-solving abilities, while also discussing the positive impacts of emotional depth they can bring.

In this conversation, we celebrate the often-overlooked strengths of NVLD, examining its synergistic relationship with other neurodivergent conditions like ADHD and autism. Linda underscores the critical need for accurate recognition and appreciation of NVLD within the medical community to further empower those it affects.
With over 25 years of experience supporting individuals with NVLD and ADHD, Linda Karanzalis authored Misnamed, Misdiagnosed, Misunderstood and established ADDvantages Learning Center, a pioneering program for neurodivergent learners. Additionally, she serves as a social ambassador for the NVLD Project and hosts the podcast NVLD & Neurodivergent Pioneers. Her valuable insights into neurodiversity have been featured in the US Daily Times and ADDitude magazine.
