I have massive NVLD's and so have no idea what "....." means in that context.

Does that mean you can't/don't talk? That would be difficult... What do you do to communicate? I imagine that communicating via text online would be a nice outlet.

The "..." meant that the OP said all (s)he meant to say in the title of the post.

I have a neurological disease and on rare occasions I have a very limited verbal ability. I'll problems finding the word in my head and getting the word out. It IS frustrating, and it makes me angry. I look obviously disabled during these times and some people will stare at me if I'm in public. That just makes me angrier. I'm lucky that I'm not like that very much, but eventually I'll be like that all the time.

So yeah, I understand a little bit.

This is a good place if you want to keep talking about it.

Most people look at the meaning of what you're message is, just not being able to talk fluently hardly makes me feel/think that someone is dumb or disabled, some of the smartest people I know have difficulty with speaking and everybody wants to know what they have to say eventough they sometimes really strugle to find the right words.
