Hello,
I am looking for people who are experiencing similar things like me, I a have NVLD(very high verbal iq, but rather low performance iq). I am in university and passing my exams( I have to use my rote-memory, I dont actually fully understand the material eventough I end up with high marks for the exams.).
Me passing exams at university is really the only thing that is high functioning about me, I am dumb and cannot think on the same level as I am able to learn, I cannot make logical decisions, i dont understand slightly abstract jokes, I have the abstract reasoning ability of a child and so on.. I almost never meet a person who is at my low level of intelligence, people cut me out of their potential social circle because of my simpleness. I am so f*****g simple and shallow thinkingwise its not normal compared to 99% of the poeple that I meet, I really fear that I could have mental retardation.
Does anyone recognize this? I have read stories and interview about/with people that had NVLD and they seem much more mature/intelligent than me, It seems that for most NVLD'ers the lower performance IQ is ainly caused my llow visual intelligence rather than low fluid intelligence(second seems to be whats going on in my case).
