I have posted before to the blog and had an amazing response For those of you who don't know me or my story, I was diagnosed with non verbal learning disability (NLD) when I was 16 years old. At that time my parents and I finally had a sense of relief now we had an understanding. Now some people commented on my story a diagnosis proves nothing ! With a proper diagnosis we were able to learn my spectrum how I could successfully pass high school and the challenges I may face later on this diagnosis in a lot of ways saved my life. At that time I was severely depressed and self harming and in no way benefiting myself or my parents. I challenged myself to be better, instead of the constant feeling of being different or alone and that no one would understand what I was going through. My mother thought fitness fitness was an outlets to stimulate my mind manage my NLD and anxiety. After a year of her prying I finally joined and I have lived in a gym ever since it changed my life. Recently I received my master fit coach certification with the help of koko fit club where I work and train. To the parents who have children with NLD it can be frustrating and stressful and some days feels like all hope is lost. Don't give up I beg you not to. My parents never gave up on me, they pushed me to be better. They did so much research and worked with me in so many ways so I could be successful! I have two amazing parents. So many people have told me I'm a role model for them and inspiration I never thought I would hear that and it's so humbling ! For the kids and adults reading this with NLD or on the spectrum or struggling remember this, you are not different you are unique and have special gifts to share with the world. I found mine in fitness and training. You will find yous.
