<unk>  (NLD) (also known as NVLD) is a  developmental or<unk><unk>  with manifestations in the following domains: a) somatosensory and motor functions; b) visuospatial and visuoconstructive functions; c) arithmetic; d) social cognition, and e) inferential reasoning. Psychopathologically, externalizing symptoms predominate in the preschool and early school years, often confounding with attention-deficit/hyperactivity and oppositional-defiant<unk> s. Towards the preadolescent and adolescent years there occurs a gradual shift towards internalizing symptoms related to anxiety and depression. Internalizing symptoms may be best thought of as a consequence of long-term academic and social-interpersonal failure: a reactive<unk> . In many people with NLD, social isolation and awkwardness are consequences of long-term social-interpersonal failure.<unk> s in the social domain may be best conceptualized as lack of social cognition and, consequently, social abilities. Individuals with NLD have difficulties generalizing from one situation to another and<unk>  from experience. It can be hard for them to interpret the subtleties encountered in social interactions, which may involve, for example,<unk>  gestures and facial cues indicating irony or cynicism.
