Have you had experience parenting an adult child with NVLD? Or are you one?

Question

My daughter is 23, diagnosed w/ LD, not otherwise specified at 15, and nvld at 22. In the last 3 years we're just beginning to see how overarching her disabilty is. She seems to have increasing disability in the area of organization and time management and indeed all of her symptoms seem more magnified than 6 or 7 years ago. I'm not sure if this is due to the complexity of life as she gets older, or just the fact that she is more independent of us as parents in her time management and decision-making. She is a very lovely person, honest, loving, and kind. However, all of the symptoms of NVLD are operative for her. She is an independent thinker and resists parental efforts to influence her.Yet she'll come back after dissing a suggestion, and apologize for a rude or abrupt manner, and acknowledge the validity of the suggestion. I'm not sure she'll be able to support herself/ have a place of her own, and want input about any of this. I.E. $ help, therapy, ideas, links,books??

Time management: Stress it takes this long to do this chore and get her in the habit of setting a clock either way...I have a digital timer which I use often on my refrig...
