Trent,
It's getting too hard to read the comments down there. Thanks for the compliment and you're welcome.
I'm glad you have a good relationship with your parents. Now I understand that you don't mean literally obsessed, you just mean you'll have a new interesting project. Well, go for it! Knowlege is power.
By all means, learn everything you can about any possible explanations for "how you are." Just don't fall into the first year med student trap of thinking you have every condition you find in your pathology text. I use my research more to figure out what I don't have than what I do. That's part of what's called differential diagnosis.
The more you know, the better you'll be able to communicate with your doctors. If your mom says do research, then I'm all for your new "obsession."
Please keep me posted on your progress.
Baruch Hashem. Hoshia na.

Trent,
People should not be angry at you for your disability. Not seeing the big picture is part and parcel of NLD. It's not because you "don't think things through." It's not because of anything you do or don't do. It's the way your brain/miind works.
Your parents and teachers need to run that Google search in the link in the next post. They need to understand this stuff as much or more than you do.
All the best.
