An article about NLD in the workplace, by Kelli Bond.
An excerpt:
Divulging confidential information to the wrong individuals, asking questions or making comments perceived as intrusive by most standards, uttering remarks that can be received as discriminatory, and treating virtual strangers as long-lost friends are among the other on-the-job social blunders committed by individuals with NLD. These are related to problems perceiving and understanding that most people flex relationship styles among different individuals, have multiple complex definitions for the word "friend," and have no need to verbalize their every move and thought.
All of the aforementioned difficulties, along with literal interpretations of messages and the resulting black-and-white outlook in dealing with interpersonal conflict, often earns the employee with NLD consistent "needs to improvement" ratings on the communication and teamwork sections of performance appraisals.
