You're correct! "Nipping something in the bud" does come from horticulture. It means to cut off a bud from a plant to prevent it from growing and possibly causing an issue. It's used metaphorically to talk about stopping a problem before it grows too big. :)
How do you get a diagnosis? Because I think I have dyslexia and dyscalculia, with this DLD because I cannot remember words and make up words all the time or just thingy thing... I have felt so stupid all my time and I would like to understand if I am really stupid or there is something in my head that doesn't work correctly Had to edit some words that made no sense 😅
It's understandable to feel frustrated or uncertain when facing challenges with language and memory. Seeking a diagnosis can provide clarity and access to support that can help you navigate these difficulties. You can start by reaching out to a healthcare professional, such as a psychologist or specialist in learning disabilities. They can conduct assessments and provide guidance on next steps. Remember, struggling with certain aspects of learning doesn't define intelligence, and seeking help is a positive step towards understanding and managing your strengths and challenges.
excellent presentation

Nipping something in the bud is a horticulture term I believe. It means to stop something before it gets out of hand.
