A: The answer here is strongly dependent on the language itself within the non-disclosure agreement. For example if there is language pertaining to disparagement, such terms often do limit the ability to communicate information with third parties, with some limitations such as law enforcement, federal agencies, or legal representation. Without reviewing your specific agreement it is hard to give a clear answer but it is a distinct possibility that the language can indeed restrict communication with third parties, especially if you received some manner of financial benefit from signing the agreement with the employer.
