Hi all,
i'm an adult with SPD, and-- though we've not had him tested yet-- suspect i am also the parent of a toddler with SPD. i was home schooled, and therefore able to manage SPD fairly well. Likewise, i work from home presently, and am finding that works well for me. i have a wonderful, WONDERFUL supportive partner who helps accommodate my quirks. That said, i've only just realized that there are other adults with SPD and am really interested in problem solving some lifestyle things like housekeeping, bedding with another person, and staying focused on tasks like formal writing and large amounts of reading. Likewise, i'm curious about the creative ins and outs of parenting a person with SPD without pathologizing him!
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
