Hi, I'm Catherine. I'm in my mid-twenties and I'm currently a stay-at-home-mom. I've struggled with SPD all my life but have never been formally diagnosed. When I was in my teens I was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder but the more I read about SPD, the more I realize how well it fits all my symptoms. It's kind of a relief to have an real explanation.
I can't multi-task at all. I hate driving and refuse to merge, pass other cars, or park near other cars in parking lots. I also have a very hard time following conversations if there's any background noise or other distractions. I really struggle to make friends.
I'm really a pretty happy person though. I have a great husband, three wonderful kids, and a nice life. For fun I like to read. I'm looking forward to getting to "know" you all.
