It is hard when people do not understand. Or when they tell you that you are making issues out of "nothing"
It is nice to know that there is indeed a place called SPD Life where we can share our feelings and frustrations, and also see how others are coping (or not coping)
Only my boyfriend really understands me, so I know how you are feeling. My son as an infant could not stand the texture of ANY baby food. I ended up making my own with a consistency still ok for a baby to eat. I didn't know anything about SPD til about eight months ago. I now recognize it in both my children tho we are all "unofficially" self diagnosed. Being uninsured has not helped me and my children's father does "not believe" in SPD and he says if we tell our children their is something "wrong with them" there "will be" something wrong with them. My kids have great insurance, yet he refuses to look into it. My son has 22 "doctor tested" food and non food allergies... he doesn't "believe in food allergies" **sigh**
I knew in my heart and my very depths I finally found an answer to my and my kids issues when I stumbled onto SPD. It does not take a doctor for me to see SPD in me and my kids.
Stay strong - as I know you all are, as most people would not last a day in our SPD skin.
