My name is Ben. When he was 2, my son was diagnosed with ASD. I came across a website recently about SPD and thought that that was Hank 100%
Hank (3 yo) loves music and has a great memory for tunes. He loves the ocean and doesn't seem to understand that he can't breathe under water. He can and does use complete and complex sentences when it suits him, but does not answer questions beginning with what, where, when, why or how. He loves spaghetti, but gags on ravioli. He has obsessive interests in cats, fans and koalas (we recently moved from Colorado to Melbourne, Australia). He loves tickle time and rough play and can be very affectionate, but does not seem interested in friends his own age. Does this sound like SPD to you?
