SPD Support Forum

I'm nineteen and have SPD. I also have polymicrogyria, a brain malformation, mostly in the temporal lobes that may or may not have caused my SPD, but definitely caused my epilepsy and auditory processing issues. My senses are hypersensitive, and sometimes it seems like the auditory is hardest to deal with, since everything is loud and painful, but I can't process what any of the sounds mean.

It's nice to join here!

Hi! Welcome! I'm glad you found us.

I have auditory issues too. Everyone seems to watch TV too loud. I have trouble getting informational over the phone, when I can't see a person's face. I have trouble tuning out a lot of background noise to focus on what a person is saying. I startle very easily, but I think that's part of another area of SPD.

Hope you jump right in!

Welcome!!!
