I have 2 daughters, ages 7 and 8. the older one has struggled in school from the day she started kindergarten, I must say I started to notice in her early years that something was not right. I saw and continue to see amazing similarities between her and me. She was finally diagnosed with SPD. My research began online and I was amazed at how I fit this profile as well. As I kid my parents just dealt with it by punishments that didn't work and physical abuse. This is almost like an awakening for me, finally understanding what is going on. This is just the start of this journey for us. Hopefully my daughter can avoid what I have gone thru my entire life.
