1. What brings you here?
Hi, my 8 yr old daughter has SPD (diagnosed over a year ago). I never knew anything about the condition before that. Now I am looking for fellow parents to get to know as a support group. I only know one lady with kids who have SPD and I feel like I'm always running to her with questions. It would be nice to have more friends who know what it's like to have a child with SPD.
2. What is your relations to someone with SPD?
As I previously mentioned, my daughter is my main concern, but in my research and observations, I think that both my husband and I also have a degree of SPD. We've just learned to deal with it better than our daughter has as of yet.
3. Is there any immediate help you need?
I need people in my life who don't say, "Wow, what's wrong with your kid?" Not that anyone has really said that before, but sometimes, you can read a lot from how people look at you and the situation that is transpiring.
5. SPD doesn't run your life! What are you or your child's gifts?
My daughter loves to draw and is very talented & creative.
Interests?
She loves Math and Science (especially animals and bugs)
6. What do you like to do in your spare time? Any hobbies or interests?
I am a photographer in my spare time and do childrens and family photography as a business.
