I'm new here and I believe I have SPD (maybe ADD too?), which is why I'm here. I'd like to get info. from the people who have experienced this disorder themselves. I'm a 42-y-o woman, and I've been dealing with this for almost four years. I've been researching it, and I have the tactile form, although I am easily annoyed by noises that most people don't notice, such as squeaks in my car or high pitched noises coming from the TV, etc.

Actually, I remember when I was a kid, I couldn't stand to have tags in my clothing (still cut them out), nor could I wear jeans because the knot of material in the crotch area irritated me, and I wore my socks inside-out to avoid the seams. For the last four years, I've been overly sensitive to the seams in my clothing, mostly on my right side when I wear shirts with ANY type of sleeve, and now I'm beginning to get irritated by waistbands or anything similar to a belt (even something so simple as the belt on my robe). I'm desperate to get treatment for this and start wearing clothes again - like a normal person! So glad to have found this site.
