LUCKY ME!

So my husband and I have been together for about 10 years now. He is 30 years old. When I first met him, I realized he was a bit different, but not so much that it bothered me.

Fast forward 8 years. We began the process of adopting kids through foster care. I was researching different types of behaviors when I ran across SPD. And HOLY COW, that was my husband.

He always thought he was a freak He has some fairly incredible issues.

All of his senses are heightened- hearing sight touch smell and taste.

Firstly, he doesnt eat anything GREEN. NO Vegies Its a miracle hes healthy. Its a combination of taste and the texture in his mouth, it makes him gag. Hes to the point he refuses to try anything.

He hates his head being touched. Other parts of his body are also very sensitive.

He cannot handle anything with added scent. Just too much. I cant wear perfume or scented lotions. No room fresheners.

He cant differentiate sound volume in a room with many things going on. He hears everything at the same level. It makes it very hard to concentrate. I can never whisper around him

He wears shorts and soft tshirts. No tags. He cant get past the feeling of something on his legs.

So get this. We were matched with a little guy, not quite 3 years old. Many of the same issues! At least we have an idea of where to start!

My question is this- will my husband ever eat other foods? What can I do to help both him and my son?

Thanks for listening!
