I had my first appointment with an O.T today. I was 2 hours early (because I wrote the time down wrong ) but it did give me time to find out where the building was

Over-all the appointment went very well. The O.T was lovely - we talked a little about what areas I wanted to address and if there was one sense that was more affected... to which I said they are all stressful / bad...but really wanted to work on touch, sound and taste the most. We decided to start with touch. As we talked she brought up that she noticed that I fidget a lot, especially with my hands - so she suggested having something to hold/have in my hands to touch might be a good idea - I tried various small toys and objects - and got a feel (excuse the pun) for what I did and didn't like. After, we discussed how the therapressure Brushing works and did my first brushing session - it actually felt a lot nicer than I was expecting - though a little irritating by the end (it did seem to calm me down a bit after the pressure part after brushing).
By the end of the session though I was really tired, and had trouble focusing on what she was saying, and wanted to go home.

I see her again hopefully in two weeks - in the mean time I am meant to brush 3 to 5 times a day. It sounds like a lot - I'm afraid I'll forget! but i'm really hoping this will be helpful. She didn't say whether or not I have S.P.D as a diagnosis? (she mentioned when I talked with her about my problems on the phone that it sounded like sensory processing disorder/issues). I handed in all the questionnaires today she asked me to fill out, and she said she is going to just write a letter back to the GP who reffered me. Can Adults even receive a dx of S.P.D? or...can anyone? since it is not in the DSM? I have heard it is only diagnosed as a co-morbid thing?
Either way, I'm really not fussed about an official diagnosis (even if it would make me feel less crazy!) - I really just care about getting the right treatment to make my life bearable and less stressful! have many people here done brushing? did you find it helpful? will I have to brush every day from now on?? any advice?/what to expect - e.g. senses get *more* sensitive before they get better?
