Hi and welcome!! I'm glad you clicked randomly and found us!

Since you aren't able to see an OT right now, keep jumping on the trampoline, pogo sticks, and swinging on swings--those all will help! As well as the music listening and playing. Get your body moving and it will help your brain to get a handle on things.

You can have perfect hearing and see 20/20, but still have auditory or vision issues. I know I learn better with visuals. If I just listen to a lecture, I can't absorb the information, it doesn't stay with me. I need to see something that reinforces whatever the person is talking about or read it in a book. My auditory problems have also shown up with phones. I can't seem to take phone messages very well. I hear all the words but my brain can't make sense of it. I have to have phone numbers repeated over and over before I can write down the right number. I find that I look at people's mouths when they talk so that I can better process what they're saying. I've had my hearing tested over the years and it's always been perfect.

Low self-esteem is also a problem with many people who have SPD. Try to keep positive thoughts about yourself! I know it's hard.

I'm not sure what to do about school or who to ask for help for that level of schooling. My older son is just entering 5th grade.

I hope you'll stick around and hopefully someone else will have an answer about young adult help.
