Since figuring out my husband and I are both Asperger's people, I read awhile on different aspects, back off, then come back to digest a little more. (Yes, I know not everyone who is SPD is on the autism spectrum. )

I'm wondering, also, who to approach to get an evaluation for my 71 y.o. husband. His balance has never been good, and having had a surgery induced stroke many years ago, his left side is partially paralyzed. However, his balance is only this year getting worse, and he's fallen twice this past week. My hope is that an OT could help his vestibular system? But I don't think our PCP is crazy about internet information, and would resist my effort to get him referred. And when I called a physical therapy center (didn't know what OT was all about then) they wouldn't take him w/o a doctor referral. Although our medicare/supplemental insurance lets us go wherever we please.

Actually, I don't know what I expect from you all. But it helps just to talk it out so thanks for listening! And it does help just seeing your experiences and knowing we are in good company.
