Hello Everyone. I am new here. I am also new to the whole SPD diagnoses. My son started Pre-K in August of this year. When we did the Pre-K screenings they noticed things I had not. I have always stayed at home with my son. I always felt that there was something wrong but was so hard to explain. I told pediatricians but they always just said "he is a boy" and blamed it on him just behaving badly. We are currently having OT, PT, seeing a speech Therapist and is being observed by behavioral Therapist right now. We are composing alot of findings and info for the "Bigger Picture" I asked what picture they were seeing and was told they couldn't give diagnoses but there is a possibility of Asbergers Syndrome. I at first was in shock at all this and so upset but after thinking about it have actually found some satisfaction in actually knowing what is going on with my boy. He is a busy lil cutie pie and is so very smart but, we have "meltdowns" alot. I started saying he was having meltdowns a long time ago. I just knew everything set him off. He is like a lil sponge and absorbs everything he sees and hears. It amazes me how he can have such a problem and yet be so smart. Somedays I feel like I am gonna break. It is very hard to control my patience somedays. I cry alot. I know that we will make it through all of this because I know God is here with us each and every day. I just keep praying and keep reading and learning about what is going on with my son. I thank you for allowing me to be a member of your group.

Welcome! My heart goes out to you. I shared many of the same feelings a little over a year ago. We've learned to much and tried so many things. I wrote this blog about what worked for us in the past year, so I'll share it. I hope you find encouragement and help here.
