Hi there Mary, welcome to the site.
I'm glad you found your way over, and thanks for sending me that email the other day. I am really glad you are able to finally, after all these years of confusion and pain, able to know just what was causing you so much trouble.
As for whether or not your son will end up with the same degree of issues as you, I wouldn't count on it
. If you are able to provide him with occupational therapy, the reasons for why he needs things to be the way they are, and an altered sensory environment that is tailored to his needs, he is likely to have a much better go at things. Believe me, I've seen it in my years of helping parents.
Anyhow, since you're here, and we like to get to know each other, have any interests or hobbies? What do you do to cope with your daily sensory struggles? What does your son do?
Again, welcome to SPD International. I hope you benefit greatly from your time here.
