Hi guys- I am a 34 year old mom with a daughter who is seven and just this last week diagnosed with SPD. My husband and I have known that something just wasn't right since MC was 1. But anytime we would bring it up to her pediatrician it was quickly dismissed and we were told she would grow out of it...well as we all know they don't "just grow out of it". We are just in the beginning stages of the fight with insurance, school(although so far school has been really supportive). Let me just say thank you for being here I have spent the last 3 days ready threads, stories, and having this since of calm that we are not alone.

I hate the words "just grow out of it" or if you are in an adult "it's all in your head" or "it's just anxiety".

Welcome to SPD Support Monkey0413. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

I wish you the best as you try to get help for your daughter. Keep us updated and let us know if you need any advise or support.
