RE: New to SPD and STRESSED
Hi, bigred, welcome! I'm not single. I'm sorry to hear that you don't have any support. That does make it very stressful. Has your son just recently been diagnosed? Does your son have an IEP/504 at school?
I haven't come across any support groups in my area. I have found it helpful for my son to go to a social skills group at a psychologist's office. The doctor specializes in SPD and autism spectrum disorders. There are 3 other boys in the group, one who is PDD-NOS, one who is SPD and ADHD, not sure about the 4th boy, and then my son with SPD and anxiety. The parents are all out in the waiting area and we talk while the boys have their session. We don't always talk about SPD but it's nice to be with others who know what you're going through.
Does your son go to OT? Maybe the OT knows about support groups in your area?
I hope we can help, at least be an ear to listen when you need to vent!
