My name is Jamie. I am 25 and I have 2 little boys. My oldest is 4 and has been diagnosed by 2 occupational therapists with SPD. He's had a hard time in social/structured settings since he was able to walk. I always knew something was different about him. Getting a diagnosis was huge for us. It felt like a ray of sunshine after a horrible thunderstorm. The past year has been especially hard for us. He has been in a daycare and I've had several meetings with his teacher and the director and I finally took him to his pediatrician with our concerns. He is a sensory seeker. Constantly moving and touching everything. He has a hard time sitting for any length of time. Group activities are especially hard for him. My youngest son is 2. He is the complete opposite of my oldest. He's so laid back. I have been married for almost 7 years now. My husband has been really supportive through all of this. It took him a while to get on board about having my oldest evaluated but he finally seen what I've seen since he was a year old. I don't have much support from the extended family. everyone thinks I'm crazy and my son is just difficult or hard to control. I am glad I found this site. I am in need of some support I can't wait to get to know you all.
