Thanks! He loves watching old movies, I think that helps him. He was an ironworker and was hurt on teh job, the cornea (sp) of his eye eas sliced off, they tried to fix it but he only has 20% vision in that eye. He has a photographic memory, he can tell you who won what emmy in 1939 for what movie, etc... That is his favorite stuff are old movies. I try to do things taht pertian to that, gets him to slow down and talk about that stuff and not think of anything else.

I don't think he knew what was wrong with him until we got together becuase of my son. He has had a childhood full of behavior isues, trouble, etc. and it was he could not sit still , is impulsive, etc... There will be days when I will try to go hold his hand and he wil tell me I cannot tolerate to be touched right now. I think I can emphasize with him because of my son, he has never been able to keep a relationship, ours is the longest he has had and that is only 2 years! lol I look at him and think what if some day my son has these problems and has trouble with relationships, I hope someone will come around tha tcan understand him. I feel bad for both of them, I could not imangine having to deal with this on a daily basis. He will sometimes take muscle relaxers to get himself to slow down, but then he is like azombie, I told him he needs to find a way to regulate himself, to learn some coping skills since he was never taught. I know it has got to be hard, but I will help him and be there. I thank you so much for the information, my son has SPD but he can't really tell me how he feels yet or how to cope. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!
