I hope you find a lot of help here.

For me, the biggest thing that has helped was seeing an occupational therapist and getting a variety of coping mechanisms from them - the brushing protocol, weighted blankets, how to rearrange my day, etc.

I've found yoga useful, as well, for relaxing the body.

Hi, Rinne,

Thanks for your reply. I have heard of seeing an occupational therapist but I have no idea on how to start seeing one. I am thinking I will probably need a referral. I don't know anything about the brushing protocol. I know weighted blankets help me a lot. I am having to rearrange my day as well. Still working on that one! I haven't had much guidance. The neurologist that diagnosed me said basically that there was help for kids with SPD but that there was not much they could do for adults. She recommended a book to read: Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight by Sharon Heller, Ph. D. Have you read it? I have marked several pages. Still going though the rest.

God bless,
MystikSkye
