Just wanted to let you know that I feel the same as you. My son was diagnosed with PDD at the age of 4. He also has SPD and has hypotonia. I have learned so much from him since he was diagnosed. Now I am feeling out of control since my daughter has been born. She is super SPD (me-5x). To top it off, I am a middle school science teacher. So when I come home to my kids, I feel like I am going to snap. There are days when I have locked myself in the bathroom and explode because I couldn't handle it anymore and I had two more hours before my husband would get home (long commute to work). I try to control it but it is hard. My husband is still learning about SPD and needs constants reminders that this is how I am wired.

It is hard and it is a learning process. Try to step away only if it is for a minute. Take deep breaths, play relaxation music--anything. My thing is having the FAN on. It is my white noise. As soon as it turns on-I feel better. Same with the sound of beach waves.

Last but not least and I find that it always helps---get them outside and you outside. They will run and get their sensory fix and you get fresh air while they run their butts off.

Hang in there and know you are not alone
