My nephew has Fragile X and SPD, when he was diagnosed I read as much about it as I could. Have worked in education, I think more educators need to make themselves aware of this issue.

What a gift you are giving to your readers! Insight into your life and support for those who are also dealing with the challenges of SPD. I have a friend with a son that is starting on this journey of life and reading your stories will surely help me understand their struggles.

I am soooo glad you are doing this series. I have been dealing with this with my oldest for several years. Even though I am trained as a physical therapist it took me awhile to realize what it was. We had some very frustrating times when I was blaming poor behavior and it was really my poor boy’s nervous system out of control. So many people are dealing with this and don’t realize it. And the added bonus is that alot of the calming techniques work on non-SPD kids in a pinch! I can’t wait to hear about your experience. These stories are rarely boring!

I’m so glad you are writing about SPD. I’ve always wanted to know more about Fiver’s world. And I’m sure there are other parents out there wondering what is going on with their children that will be able to connect with your words and experience.
