Autism is still a widely misconceived concept but Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) even more so. In my last post, Why Parents of Autistic Kids Get Judged and What to Do About It, I touch a bit upon the topic where I wrote: “78 percent [of those with autism] have problems related to sensory processing disorder (SPD) where things that most of us can easily handle, such as bright light, loud sounds, how different textures feel against our skin etc., can turn into a negative stimulus and become a major issue.” I don’t have SPD myself and therefore I don’t know exactly how it affects people. However, my sons do have some sensory related problems and thus, I want to elaborate on the discussion in my last post.
