]]> By: bob Boyce https://mommyevolution.com/what-is-sensory-processing/#comment-111244 https://mommyevolution.com/?p=16960#comment-111244 I also found this article needing more on the ‘seeking’ side to be a well rounded introduction to SPD.

I will also ask, while I think your elevator speech is pretty good for an introductory sentence, please, please, say person instead of child. SPD is not something that you grow out of, and while people learn to better live with it, us SPD adults are definitely out there! If you would like an adult’s perspective on living with SPD, I recommend https://eatingoffplastic.wordpress.com/

Usually, it is a child is hyper- or hypo- sensitive to each category and sometimes even mixed up across or within the categories (hyper-sensitive to sound but hypo-sensitive to touch). Some kids seek vestibular input and some avoid it to the max. Some kids won’t feel you touch their arm and some will think you hit them even if you lightly touched them.

As moms, we all become experts. But I don’t think the learning ever stops. My son is 9 and I’m still learning about his sensory stuff (as well as ADD and Dyslexia). Keep on pushing forward!

Also, I invite you to follow my other blog that focuses solely on Sensory Processing Disorder, which many kiddos with Autism also have. You can find it at http://www.thesensoryspectrum.com.

]]> By: Jade Walton https://mommyevolution.com/what-is-sensory-processing/#comment-94387 https://mommyevolution.com/?p=16960#comment-94387 I found this article very informative as my son has been diagnosed with autism so i am trying to learn as much as i can so i know the best way to help him. And a lot of things that have confused me or made me wonder why he reacts or has a full on melt down with some things well you have answered a few of them just with this one article. Im 27 and have an 8 year old daughter too. And i never thought this would be something that i would ever need to know about. My son who is the one that is autistic is 4 now and he got his diagnosis at 2 and half he has taught me so much himself and is still teaching me now. But i am still struggling with some things even now and i have read loads. I should be an expert but sometimes I still feel like i know nothing. So i welcome any information that could help as i wanna give my son the easiest life i can thankyou.

]]> By: ruth marchant https://mommyevolution.com/what-is-sensory-processing/#comment-94364 https://mommyevolution.com/?p=16960#comment-94364 Hi This is a great article, however I have to disagree with the Fancy Word for Hearing being “Auditory Processing”. Auditory Processing has nothing to do with whether or not a child can hear. Auditory processing refers to the way the brain processes auditory information.
