I am a stay at home mom to a preschool aged daughter and toddler son. Both of my kids have SPD but one is sensory seeking and the other is sensory avoiding. It can make for some crazy days in our house! I have a blog about our journey with SPD, MERLD, and pediatric feeding and eating disorders. Please visit us at www.littlebabyfields.blogspot.com

My name is Lindsay, I am a late 20's something single mom to one little Princess. Keeping Emma healthy, regulated and happy are my number one goal. Our days are full of school, OT, PT, Swimming Lessons and socialization. Somehow I manage to find time to run a photography business and work part time at a drug rehab for moms. Right now we are both taking everyday a day at a time. It's a crazy life but I wouldn't change it. **My blog has been set to private due to some hateful comments I started receiving from my ex-husband and his fiance. Send an email to lindsaybartholomew26@gmail.com if you want to check it out! We would love to have ya! :)

Karen Mayes lives in Charlotte, NC with her husband and two energetic boys. She worked in the field of finance and data research but in 2010 her life abruptly changed courses. After her oldest son was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder, Karen turned to writing as an emotional outlet and to educate others on the disorder through her son’s and family’s experiences.

A professional working mom with two wonderful little boys named Aidan (8 1/2) and Roan (4). I live in Los Angeles, CA with my husband Ned. Both my boys have unique needs. Aidan has asthma and anaphylaxis shock to dairy and unknown causes. Roan has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) challenged daily with sensory issues.

My name is Tiffany. I live in Utah with my husband, Tyler (video game programmer) and my two kids Calvin (5) and Donovan (2). Calvin was recently "diagnosed" as being on the autism spectrum (still figuring out whether it's AS, HFA or PDD-NOS) and ADHD. I work from home as a children's book illustrator and manage my own business making custom made sensory toys and products sold at http://www.tiffanylagrange.com

A SAHM of two special needs boys. DW (6yrs old) has Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, OCD, SPD, generalized anxiety disorder, etc. JD (3yrs old) has auditory processing problems, mild speech delay, motor delays and SPD too. Both have food protein intolerances, as well as food allergies and sensitivities. Neither of the boys' SPD is similar, so I am back to the drawing board and starting out as a SPD newbie again! So, life is never boring in this house!

Current W.A.H.M. and wanna-be writer/blogger. Fireman’s wife, which equals part-time single mother. Embracing my son’s SPD, sharing my concerns, fears, and triumphs, while learning from other mothers. My two delicious boys are dealing with allergies, speech issues, SPD and Dysgraphia.

Kristen Seattle, Washington, United States I am 32 years old and blogging about our journey. We have two amazing little boys, ages 3 and 5 and are learning more about Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) every day with them. I have a great husband, and family & I am almost 3 years Cancer Free!

I am a stay-at-home mom living in Tennessee with my husband, 4 year old son; diagnosed with SPD, and my 2 year old daughter.

I'm a SAH mom of a major sensory seeker! Our daughter was diagnosed with SPD at the age of 3 (along with some other special needs) and she is now closing in on 8. Never a dull moment around here!

Hoi! I'm Mägi. I'm 20 now and have only been diagnosed with SPD for around a year. And an amazing year it's been! I am currently on a path of discovery, more than anything else. I keep having realizations of events that happened when I was younger that would have been linked to SPD. Quite honestly, I was the child from hell. I was the Princess of Tantrums. I'm here to communicate with the moms who have kids who might have been like I was. I can be the articulate voice, sometimes, for what's going on. It's a bit of an emotional process for me as I go through my childhood, looking for answers and explanations, but it's helping me better understand who I am and how I can be a better person.

Jaimee is a busy stay-at-home mom to three young boys (ages 6 1/2, 5, and 2 1/2). She writes a blog about her oldest son's journey with SPD, which is shared with anxiety disorder, OCD tendencies, symptoms of ADHD, and an almost-diagnosis of Aspergers. Her blog touches on evaluations, therapies, and medication, as well as day-to-day challenges and successes. Besides being a home and family manager and blog writer, Jaimee has a degree in Art History and feeds her love of all things creative by being an active craft artist. She is working toward launching an on-line shop of handmade items, with the dream of designing a line of sensory-friendly dress-up costumes for kids.
