Lori lives in the Atlanta area with her husband of 16 years and their boys. Currently a stay-at-mom, Lori is a former medical office manager, PreK teacher and middle school foreign language teacher. Her younger son (5 yrs) was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder (sensory seeking and defensive) in November 2010 and his older brother (7 yrs) is scheduled for his OT consult next month. New to staying on the home front, Lori is rediscovering the gym (and her waistline), her kitchen and she hopes to be able to dust off some non-SPD books in the near future. Lori and her family are still working to find their sensory groove and looks forward to sharing their journey with others.

I am a single mom to a 2 year old through adoption who has SPD.

Hi, thanks for taking a minute to read this. I am a stay at home mom to some amazing kids. I have two daughters and a toddler son. Cameron is my son, he was born with a congenital heart defect known as hypoplastic left heart syndrome (half a heart), he is also labeled as failure to thrive and has sensory processing disorder. Blogging is a way for me to express my feelings towards his CHD, SPD & failure to thrive. Most people in my family don't understand or want to so instead I type about what is going on with my family/Cameron's life.

Married mother of 2 boys. 5yo Sam and 2yo Jonah. Jonah has recently been identified as having SPD and is a sensory seeker.

I am a single mom of a wonderful boy who is 7 and has PDD and ADHD. We live in the country with our two cats and 2 dogs and one fish. I am also in school earning my teaching degree in elementary and special education and I hope to be finished sometime in 2013.

Hi! I'm a 26yr old mommy from VA of 2 amazing children! Lucas is 2 and Makennah is 7months. Lucas was recently enrolled in OT for SPD and also speech therapy. Although he has not been "diagnosed" we are on a waiting list for a developmental pediatrician. I'm a stay at home mommy, so I have been with Lucas everyday so far of his journey. I love my kids more than life itself. Im joining this blog to get support and share peoples journeys and to find moms I can relate to.

I’m a tarot reader, my son has asperger’s, my partner and I are artists... I curse sometimes, I’m joyful often, but dreaming always. Balancing parenting a child who once licked the walls of every building that we entered with a crazy psychic intuition, which I’m often trying to ignore, and a career running a high energy office, is on its best days, a freaking dream… I mean a nightmare… no, a dream. Yeah. That.

Have two crazy and wonderful kids. My six year old chunky monkey has SPD. She's a joy, challenge and gift. My two year old son adores her and I suspect will spend the rest of his life trying to protect her. Alongside my incredibly supportive husband we are walking this journey called Sensory Processing Disorder. Thanks for reading!

Hello! I'm Debbie. Let me tell you a little bit about me and my wonderful family. My husband and I have been blissfully married for over 16 years. We have two gorgeous, funny, sweet and loving children (ok, so we're a bit biased). Our first born is now a sassy seven year old daughter who has enough energy to fuel the planet for the next 100 years. She smart and loves fashion and music. Our second, and last, child is a beautiful boy who is almost three and is Einstein smart...he also has SPD. When he is regulated (or as close as we can get) he is incredibly loving and an absolute comedian! We, as well as his 5 therapists, believe he has ADHD and OCD as well. He is extremely sensitive and will get disregulated at the flip of a coin And then take a month to get regulated again. My is husband is my "rock", my strength and my comic relief. As for me, I have been living with MS for the past 12 years. It has affected my cognitive abilities (I like to say I am Cognitively Challenged) which makes taking care of the little ones more of a challenge. Even though it is a crazy household with many health problems, our mottos are: . Never say "I can't", just ask "how else can I do this? . You can do and be ANYTHING...and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I am a mom new to the world of SPD. My 3 year old daughter has not been formally diagnosed but we take each day one step at a time while going through her many meltdowns and sensory issues that we encounter. I have come to this site to gain better understanding of the disorder, maybe make some new friends, and fully grasp the beauty and wisdom of these sensational kids.

I'm an extra-terrestrial being sent here to study the inhabitants of this planet and report my findings on "human beingness". I jest! I'm a 21 year old human with AS, SPD, and a plethora of other things. I get a kick out of long-boarding, riding roller coasters, and going to haunted houses to annoy the clowns. I have an obscene amount of obsidian in my possession. Not polished or anything. I see a shiny bit of volcanic glass outside...I shove it in my pocket. I should probably invest in a rock tumbler.

I am a passionate mommy to two boys who are each gifts to the world in their own ways. My 9 year old was diagnosed with SPD when he was almost 4, but red flags were popping up for me way before that time. I knew something was "different" about my little man since he was 15 months old. It is my mission in life to educate the world about SPD. It is very real; it is very hard. It is hard for the child that struggles to cope in his/her own body, it is hard for the parent who feels empathetic yet exhausted and it is hard for the siblings who loose out on a lot of attention and time with their parents because their brother or sister has so many extra needs. Writing has always been a release for me! I join this blog as an outlet and because I need to be a part of a community who gets me and my boys.

Stay at home mom to three children, my beautiful princess Melinda Anne and two SPD boys, Allen Braden and Nicholas Macken. I was on the fast track at OSU medical school until I found myself expecting Lindy, and suddenly my priorities change. Now I spend most of every day helping my kids learn how to inhabit and contribute to this world we live in. Through the process of diagnosing my older son, I came to realize that I also have sensory issues. I have been in therapy for years for anxiety issues, but since discovering the SOURCE of my problems, I have made major progress and my two boys and I are together figuring out how to survive in spite of itchy socks and tired tongues.
