Some of the parents from our support group brought up the idea that we should include more stories from different families affected by SPD. Since SPD has such a large spectrum, it might be hard for one family to identify with our stories, but they could relate more to another family's SPD story. Between all the parents in our support group we cover all the forms and ranges of severity of SPD. Thank you for the idea. Let the stories begin:
