And yet another article discussing whether Sensory Processing Disorder is real or sheer quackery. You folks know what I think! And while it’s sometimes tough to read articles that minimize the issues my sons have had, I also believe discussing these issues will bring them to the forefront and help with future studies as well as acceptance.
“Part of the challenge is that sensory problems tend to overlap with other disorders… and they can also occur in otherwise normal toddlers, too. On the one hand, advocates for SPD complain it often goes underdiagnosed, swallowed by other conditions because it is not understood by the medical community. Kids are frequently undertreated, even inappropriately medicated, due to a lack of information and training, they say. On the other hand, skeptics worry that families who pour all their efforts into popular but unproven therapies risk wasting time and money on what could turn out to be regular growing pains, or delaying a diagnosis of some other disorder, which requires entirely different treatment.” – New Republic
