Sensory Processing Disorder: Ambiguous but Real

“[When] incidents look like bad behavior. We often quickly conclude that children who do these things are  spoiled, bossy or disrespectful. And that is what makes understanding sensory processing disorder (SPD) so challenging. Behavior resulting from SPD can look like a tantrum or discipline problem. And the remedies for dealing with the behavior tend to be counter intuitive. Which is why it’s a disorder often undiagnosed and untreated. Sensory disorders, like many autism spectrum disorders, remain somewhat obscure to most people.” – UVA Health System Blog
