I am a pediatric occupational therapist and a member of Sensory Processing Disorder Support group on Facebook. A mom recently wrote in that her son’s neurologist wanted her to come back in to discuss her son’s birth history, specifically regarding his low blood sugars at birth. The mom was anxious about the pending appointment and ask other members if any of their SPD kiddos has low blood sugars at birth. Almost everyone wrote in “YES” and wanted to hear what the neurologist had to say after their appointment which is scheduled for tomorrow. Have you ever heard of any correlation between SPD and low blood sugars at birth? I am waiting as are many others to hear what her neurologist says, but would appreciate anything that you have heard on this as well.

I have not heard of such a correlation. At this time, there is no known definitive cause of SPD.
