For awhile now, my husband and I have suspected something was off with B. He has meltdowns about the most ridiculous things. He cried the first time he touched grass and play dough. He hated the parachute at Gymboree. He hates taking baths and is a very picky eater! Once his clothes are on, he refuses to take them off. He also will not wear rainboots or a raincoat.
We were hoping he would outgrow it. Recently, we came to the conclusion that there was something more serious going on and we needed to get professional help. This is where we are now in our process of getting B diagnosed. Although he doesn't have an official diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder, there is no doubt in our minds that is what he has. We have talked to multiple professionals who feel the same way. So along with a new name, this blog will now have a new focus, the ups and downs of having a child with sensory processing issues.
