Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

Found this helpful chart on facebook, thought it was a good share:

Children with ASD often times have SPD. LJ was diagnosed with SPD as well. This chart is not meant to diagnose your child, but rather to give you an idea of what your child's sensory needs may be. It's possible to be a combination of these as well. LJ tends to be mostly sensory seeking, but when it comes to loud noises, bright lights and food textures, he is over responsive. If your child hasn't been diagnosed with SPD, but has some of these symptoms, then I would suggest you seek and eval by an Occupational Therapist. They are qualified to diagnose your child.
