[quote=Anonymous]For my family, SPD was not a helpful diagnosis. When we first became concerned with my child's social interactions, at age 4, we went to an OT because we didn't know any better and I had friends with similar concerns who had gone to an OT. Surprise, surprise, we got an SPD diagnosis even though sensory problems were not even close to leading my list of concerns. Nine months of OT later, we were still not any closer to overcoming the social problems. Several months after that, the school pushed us to go to a developmental pediatrician, where we got an autism diagnosis. We started appropriate therapy (not OT), and DC is thriving. I wish the OT had recommended a developmental pediatrician or we had known better from the beginning.[/quote]
