Do i have spd ???

Hi,

I am thirteen years old and I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is an actual problem or if it's nothing serious and I'm just overreacting.

When I was younger I had a serious problem with things that swung or dangled. It's gotten better now but sometimes I still have problems with this. I HATE swings at parks because they never stop swinging. I don't like wind chimes, CEILING FANS, or those punching bags that dangle from the ceiling.

I also don't like it when a lake is very wavy. It just annoys me to the point where I have to look away. That's why I hate motor boats because they cause so much disruption to a lake. I need lakes to be calm and still.

Also, another very minor thing is that sometimes I cannot stand loud, blaring music.

The thing is that these problems have never really made me self-conscious or have a learning problem. I do fine in school. No one even notices these things but my parents and myself. Other than that, I'm not affected by them socially.

So could I maybe have SPD??? Because so far I've been doing fine through life without a therapist or special help.
