Thank you for your comment ("More than one disorder")NEW by: Anonymous
Hello. I am thankful for the person who initiated this post and to the one who responded. We are currently trying to get our 6 year old daughter re-assessed. She was in Early Intervention when she was younger and while therapists mentioned SPD to us, they never really gave it as a diagnosis.
We had a casual conversation with a developmental pediatrician who told us that more often than not SPD accompanies other related issues like Autism.
It's good to hear another point of view.

Absolutely - SPD alone or in conjunction!!NEW by: Anonymous
Absolutely. Recently we had our son evaluated at the University of Iowa center for Disabilities and Development. We walked out with a diagnosis of SPD only. I was concerned that my son had Autism, ADHD and SPD based on feedback from non-medical professionals.
The SPD is frequently overlapped with ADHD and Autism, but my understanding is that more children have SPD alone than in conjunction.
