Two year old son....

I am writing this to reach out to other parents who children may have SPD...I started looking into this site after a plan ride to visit the in-laws..my son has such a hard time getting comfortable he was in the aisle on the floor trying to get to sleep..screaming for well over half hour never getting comfortable...at the end of the flight a women says to me he has sensory issues, I laughed it off and said well you have to pick your battles especially on the plane.

THen I start reading and OMG he has sooo many of these symptoms especially the sleep difficultys. He screams and is so irritable before going to sleep, gets up several times a night. As far as some other things he hates lights, the sun, wind anything on his face, has to have clothes on wants all tags off his clothes if we can get him to wear any. He has tantrums several times a day and now that we are on vacation out of our environment he's been completely unbearable screaming the car for no reason for over 45 mins nothing consoles him. It's so frustrating and I don't know how to help him??? I have went thru the checklist and I definitely think once we get back home it's worth mentioning to the doctor.
