Hi
I have just read about SPD in the last couple of weeks when I was searching for help with my clumsiness. What a surprise to find that there is a link with this and the general irritability I have with many things. I am 56 years old, and as a child, I had many of the symptoms of SPD including taking a long time to learn to walk, having a very quiet voice that was unheard by others yet sounded loud in my head; constant headaches, and a desire to be away from other children as I found them too noisy. I spent many years of my adult life addicted to opiates which provided a buffer between myself and the sandpaper harshness of the world.
I am now drug free, and live in an isolated part of New Zealand where i live a life of growing our own food, and looking after chickens and having minimal contact with others.
My adult symptoms are the clumsiness which at times seems as if malicious pixies live in my kitchen knocking things off the bench and nudging things out of my hands. I cannot stand any artificial fabric on my skin and can feel the smallest grain of grit on my bed sheets.
I am looking for information about this way my brain works, and conversation with others with similar problems.
