I found a center with great facilities for SPD kids. Their services are expensive but I just applied for a home-based job and if it pans out, I'd be able to send my son to the said center.

I cannot rule out autism at this point because one of my husband's nephews is autistic, albeit a high-functioning one.

I'll support and care for my son no matter what his condition is. I'm just new at this but I'm sure I'll be able to do better eventually.

There are no support groups for SPD families here. Glad to have stumbled on to this site.

I hope your job works out. I'm not familiar with how things are done in other countries, but if there is a center that treats SPD maybe they have some kind of financial aid or scholarships for families that cannot afford treatment? I think you will be able to find out a lot online to help you until you can get treatment again. Maybe your son has Asperger's (on the autism spectrum) there is a girl in my daughter's class that has Asperger's and she is very affectionate (and verbal). Like the one post said, sometimes children with autism are social and affectionate. Something to keep in mind when he is a little older. I know I have found there are so many more services in my state for children with autism than with any other disability. You're a good mom!
