I am in fact just becoming aware of this and I know very little about it even though I am 36 actually. my own family is like that too and in fact they just continue to stereotype me acting like I am a freeloader and nothing could be further from the truth. I know how you feel from experience I wish I never had and even now I would rather just understand what SMD or even SPD is then to waste my energy trying to get through to them about their obvious misconceptions.
Yeah, it can be such a struggle to explain it- a friend of mine has the unfortunate habit of being very touchy-feely, and I have to stop myself from screaming at her (and I'm really slow to anger).... It hurts, physically, and no matter how I explain it, she just "forgets". My mum has been getting better about understanding it, and now I'm allowed to listen to my ipod when we're out shopping (though only after a meltdown at costco)....
What's your SMD like? I'm mostly touch/contact, but sound can really bother me.
