One of my very first memories is having a huge tantrum because my dad put my socks on wrong and the seam was rubbing on my toes. I always had to wear them inside out or they would hurt. As a child I was an extremely picky eater. I have always known there is something not quite right, but just put it down to a quirk of character as for the most part it never stopped me from living a normal life.
One of my big things is touch, and that has never changed. I don't like people touching me. The thought of strangers touching me makes me all panicky and even as I child I didn't like hugs or kisses from my mum or dad.
I am married now and have two beautiful little girls and touch is still an issue. I find myself getting angry when one of my children tries to hug me or even just sits right up close. I hate that I get angry, and I want to be able to kiss and cuddle them without that conscious effort to stay calm. It is wearing.
I started looking online and came across SPd and it rang some bells and I am hoping to find a way to help me so that kissing and cuddling my daughters isn't so much of a stressor for me.

Hi there. Welcome to the site.
Yes, I think it certainly does sound like SPD to me. The clothing, touch, and eating issues are all pretty trademark to having sensory defensiveness in the tactile and gustatory (taste) senses. I understand this can be pretty scary to learn about and hard to deal with, but coping with this is quite possible!
I guess the first question is to ask yourself how badly this is effecting you at this point. It sounds like it's effecting you a good deal, but it's important to ask yourself and move from there. The way to diagnose and treat Sensory Processing Disorder is through an occupational therapist (OT). Have you considered trying to find one? It can be hard to find one who is great and willing and able to help an adult with sensory issues, but it can certainly be done.
Take time to research this and get to know as much about it as you can. Even if you don't have an OT, it can be crucial to find out how this effects you and then to learn ways to help cope with the difficulties it creates. It is possible to, even as an adult, begin to treat SPD and see benefits.
Again, welcome to SPD Support. I hope you are able to get what you need out of being a member here.
Hi, welcome to SPD Support! Have a free cyber hug!
