[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 513055, member: 11791"] Just a side-comment on medications... I'm not sure where they fit at all with sensory processing disorder (SPD), that will be up to others to comment on. We found that once we had the right dxes, it was easier to find the right medications (but that isn't everyone's experience... sometimes finding the right medications is impossible). And the RIGHT medication will be... right chemical composition in the right delivery mechanism with the right timing and the right dosage for YOUR CHILD. If you get there? they are NOT "drugged". Me + 2 kids are all on stims - ADHD. We don't feel any different with the medications. But we do ACT different. The medications somehow balance some other chemical or hormone in our brains... giving us enough time to "think" before we speak/act. The medications slow down our brain enough that we become more like those around us... so, on medications, we blend in better (and are easier to live with)... it's really only a problem if we don't have them. Know what I mean?? But - in my opinion - you're still too early on that path of figuring things out, to really be jumping into medications yet. [/QUOTE]
