Anonymous asked: It's actually none of those. SPD stands for sensory processing disorder or sensory integration. I have had it since childhood and it's caused a lot of problems and with autism and other learning disabilities running in my family, it just leads me to believe that I may have it either that or it causes me some serious issues.

Ohhh.  I was diagnosed with it when it was called Sensory Integration Dysfunction.  They keep changing the name of it.  My brother and I are both autistic and both also have that.  The thing about SPD is that it can stand alone, but it can also be an outgrowth of autism – not a thing of its own, but like… when doctors look at an autistic person they might pull apart a few bits that are actually autism, and call them SPD because it may get services or because they really don’t see it as part of autism even when it is.
