The excerpt is from a mother named Brandy, who has a question about her daughter and sensory processing issues. Can anyone help her out?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Can anyone on this page tell me more about Sensory Processing Disorder? We know Ansley does have some sensory issues. She has never been diagnosed with SPD, and I am not sure if I should get a diagnosis. Why might I need a diagnosis if I believe she has this? Are there pros or cons medically for a diagnosis? What type of doctor would she need to see in order to get the diagnosis?<\/p>\n<p>On another note, she has the regular thoughts or feelings of things not feeling good as far as clothing goes. Coats that are heavy are not comfortable, 3\/4 sleeves are NOT comfortable, bows in the hair are not allowed, and jeans have to feel just right in the waist, etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>However, I have since learned that when she gets a small scrape, she acts like it is a horrible cut, and that could quite possibly be a sensory issue as well. Also, she gets very, very hot in the car but it is ONLY in the car and is almost always while I am driving (and rarely when my husband drives&#8230;.HMMM). She also gets nauseated and vomits in the car at times but does not get nauseated on merry-go-rounds, ferris wheels, roller coasters, swings, etc&#8230; I read this could also be a sensory issue.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to hear others&#8217; take on these things and opinions, as well as what other sensory issues your viewers may have. The reason I am curious is because for so long I thought my daughter was overly dramatic (I know, bad mom award for that), but I am learning it may be sensory processing disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Can anyone tell me how I would know the difference between SPD and car sickness, etc?? Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated!! I should say I feel like every day I am learning something new!<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/njcts.org\/tsparents\/mother-has-questions-about-sensory-processing-disorder\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following excerpt was posted on the A Little Bit Different: Tourette Syndrome Facebook page, which is run by RuthieP &#8212; a blogger for Teens4TS.
