This group is for parents of children with sensory processing issues either due to autism or with out autism. My son is 9, and I have been dealing with SPD for over 7 years. I know there is a great group already out there, but they meet in Durham, and I would love something a little closer to home. If you are interested in sharing tips, information, ideas or just need someone to talk to once in a while, this is what I hope this group will become.
