When I began writing, Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) was not yet widely known in the mental health profession. As a member of that profession, and a mother who has experienced it first hand, I wanted to share our journey with others. Thankfully, over the last 10 years the neurodivergent population has received a lot more understanding and these things are talked about more frequently.

Split personality
In one journal entry I wrote that Katie sometimes seemed like she had a split personality, being adorable one moment and seemingly possessed by demons the next. Christmas 2006 was one clear example of this. Katie was so excited! She couldn't know what to expect, but she could tell it was exciting. She stood in the center of the living room and spun around and around in circles, over and over and over. But within minutes of the family arriving she did a complete 180 and was a major grump for the rest of the day. I never did get a decent picture of her without the scowl. (see photo)
