Do I have SPD?!

by Margaret
(Texas)

I am a high school student who is hypersensitive to noise. I had a phobia of flushing the toilet when I was younger due to the sound. I frequently have ‘panic attacks’ (my fight/flight response activated) in gym when basketballs bounce on the floor, or when there’s loud music playing. It feels like my brain is stuck/frozen like a computer with too many tabs open that is about to shut down.




During tests I get distracted by clocks ticking, electricity humming and people making tiny noises. I bought some noise cancelling headphones which help a lot.

Please respond if you can, I’d be grateful for any response!

I think that you are right. If you feel in your gut that something's wrong, or you're not just making it up, then you should believe it. I've been there, when my granddaughter was diagnosed with SPD and autism.

I would say yes. My son has SPD and he is exactly the same- he covers his ears all the time at school and at home. His teacher said he just had anxiety but he doesn't.
