From existing in a box to living with the top down A balancing act

I am a 29 year old single mother. I was born with sensory processing disorder. I am amazed their are other adults out there like me that are aware of this issue.

My functioning has been severely disrupted through out my life. I am just learning how to properly function now. It has taken 13 years to even attempt to function well half the time. I've been looking for an occupational therapist that does sensory integration for adults but cannot find one.

I live on Long Island in NY. I would travel. I have found little ways to help me take my life back piece by piece. I need help with this it is so overwhelming for me. Luckily I have a high IQ and was able to graduate with an Associates Degree with a 3.85GPA after only attending 4 months of high school.

I grew up in horrid conditions but I am an adult now and learning. I only figured out I had this 6 years ago. For the passionate creator of this website May God Bless You! I have so much gratitude for this issue being brought to peoples attention.

PS- I would be willing to give you any information about what this is like as an adult or explaining this to parents. I am the "perfect" poster child to adult. I was blessed with great intelligence, talent and beauty what about the people that aren't as lucky?

As the technological age dominates our society people with sensory issues are effected tremendously. I have so much to say I almost don't even know where to begin...
