I've always approached talking about SPD by how it differentiated from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other conditions. But now that R has been officially diagnosed, it's time to switch gears and talk about ASD and SPD hand in hand.
But because there is a lot of websites and blogs out there with info on ASD, I feel I do not need to rehash them in this blog. I've also talked about before on how children with ASD also exhibit SPD symptoms and behaviors. So do read up on that if you like.
If you want to know more about the condition, please refer to the following links:
Now, I advise you to read up on ASD before coming back to read my review of a book I picked up over the weekend, because it'll be very helpful to understand what it is before I ramble about it, especially since I will be using some unfamiliar terms such as stimming.
Okay, we're good?
Let's roll.

To start this review, let me state that I did not get this book for free. My husband and I bought it while we were at the Manila International Book Fair 2017. So I hope that will put some thoughts of bias to rest.
Also, as a disclaimer of sorts, I will state that all that will be written from here on are my personal opinions and are not, in any way, meant to be taken as gospel truth or medical advice. I am not a medical practitioner or a child developmental expert. I am just a former teacher, a simple mother, a possibly autistic woman with a child who has autism.
