Thank you for the post on The Mighty. I have an almost 4 year old with SPD, and I swear every time I leave the house he melts down and I get the stares from random strangers (and a few unkind comments at least twice a week), and I’m so far beyond exhausted. It’s so hard to be a good parent to one of these little guys. Thank you.
Meg, thank you for reading. We are never alone! It gets easier the older they get, I promise. Mine is 8 now and it’s worlds better than it was at four. <3
