Trauma & Sensory Processing Disorder

[LaurelLeaves]

I stumbled across this page: https://www.eti.training/single-post/2015/03/15/The-Egg-and-the-Chicken-Trauma-Sensory-Integration

It say that Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and trauma are linked.  It says they don't know if having SPD made them prone to having trauma, or having trauma cause them to have SPD.  But I totally agree with this article that this has not received enough attention!

I know in my life I think the trauma caused it.  Trauma caused me to avoid sensory stimulation at a young age... and not having anything to process made me bad at it.... at least that what I figure.   

People often associate SPD with Aspergers, and can misdiagose it with ADHD or ADD.  And I've wondered about those things too in the past.    But I feel now that I just have trauma-caused SPD.
