I'm sorry that I didn't see that episode. There are so many people out there that don't understand or take the time to understand SPD. People need to know the difference between SPD, Autism Spectrum Disorders and mental illness!<br /><br />I am definitely going to write Oprah about this particular episode. My 12 year old son and I have SPD. We are both more apt to hurt ourselves before hurting someone else. As a coping skill, he and I will cover our ears, scream and/or leave the situation and go for a walk.<br /><br />Not ONCE has my son ever hit me or attacked me in any way! And, I don't every spank or hit my children. There is definitely something else wrong with that child. I can only pray that he gets the proper medical help!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673644249633807062noreply@blogger.com
