Why is my kid screaming? Sensory Processing Disorder, colorblind too


I have three children - they are now old enough to wipe their own butts, tie their own shoes, wash their own private parts which has frankly freed up enough of my time so that I can work again (joy).


At one time in my life I actually had three kids under the age of two and I was way too old for it (36 when I had the last one).  I had twins - and as if that wasn't intense enough - I managed to get pregnant right after they turned one with a third.  Needless to say, even though I had traveled full-time and been a high-level manager in a very stressful job – this was the hardest thing I had ever done – relentless – and really it still hasn’t ended.  These are the things that even though someone probably told you – you can’t remember when your body is saying “Have a kid….HAVE A KID” – that is what I wanted – A KID (that would be ONE KID) but instead I got three – all at once.  I didn’t go to the grocery store without a second adult for almost five years.

All of my kids have behavioral quirks - one more so than others.
