SPD

Causes pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, often with pregnant women; can also cause pain in related areas, such as the lower back and hips.

SPD is a term used in medical, educational, and parenting communities to describe difficulties in processing sensory information. People with SPD may be overly sensitive to sounds, textures, lights, or other sensory inputs or may not respond to these stimuli as expected. The disorder can affect daily activities, social interactions, and overall comfort in various environments.

Parents, therapists, teachers, and individuals with SPD often use the acronym when sharing experiences, seeking advice, or explaining behaviors related to sensory challenges in online discussions about symptoms, coping strategies, and therapies. For example, a parent might post in an online forum, "My child has SPD, so loud environments can be overwhelming. Does anyone have good alternatives for loud learning environments?" While SPD is not officially classified as a standalone medical diagnosis, it is widely recognized within neurodivergent communities.
