Kadyn's Story
Kadyn Sarah was born, along with her twin Brynn on January 7th 2010 at 5;02 AM. Weighing in at 3lbs 9oz. She was born 2 months early. She spent the first 5 weeks of her life in The NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). When she came home she was happy, healthy, and so cute :). Other than a few febrile seizures life was great. She had a few developmental delays, but nothing much. One being she didn't walk until the age of 16 Months. Around the age of 1 we started little quirks about her. She didn't want anyone to hold her except Me and Mom. She didn't really liked to be touched. She was afraid of heights (you couldn't lay her on restaurant changing tables or she would freak out). Around the age of 2 a few new quirks started showing up. She didn't like to make eye contact, wasn't interested in people, and had very articulate speech. She was learning very quickly though; she knew her alphabet, numbers, colors, and shapes. Puzzles were very easy to her. When Kadyn turned 3 was when we really knew what we were dealing with. She had meltdowns over minor things like wanting to be in front of you when she walked. She started lining up toys and social interaction was very hard for her. She HATED being touched, washing her hair, brushing her hair, wiping her butt, and brushing her teeth. She had the hardest time falling asleep. In late 2013 all of the pieces started to fit together. She hates Loud Sounds, Uses repetitive language and rituals, Lines things up, has meltdowns, Has to have a specific routine, when traumatic events happen so does regression. Also, she has excessive fears. She won't step on cracks, is afraid of heights, scared of grass touching her, doesn't like to play on playgrounds, afraid of bugs and moving animals. Kadyn has never been diagnosed with anything, but we are sure we know what it is. We think Kadyn has Sensory Processing Disorder. Her IQ is 20 points higher than an average 4 year old. All of this stuff does interfere with daily life, but we don't let it bring us down. Kadyn loves Trains. Her favorite foods are Strawberries and Tomatoes. Her favorite color is pink and she wants to be a princess when she grows up. This is her story :)
