But the writer of that article also says " but given the fact that few,( if any,) adult patients have sensory integration disorder" , which is odd to say the least , seeing as so many adults on WP and elsewhere , have exactly these problems!!

I think what he is doing is referring to official diagnoses. In the U.S., only occupational therapists can diagnose a person with sensory integration dysfunction/sensory processing disorder; and occupational therapists primarily diagnose children with that (alleged) condition.

As he says, "Few pediatric neurologists believe that SID [SPD] is a real diagnostic entity."
