Maybe just finding the reason is comforting on its own, like how you've discovered some of your reasons.
I don't want to "get better" I just want to be able to exist as an SPD without being bothered by a lot of people who are not, which basically means trying to live alone but otherwise participate in society. Knowing the sources of my SPD seems to help me believe that I am "normal" and that being SPD is just like being left handed or being a libertarian (that is, a member of a small group).
