SPD is not something which affects you at certain times of the year, it's something you have all the time (that's why it's called "personality disorder" ). In short, people with SPD prefer to be alone, have few, if any friends, and don't show much emotion.
I've heard this called Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Unless we're talking about two different things.
