I feel really sorry for Taylor in this one. Since I got chronic fatigue, I've had hypersensitivity to sound & light & it's really painful! It's hard enough for an adult, it must be much worse for a child who you can't explain it to. I hope she learns to cope with this, or even better, it goes away, but I'm aware that autism isn't that predictable & can't be "cured". I'd be grateful if you'd let me know how she gets on with this.
@SuperMissblueeyes Taylor and Faith had their first day on Occupational Therapy today to help with their sensory issues. We are very hopeful. Maybe they will allow me to video some to post on here. :)
jeez I would not take that one in there; maybe takeout? I cant do those places and would get slowly depressed if Ihad no choice in it. Its awfully disempowering to melt down. Also food chems can take me from 'normal' to autistic in minutes.
Probably not a great idea feeding a sensory child food from McDonalds either... SPD's often have trouble with food additives and preservatives. I guess if you are dead set on taking her to noisy places for your own enjoyment you can invest 15 bucks to buy her some noise reduction headphones...
I have twin girls with SPD with hearing. Each other has a different tolerance level of different sounds. We can't go into McDonald's anymore due to the blender for the coffee drinks. Taylor is a cute and good luck for her future.
My son covered his ears and cried too at that age. Now he's 5 and can tell us when a sound is too loud, although sometimes he does still cover his ears and lose control a little. Firetrucks blowing their horns during parades were a nightmare for us - the other kids are always asking them to blow the horn and my kid would cry hysterically. Hang in there!!
my SPD child would scream and cry if he heard that. smoke alarms are the worst. he's 4 and his 2 little brothers just look around for the noise, or ignore it, but he screams bloody murder, grabs his ears, cries and tells me to make it stop.
She looks bored and ready to go. That noise would piss of any child normal or not, so would her family staring at her. If I stare at my 2 year old, strapped into a high chair, with a high pitch noise, he probably would react the same way. I am inspired, I will send you a video soon, and we will see how a "normal" child will be in that situation! She is very cute, by the way!

Poor thing.
My sisters boy has autism as well.
He doesnt react to noises very well either.
He will hold his ears, jump up and down and scream as this child does.
He also doesnt like being confiened (such as in a chair)
wish you the best
