@mumenschantz Well then cool. It still exists! Just as ADD and ADHD exists. Same with Bipolar. If they had an evolutionary advantage then thats cool. But in a modern society they need special care to keep up with the others!
Why don't you help her? If she does have Aspergers as you suspect why not take matters into your hands instead of letting them fall, try holding their hand (metaphorically speaking) Talk to them. Go have a friend of yours and their kid have play dates or something.
My son does this too...he is going to be three and now (meaning this week) am I aware of a lot of his behavior. I thought he was being defiant but I'm learning how to understand. Thank you and now I know I'm not alone.
Thank you all for everyone's input! I am so glad that I did these videos despite my reservations at the beginning when she was younger. These videos helped me to get her help early on, and I have learned over the years how to help my daughter in these situations. While she still sometimes says she feels like an outsider in social situations, she is learning how to cope with her neurological differences as she matures. Today she is a beautiful, kind, and healthier child.
I am very grateful for having Asperger’s Syndrome. It has been a valuable asset. But it did make childhood harder for me. I think it is a little easier today because of the greater awareness.
For an aspie, I liked playing in gym, but when kids bent or broke the rules... It made me very, VERY uncomfortable... I feared the structure of the game would fall apart and it would all become chaos.
My son was like this. They thought he was nuts in his grade school because he said the 'walls were making too much noise' which turned out to be the hot water pipes that provided the heat in the school. But this was back in the 80's and he was never properly diagnosed as a child.
My daughter does the same thing and gets ao upset with too many noises going on. She puts her hands over her ears like this little girl did, she even runs the same way. I am worried that my three year old could possibly be on the autism spectrum scale. She does weird things like biting her sleeve of her shirt, and getting super upset when he food breaks like cookies breaking in half, or a piece of cheese that broke off. Does anyone know what this means? What should I do?
@ILUVHORSES1981 I think that you maybe should test her. Maybe go see a doctor, that's the only way to know for sure. Those who are diagnosed with autism shows unusual signs (such as these) even before the age of three. Does she walk around on her toes, wave her arms or organanize her toys? How about avoiding eye contact? or does she have any unusual trouble sleeping? My advice is to do some research on aspergers.
Excellent example of an early sign of possibly (note, possibly) being on the autism spectrum. Noticing little (or not so little, but not yet understood) things like this can make a big difference. The earlier a child is diagnosed, the earlier their unique needs and abilities can be understood. Thank you!
I'm 64 .. I can't stand those noises either, but never realized how sensitive I am to sound until the past 10 years or so .. I've been that way all my life. If I can get out of the stress of the nose (as she did when she ran around with the other girl), then the stress is less .. but there is a feeling of wanting to run off when I hear that much noise generally. If there were more people to absorb the sound, it might make a difference.
My son attended music and movement class when he was 4. I was not allowed to be in the classroom so I was standing behind the door eavesdropping to hear if he was participating. What the other kids found extremely amusing was hell for him.He sat at a corner and sometimes burst into tears.Experts advised not to stop attending cause he would think he was no good. So we let him do what he wanted to do during class.I couldnt stop crying behind that door sensing how isolated he was feeling.
@Nectariamech My son is having issues in kindergarten right now with uncontrollable crying in class. He gets hysterical & they have to remove him from the class. He cries if he loses something or sometimes it seems for no reason & they can't get it out of him why he's crying. I attended a field trip tpday with him & his class & I watched one of these episodes at the school before we left, he just seemed disturbed about something. I'm worried about aspergers but not sure yet.
@Anglynn74 I would strongly advise you not to jump into conclusions about Asperger. You have to see many of the Asperger's signs, which have to be constantly present, in order to establish a true belief that there is an issue. Before you drive yourself crazy, maybe you should take into account : 1)Is this the 1st time the child is separated from you? 2)Is he used to being with many childeren? 3)Does the child live in a calm environment at home? 4)Does he sleep and get all the rest he needs?
@Nectariamech You are right. We're trying to consider all routes as much as we can including the few you mentioned. He never attended pre-school so he hasn't been around a large group of kids other than at the park or on the playground, he is an only child as well. There's so many things to consider I guess I worry too much. He does have an issue with loud sounds however when I vaccuum or use a hairdryer it doesn't bother him. Sometimes he actually seems bored with school.
@Anglynn74 I hope (and from what you say here I guess it's true) there is nothing going wrong. Maybe you have a gifted child which sometimes is the reason to get him excluded of the ordinary groups the rest of the children make.
@Anglynn74 If you have all the evidence you need or if you can't get this question out of your mind just visit an expert (and I mean the very sense of the word "expert") to have your child evaluated. If the child is very intelligent, or the problem is really minor, it is difficult to tell if you have to deal with Asperger. For my son it was necessary to have the teachers reply to questioners and sent a doctor at Kindergarden to observe his behavior in order to come to a conclusion.

@vainbrain17 If this video doesnt have anything to say to you just watch something else. After all you abviously dont know how it tis to have an Aspie kid and it seems you are convinced you wont have to deal with any trouble with your child/childern ever. I honestly wish you wont have to.
My son is 3 years old and does that alot. We cant even take him to church because he screams when the music and preaching starts. Says it hurts his ears and yells for who ever or what ever is making the noise to hush.
@19952009myangelgirl Try sitting in the foyer - I do that and its much quieter. Many large churches also have a soundproof "crying room" with speakers you can use. Just turn the speakers up or down to his comfort level.
@serenitysky18 no.. not me... but that was what i was like as a child, very much so from what im told and my inability to handle crowds excesive noise etc.. and of course being in my own world most of the time .. sory for the confusion :) xx
My daughter reacts the same when toilets flush in bathrooms, or when a commercial comes on tv that's louder than the regular show. SHe will also scream "Too loud mom!" while covering both ears.
@darcyjimenez Look up Sensory Processing Disorder... Atlhough you will find a lot about touch and taste, audio is also an area that can cause troubles.
@darcyjimenez yes it sounds like your little girl has Sensory Processing Disorder. My 4 year old daughter is the same way she will do the same thing. if we are in the car and a song comes on that is just a tad bit louder then the last one she will scream "TO LOUD MOM, TURN IT DOWN" Even though we can barly here it. and it is realy bad in the store I can only bring her to one side of walmart unless we will be in the other side for a few minuets. she doesnt like Grocery side because of noise level
@jsrcamp My BFF has a son who is 4 and he wont talk.
