Autism- Sand Play & Loud Noises

Braden plays with the sand differently from his "normal" play. also a loud jet passing over scares him. We just began DMSA 3 days ago so he is more sensitive to sounds and textures.

What tune were you humming at the beginning?

[Adrenalyn]

I asked myself the same question and couldn't figure it out...

[TwilightLink37]

He just LOVES that sand, huh? My backyard is empty pretty much, but there's a shed, garden (duh!), patio and a table with an umbrella. How old is your son? He looks like he's 5.

[Adrenalyn]

He is 5. This sand play is called "stimming" it is something people with autism do to self-stimulate. Thanks for the comment

Just so everyone knows the bottle in my hand is a Green Tea soda, not an alcoholic drink.

There's a steel train comin' through I would take it if I could and I would not lie to you because Sunday

mornin' soon will come

When things will be much easier to say

Upon the microphone like a boss DJ

But I won't walk up upon the sea like it was dry land

Boss DJ ain't nothin' but a man

No trouble, no fuss, I know why..

It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice, it's so nice don't wanna hear the same song twice

[Adrenalyn]

Exactly! I didn't know you could hear me that well.. *BLUSHES*

I love SUBLIME <3

Autism.. Something about people who have this makes me think that their third eye is very clean. At times they see clearer then any of us.

you know those jets flying over your house are dumping heavy metals onto your property :S

i have aspergers i also like the feel of sand as long as it dry and i love swings too but drawing with squres are my favorite thing to do

[sniperlanders]

i dont know what is so cute

[Erkerkerk123]

he is very sweet :)

[magicalmiriam]

So cute, He sure does love the look and feel of the sand.

Gosh you have done well living so close to an air station i don't know how you could handle the constant loud noise.

That video really touched my heart :) My precious 2 year old little girl has Autism, and that video describes everything I think about her. People should be more aware of Autism and realize that our children are like all other little children out there, and not just a label. I loved the video it's just what I needed to see :)

used to be terrified at loud noises as a boy but now i love loud, blaring music, and just recently at 27 have seen rambo 4 and wasn't phased a bit by the loud bombing and sniper gun fire. i guess the older you get and more exposed you are to pandemonium, the more desensitized you are to it. at least with me. i used to be pertrified of thunderstorms and ballons, and movies like candyman as a boy but now it's just a day in the park to me and i can tolerate it.
