Guest guest Posted February 25, 1999 Report Share Posted February 25, 1999 > - My son Kent has sensory sensitivities, including auditory. He is now 24 and feels in control of this part of his life. He takes a book with him when he is in public, especially restaurants and reads if the noise is bothering him. As long as he can focus on his reading, the noise remains tolerable. He is also more sensitive to the higher pitches and the unexpected ones. I hope you were warned about not using ear phones of any sort after her auditory training. If it is the type that I am thinking of. Ear phones will undo the positive effects of the training. I have a friend who has had the training, along with her autistic son. She raves about it.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 1999 Report Share Posted February 28, 1999 , Oh yeah, my so with autism has/was worse/ with severe auditory sensisivities. In fact when he was younger(8 now) he could knew where the elictricity came into the house, he will not eat if the range fan is on. I realize now that just beacause he did not respond or have learned to try to figure out what he is telling me by his behaviors. I believe he goes through cycles where he hears to much . It is all to loud for him as he is hypersensitive to noise. Especially with a virus going on it then increases. I think he has learned to turn off his hearing if he has to because of sensory reasons. I also have heard that people with autism, my son's diagnosis, can only use one sense at a time. Meaning he can't process word to talk and listen at the same time.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 1999 Report Share Posted February 28, 1999 Hi, Alycia is also sensative to loud noise especially annoying background noise like static, fans, crinkling paper etc.. She often tells me that I am talking to loud even when I use a normal conversation voice and she will complain is the TV is staticy. She has a sensory hearing loss and I am told that this can make a person sensative to loud noise due to the nerve damage. In her case, I don't think it is an Autism or Sensory Integration issue...I think it is due to the hearing loss. She doesn't show any other real hypersensativities which you would think would be present if it were a SI or Autism issue. Although......her SI therepist disagrees. She says that Alycia has learned to cope with her sensativites because many of them were present as recently as last year (opposition to wind in her face, water being poured on her, soft caresses etc...she is a kid who hates soft touch but it seems to bother her less).

Guest guest Posted March 3, 1999 Report Share Posted March 3, 1999 In a message dated 99-02-25 11:30:45 EST, you write: << My daughter amanda, almost 7, has had severe noise sensitivities for some time now - and we tried to do auditory processing training several times with her. It seemed to help initially with focus and attenion, but then she " lost " those gains within 4 weeks anyway. Anyone else have this kind of auditory issue? It is severe, got to the point where she could not tolerate even going out of the house, she was so nervous about noise, especially high pitches, very loud, or very sudden. >> Dear : Our 21 year old daughter, Amy, has the same issues with noise sensitivity. She can't even stand the " tick, tick,tick " of the turn signal in the car. I have to turn it off or she covers her ears and says " Please, can't you turn off that racket? " We also have two adopted children who have FAS (Fetal Alcohal Syndrome.) They are both quite aggressive and VERY noisey people, with little care that their (seemingly) " spoiled " big sister gets EVERYTHING she wants. They argue a lot and are VERY verbal and loud. If I don't stay on top of this EVERY minute, Amy's dementia gets out of hand and she physically accosts the two younger kids. Yes, noise is a VERY real problem for us with Amy. Our 19 year old son, Shea, also is sensitive to noise, but his symptoms are much more mild. I am also sensitive to loud noise, but in my advanced age- state (45years old) am loosing my hearing...thank God for small blessings Lynnie Wife, Mother, Advocate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
