Re: New RSS Characteristic??

[Guest guest]

......yes, Imogen has this problem. Movies and shows are always a problem

which is such a shame for her as these are nice things! But earplugs??? Why

didn't I think of that????? Mind you...the earplugs would have to be miniscule

sized to fit her teeny ears!!

It's pretty interesting to note that other RSS kids are sensitive to loud

younger he would sit in my lap and I would cover his ears with my hands.

Then I discovered the wax ear plugs that swimmers use, so I kept a pair in

my purse. Nowadays, he can handle the movies but not loud music in the car

or the TV up too loud.

The ones I used were like a little ball of wax that you roll in your fingers

and then stick to the ear. You don't actually push them down inside the ear.

They were also reusable. I think there were about 18 neon colored balls of

wax in the little clear plastic case they came in.

- Actually, what you are describing is very common among the

general population. Some RSS children are sensory-sensitive --

often tactile and oral-motor -- and this may include a heightend

noise sensitivity. But nothing in the research shows that this is

specific to RSS children. My non-RSS son Tyler still is noise

sensitive. Has to wear earplugs for fireworks, etc. Cringes and

hides with loud noises, can't stand tags on the inside neck of his

shirt, has to have his socks and shoes fit " just so.... " UGH!!!!

Can drive me nuts sometimes!

--...I hate to agree lol but my 13 yr old non rss daughter

had a thing about the seams in her socks for ages!! She would fold

them over so that they were poking out of her shoes!! I suppose it's

too easy to attribute a lot of things to RSS!! Eileen- In RSS-
