Sound sensitivity - what to do?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My 4.5 yr old son with ASD cannot stand the cries/cooing/babbling or

for the matter, any sounds that his 9 month old baby brother makes.

I know a small part of it is behavioral, but I think he does have

issues with sounds. He is visibily very upset and tantrums even if

he hears any kid/baby screams when we take him outside eg: the

grocery store. It is impossible to have them both together in the

same room without his meltdowns. (If the baby is quiet, he is quite

loving to his baby brother). I am wondering if anyone has

experienced something like this and any suggestions to make him

overcome his sound sensitivity.

When I was searching on the web, I saw a technique called sensory

learning. I was wondering if anyone has experience with that. Also,

if there are nny biomedical interventions that might help with this

issue, please let me know. he is already on enzymes, codliver oil,

mb-12 shots, folinic acid, methylfolate, zinc, probiotics, vit C,

calcium. He has made huge gains with antifungal treamtent but it has

not helped with sound issues at all.

It will make life so much more maneageable if only they could be in

the vicinity of each other.

Thanks very much
