[QUOTE="Rannveig, post: 375631, member: 5689"] I don't have Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), but that kind of noise would upset me as well; I sympathize with your son! That said, depending on his age, maybe what he said came across as rude to your neighbor? And then maybe the neighbor reacted emotionally and defensively. I think what the neighbor said was very inappropriate and stupid (and I would tell my child that later in private), but I'm just trying to understand how this unpleasant exchange could have happened. Would it be possible to approach your neighbor and explain where your son's exclamation came from and ask if maybe your two families could get a fresh start, including due regard for the child's sensitivities? But I think what you say to the neighbor is less important than what you say to your son, who will have to deal with insensitive bullies for the rest of his life (as we all do). I would dissect what the neighbor said with my child and make sure he understood how patently absurd it was and that it wasn't the way our family looks at these matters. This is a skill your son can use in future to diffuse the pain from people's callous behavior. At least, it seems to have worked with my kids. Sincerely, Ranny [/QUOTE]
