[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 591189, member: 1550"] Jamieh, honest, it is part of the disorder and he can't help it. Sure, we all wish our kids would not draw attention to themselves in odd ways and that they would behave "normally." But he can't. Not now. It really helped to just stay away from places where he stimmed worse, which made me think he was nervous. For a while, we didn't take him anywhere indoors. Yes, the park, where it's ok to make noise, but not malls or restaurants or museums. With Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids you really can't worry about what Joe or Jane think about your unusual child. I don't think he is trying to block out the noise although I admit I never thought of that. I just always figured he was stimming and I do believe that is what the noises are...a form of stimming. In my son, as stated before, this type of stimming no longer happens, but your boy is very young and hasn't even really been in treatment yet. Time is your friend, but don't rush him. That only makes the stimming worse (anxiety). Gentle hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
