[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 241964, member: 3419"] Hi again, MDL. It sounds like you already have some good interventions in place. I'm glad you have an appointment, even it if is in March. I hate it that it takes so long for these things. Ask a lot of pointed questions. Take notes!!! My son is 12, and while I've figured out most of his triggers, there's always a new one. Not to dissuade you, but just to let you know that it's a lifetime thing. I read recently that giving kids sunglasses to wear when you go into an area that is lit by fluorescent lights can really prevent meltdowns. Likewise, maybe earmuffs or even a soft, stretch knit hat that pulls over his ears might help with-noises. I'm assuming he does not like fireworks! My son hates it when I talk from another room, but since he jumps and gets upset if I sneak up behind him (Which I'm not doing, but that's his perception), I have to say his name as I'm walking toward him. Then he'll yell "WHAT?" in a mean voice, but at least he doesn't melt down. I just take it one issue at a time. I read all sorts of books and get excited to try everything, and have learned that it's better to work on one behavior at a time. Don't expect to learn all his triggers in 2.5 days flat. ;) [/QUOTE]
