[QUOTE="Shari, post: 131192, member: 1848"] Star, I can't recall how noisy it was. The video sounds like a lot of noise, but I recognize all of our voices (so 5 or 6 people of our family there) and the phone was on the table recording, so I don't know if there was really that much noise or just the location of the phone picked it up and made it worse. The restaraunt is fairly open and organized. They sell some non-breakable antiques there, also. Its geared towards the older crowd (we go there (ad nauseum, I may add) because its not like others where he for sure gets overloaded). We were there last Saturday night and we were the only people there, yet he was this same way (we did have to take the silverware away because he got to flinging it - not so much on purpose, it just got away from him with all the flapping and flying), but there is the kitchen noise, still.... I've never eaten to classical music, tho we do eat a lot of meals in front of the tube now (much to my dismay - I am NOT a fan of tv). He does watch tv now (he didn't used to at all) so you can sometimes get him to sit and eat while watching something he likes on tv. I do use classical music when he wont' sleep at night. Sometimes it will get him to sleep, sometimes not. I will also drive him around to get him to sleep, and I always put in the classical then, too, and it sometimes works, sometimes not. I also know when I keep him home because he's already overloaded, I pull the blinds, use lamps instead of ceiling lights (or none at all), and turn the heat up to 75 or better so its relaxingly warm - and he never argues about those things, which I think help him calm down.
