[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 61576, member: 1991"] Lisa's hit the nail on the head, I think. I was betting it's the change, too. Also, when a kid has too many toys to play with he has to make choices, and every choice he makes means he has to choose NOT to play with something, too. This can really upset some kids. Also, difficult child 3 will melt down even if he's doing something he generally enjoys, if it means he will miss the episode of "The Simpsons" that he had expected to be home in time for. Or whatever it is - they get something in their head that things are going to be THIS way, and circumstances change - and it's meltdown time. Fluorescent lighting - possibility, it can get blasted annoying when it flickers in the corner of your eye (there is a good physiological reason for that - interesting) and this flicker can also trigger seizures in some vulnerable people, although I think the rate of flicker is generally too high to trigger very much. But annoy a susceptible kid enough and they will explode. I remember an annoying flickering light from my schooldays, teachers hated that room especially on Friday afternoons - the kids were always irritable. Marg [/QUOTE]
