[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 38284, member: 3647"] I think, if it is a sensory issue, it is the TYPE, or TIMBRE of the noise, that affects the child. My difficult child has a kaniption fit if we go under a viaduct while a train is going overhead, but can sit by the train tracks as the trains go by all day. The fire alarm at the school has no affect on her, but the air raid siren (which is a mile away) drives her batty. She can listen to the TV at full blast, doesn't flinch if she is yelled at, and yells louder than any kid I have ever heard. But when the guy down the road with the loose fan belt is coming home, she can hear him 2 minutes before he arrives, and she has her hands on her ears. One constant is if there is too much of ANY type of noise, she gets overstimulated and she cannot tolerate that. Who knows what makes something intolerable for her. But that type of thing can be seen in her other senses too...like how she can punch herself in the head, but screams bloody murder if I try to brush her hair. [/QUOTE]
