[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 356437, member: 1991"] It still could be Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) with an overlay of SAD. I know how incredibly hypersensitive difficult child 3 is to the environment; but he plays so many computer games that he gets an overdose of light, I suspect! Just Thursday when we were driving in to the school and got stuck in heavy traffic, we had the car windows down and suddenly the car beside us, right outside the open window next to difficult child 3, had a high-pitched brake squeal. Not loud, but intense. difficult child 3 immediately grabbed his head and rocked, he couldn't stand it. I had been trying to get him to do some bookwork as we drove and he said, "That high frequency sound has set up really bad feedback in my head." A minute or two later he said his vision still had not cleared - I knew the high frequency sounds upset him but I never realised they even affected his vision. And not all high frequencies - only some specific ones. Other loud noises are not necessarily a problem - we have some fairly major thunderstorms here and difficult child 3 has always been fine. And as a baby, he loved bagpipes. Bagpipe music would soothe him to sleep when nothing else would. Oh yes, and Oak Ridge Boys! (I had my good friend, difficult child 3's godmother, leave the house because Oak Ridge Boys was playing and she HATES that kind of music with a passion!) SO Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) can be very complex and highly individual in how it affects the child. Marg [/QUOTE]
