There are so many posts relating to situations of noise being avoided by children with autism.
However, DS5 (2.2 preDx Autism/PDD) loves to make noise - he 'drops' and tips over everything, pushes stuff over, scrapes and bangs anything he can get his hands on. Chairs, toys, cups, plates, tins and his favourite - pan lids on the hard kitchen floor, especially when they do that 'rolling like a penny' thing, and get faster and faster just before they stop flat on the floor, IYKWIM. the noisier the better, it seems...
Not had his hearing checked, but fairly sure its fine. He does have some sensory issues: hates socks, hates being naked, high pain threshold, light aversion, loves 'touching' stuff (usually with tongue) to feel the texture. And licks everything!
can anyone shed some light? we're running out of paracetamol
