My 2.4 year old absolutes hates loud noises like the vacuum cleaner, lawn mower etc he screams, shakes, cries and hides.. so we stopped a long time ago doing these things when he is awake or at home. He also hates having his hair touched, he screams and throws himself on the floor if we have to cut it, he comes out in hives he gets so upset.
Is it normal for a toddler to have these sensory issues? Or is it potentially ASD?
He is behind with speech but has about 100 or so words, so not non verbal and he can definitely has meltdowns which usually include scratching, but he is improving hugely compared to last year. I’m not sure if that is him just understanding the world at his own pace or again other signs of ASD
