Hi I am waiting for results of ADOS for my son so he is not officially ASD though I am expecting a diagnosis. One of the behaviours he is displaying is shouting out and making lots of different noises, some of this is acted out from things he may have seen on TV, cbeebies web etc. He does talk but is functional rather than conversational, ie can express what he wants ( or doesn't!) want to do. He can get v loud and I know this is one of the probs they are having in school and sometimes they take him to a quiet area. Any ideas on how to help him with this? Also, I can tell the class teacher is clearly irritated by it but I'm not sure she really gets that this may be part of his condition and I can't really say it at the mo either until we have diagnosis (in case we don't get it). Awkward! I'd really love to hear from anyone who has had had this issue. It's really difficult at the mo, he is making lots of progress in some ways but the quirky behaviours are increasing, I'm not sure how far you go to address these, where is the line between accepting/respecting and taking action. By the way, once I do have a diagnosis, I have a million more questions like this!
