Ds2 is 10 and has ASD with SLD. We started homeschooling him in Sept and since then his language has come on quite a bit - he is using single words more frequently, has a wider vocab and is putting words together into short phrases at times. His receptive language has also improved - today he answered a 'where is?' question for the first time ever. His home school programme is based around Intensive Interaction and as such is very play-based and child-centred.
About two or three months ago he started to say 'stop stop' occasionally when I was talking to someone else, or when DH or I were talking to DS1 in the car. This has increased recently to the point when he will try to stop us having any sort of conversation when he's in the room - he just shouts 'stop stop stop' continually and gets angry if we ignore him. Have taught him to say 'stop talking' which he'll do with a prompt, but this doesn't help and have also tried giving him attention, which I guess is what he wants. Well either that, or our voices grate on him in a sensory way, which is quite possible too.
Anyone else experienced this and what did you do about it? Tbh it's beginning to drive me mad - even though I know it's probably a sign of development and should be looked at positively!
