Voices may not trigger brain's reward centres in ASD

Makes sense to me

Must be why DS1 is so keen on telling everyone to shut up, unless they're telling him he can have All The Lego.

And there seems to be a large crossover with the areas of the brain and neurotransmitters involved with ADHD - also not a surprise.

yes makes sense to me
ds definitely doesn't like the sound of the human voice as he tells us to stop talking all the time

I suppose you can consider who benefits from your talking to our ds's.

Usually it isn't them. We're asking questions for our benefit, dictating for our benefit etc.

Now if the majority of our communication was 'would you like some chocolate?', 'there are some bananas in the bottom of the fridge' then that might be different.

Absolutely!!
