I am getting so blooming frustrated!

mumof4boys772

So we have been to the audiologist he has confirmed my son has hypercussis and will be recieing specail hearing aids to help.

We are going on a socail communication course next week and the week after, my son cannot infer meaning from pictures,people or feeling as well as the rest of the blurb that fits the spectrum!

I have not posted everything as you will all have probably read my countless threads before,however i am getting so dammed frustrated that this can all bbe put down toautistic traits and sensory issues,how can it be possible when we have been living a life of hell for years?

So when they say autistic traits they could possibley be saying theres nothing wrong with him,wheres the help for the sensory issues?

I am getting so peeved,its been a long hard battle and i feel like i need to give up and not pursue what help he will need in the future.

    This is another thing that I have identified in myself and, since diagnosis, have linked it to the sensory issues that a lot of people with ASD complain about.

    My first problem arose a few years ago when I found that I was unable to cope with the sound of espresso machines in cafes. It seemed as though the noise was deafening and unbearable. I thought that this was simply related to the increasing numbers of such machines as they became more popular. I now believe that it might be related to my ASD/brain wiring. That sensitivity has now largely subsisded but I now get frequent tinnitus but not to the extent where it really gets in the way of everyday life.

    I've never managed at all well in noisy pubs or clubs and I think this is common in people with ASD from what I've read on the forum over the last year. I don't have to go to such places so it isn't much of an issue for me.

    I do use noise cancelling headphones (to listen to music on my phone) when I'm at work as I seem to pick up nearby conversations and noise to the point where my concentration can be destroyed. The NC phones do a good enough job to tip the balance enough to let me get on with work.
