Tricky.
Is it constant or does it vary (the shouting). Can you identify any factor that contribute to the frequency of shouting?
Not everyone would be intolerant or not understand. People locally would hopefully get used to his shouting and be cool with it.

If he doesn't want, nor need to go, don't make him. Most of us are happy staying at home doing what we love in order to cope with the lack of routine.
In my case he needs to know what is happening down to the last detail and oftern is thinking of these would can not even imagine, he always thinks worst case which makes it very difficult.
We can take him out depending where we are going and always need to show him photos first and go through it with him. we also have a daily routine board which we update each night which helps alot.
Sensory issues can usally be helped with some creative thinking, for example ear plugs if they will use them and sunglasses.
The main thing to remember is unless they have to go out, why force them. A lot of people I know feel there children must socialise with other children, no matter what, but why. My son has been very happy these holidays and we have been building an eco house and he has been playing on mindcraft (which he is obsesed with).
School trips have always been very difficult, but luckly the school has been very helpful and understanding.
Hi both - my son is very nervous about going out at certain times to certain places because he has a hyper-sensitivity to certain noises. We are giving a lot of thought about what we do about that to help him. It's really interfering with his daily enjoyment of life. We feel so sorry for him. Do you know why your chidren get so upset to the point of shouting out and/or having self-injurous behaviour? It can be extremely difficult to work that out, as I know from experience. It will be related to some kind of sensory overload. Noise in general or only certain noises? Over-stimulation in general or specifically such as bright lights, crowds, fear of the unknown etc? It can need a massive stretch of our imaginations + acute observation to get to the bottom of things sometimes so I do sympathise, but it needs to be done so we can empathise + help.
I know how you feel, we have not been able to go out because we get major flip outs if we even surgest it. We had to go to the dentist but ended up going to A&E and my son flipped out and head butted the wall and knocked himself out, then when we were at A&E he did it again as the doctor was examining him, that was a great day
