Type of ASC

My husband works at a college where some of the students have SEN. He said one student with Autism likes to have instructions almost shouted at him, he can’t cope with being spoken to nicely. To me this doesn’t sound right?

It sounds like he knows what works for him. Shouting instructions is not the same as being shouted at.

I once taught student who had autism, ADHD and ODD. He preferred being screamed at as it cut through al the noise in his head.

The student might be hyposensitive / under-sensitive to sound, and be seeking sensory stimulation by only responding when almost shouted at. Or they might be struggling to filter out other noise around them. It might be worth looking into their sensory processing needs.
