Noise Cancelling Headphones - good idea or terrible idea?

NAS77440

Hi

My daughter has been recently diagnosed with autism - age 14. She is asking for noise-cancelling headphones as she's read these can be helpful.

I'm all for getting them for her - I can see why they would help - however I'm concerned about her walking around all day even more isolated from everyone around her than she currently is.

Which I know is the point as far as she is concerned - but perhaps this would increase rather than decrease her social struggles?

My first post here so appreciate any help you can offer - thank you in advance!

  • If anyone has found some that work well I would very much like recommendations.


    I normally listen to audiobooks to put my mind somewhere while I journey to my destinations, however this can bite me in the *** when I get where I am going, as I need to snap back to reality. 

    I have always wondered about noise cancelling headphones but the buy in, for something I am not sure works for me, seems high.
