Asd 4 year old hates noise but is so loud.

NAS83007

hi

my 4 year is on the ASD pathway and also has global develpoment delay which puts him at around 2 years old. he also suffers from sensory processing disorder.

he struggles with loud noises and has ear defenders for when he finds it tough however, i am struggling as he is so loud he shouts when he talks and is really loud when he plays aswell. how do i manage this as he doesnt understand quiet when i try to explain to him. also he struggles with spd so he bangs his body on things constantly rubs himself all day long. how do i explain to people that he struggles with noise but not his own noise. ( i am not even sure if that makes sense) he has no problems if he is banging or shouting just other peoples noise.

any help would be great in trying to explain this.

  • Not sure I can really help much, but just want to say it does make sense (I hate the sound of other people eating and other people making noise and can find it so uncomfortable..but then if I am just sitting there eating raw carrots - for example -  this isn't a noise that will bother me, as I am making the noise myself! Same with music, no to loud music unless it is loud music I have chosen to listen to, maybe that one is control) Could be the unpredictability and lack of control which could be easier to explain to others?
