Is there anything besides medication that helps your child with noises they don't like? My son is 6 and hates when I cough or the dog barks ect. He yells when he heres it. Thanks all in advance for your time and input.
I know my son has used noise cancelling headphones for unpleasant noises. My neurotypical daughter has a harder time with noises than he does and she just covers her ears with her hands.

This is is my first time posting.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Has anyone ever dealt with uncontrollable laughter.
I have recently been struggling to get my son to stop this behavior.
He Only calms down when is on clonidine. When the medication wears off he can go on and on.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Im a cargiver for an 26 year old man with autism. He has self harming behaviors. Mostly to get what he wants..how do you stay firm when the guy is bashing his head biting himself screaming.

Moms, I want to ask how you take care of yourselves. I start to feel down again. I was diagnosed of depression years ago. Now winter, my worst season is coming. I have the feeling that it is going to be hard. I do not have family here. We moved here a few months ago. Feel lonely and disconnected. I feel harder and harder to make friends in real life. I have lots of anxieties. I saw a psychologist a few months ago, but did not help much. I feel so tired recently. Tired of myself. :(
Oh I hear you! My husband and I moved three thousand miles away from my family and it is very isolating here. I feel depressed and weepy at times. I found reading Gabby Bernstein's books (The… read more
