Cloudy Days / Rain / Thunderstorms
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Looking for suggestions to help my daughter. She freaks out when it's cloudy. When it's stats raining she will screaming and cry. I can always tell when it's going to rain because she starts pacing It's got so bad at night - that we have to see with headphones on. Used to she would be okay if one of was in the bed with her. Now, she will cry and stay awake. After the headphones go on she will still whine but will finally go to sleep.

? Ear plugs for sleeping - possibily ear buds with classical music just loud enough to shft her attention away from the rain. During the day ear buds connected to a pad with favorite activities.

We tried to explain that rain and thunder storms are good things. That it helps things grow and horses can eat grass. (Horse is the only animal she will touch). She doesn't seem to process that information. Only things that really helps is headphones to an point. I'm now wondering if the $$ more expensive ones would be better. We just have a cheap pair from Academy

Could you explain rain and thunderstorms to your daughter? When I was little I was afraid of thunder but then when I knew it wouldn't hurt me and understood more what the loud noise was I felt better. Is she afraid of the rain? Maybe she just is sensitive to the noise and doesn't like it. Headphones sound good not sure what else to suggest maybe when it rains you could put calming music on.
