Effects Of Sound On Autistic Children - What Sounds Really Do

Dealing With Sounds In Everyday Life

Part of daily life is to deal with sounds, but with an autistic child, these sounds can prove both traumatic and frightening. You will need to control the effect of sounds especially if your child has a sensory problem. Always remember that every child has a different approach, so by watching your child closely you will be able to find out the effect of Auditory Stimulation.

An autistic child does not react favorable to loud sounds – in fact it scares him, so it is up to you to make the child feel at ease by getting him used to sound gradually, so that it does not inhibit his growth. If an autistic child is visibly distressed by sound, he cannot function and therefore will not be able to learn. For instance, even while toilet training, a child can be frightened at the sound of flushing. So, in order to help him you could place a potty a little away from the toilet, so the child can gradually get accustomed to the noise.

Another example is loud and crunchy noises from food like chips and carrots. You may discover that your child does not eat certain foods and this could be because he is frightened of the sound while eating So these foods should be eliminated and soft foods introduced into his diet.

There are still other sounds that could be scary to an autistic child like the noise of the vacuum cleaner. You will need to operate it when he is away in another room perhaps with the door shut or maybe you could use earplugs for him when the noises around him are affecting his ears.

Music as a Form Of Non-Verbal Communication

Some autistic children get fixated on certain sounds like lawn mowers. This could be used for the child’s benefit like story telling or humming a song. Music is a wonderful way of communication – the main idea is to use sound as a form of teaching your child, and as autism is extremely delicate to handle, you can explore the needs of your child and handle it accordingly in daily situations.

On New Year's Eve, Resolutions, and the Journey to Happiness

By: Lorelei F | 01/01/2010
Last night I invited a gentleman out. He said no, because he did not want to drive on New Year's Eve. I went out to dinner anyway, because I hate the idea of being stopped in my life due to fear. But when I stop to think of it, the whole idea of New Year's Eve is bizarre.
