In what way is someone suggesting that a child's inability to tolerate

loud noises being neurological? My (14) simply cannot tolerate

loud noises if we go to choir concerts etc. He enjoys the music but has

to cover his ears to be able to not jump out of his skin. I would

really like information on this if anyone knows.

Wow, reading all these posts makes me feel very fortunate that has had none

of these issues. I have always been able to take him anywhere, anytime, without

any behavior or sensory issues. Just goes to show that you can't generalize

about the DS population......they are each as individual as the snowflakes that

are about to fall in the Northeast starting tomorrow night! LOL.

There is a whole set of auditory processing disorders(APDs)that are

neurological. Hypersensitive hearing (Hyperacusis)is associated with some.

One of Jessie's audiologists once said excessive ear wax can also cause

sensitivity.

Becky,

You might want to get a copy of the book " the out of sync child " it decibes

problems with kids who have problems intergrating their surroundings. It also

has some ways to help try to desentitze the person who has problems. Do they

work with every child, probably not, since not everyone will react the same, we

are individuals after all, lol, but the book is informative and can be helpful

to some.
