Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hi all, Lateley my JJ wants everything Loud! The tv is up-the tape player is up-He "scream talks" very loud. I have tried "ouiet voice", and telling him loud voice outside but to no avail. Its like it is a "stim" for him. Like it excites him to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks! Lois Lois J.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Has your son had his hearing checked? I usually tolerate a certain behavior until I no lonet can not them I put my daughter in her room for a few minutes. They say if they are doing behaviors just out of spite remove them from the store or where ever and take them home. If he does not like to go out that will not work. Have you tried yelling back at him so he see's how it can hurt the ears? Good-luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Yep, it's probably a stim. Try ignoring him when he does it. If he turns the volume up on something, turn it off. If he's screaming requests at you, ignore him until he asks in a normal voice. Don't react to the screaming at all, act like he's not even there. Just remember, any time you use ignoring a behavior as a way to get rid of it, it will get worse before it gets better. But it really does work great.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Amnesty, Hi! Trouble is.....he does it in school. (Also at home and everywhere else) He doesan't have to be asking for something........it can just be him chit-chatting to himself and he still screams it out.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Well, I asked my daughter( shes going to be a ASD teacher ) she said is he putting his ear next to the TV ? Myself...first though was maybe his sinuses are acting up and kind of blocking his ears. CB's Granny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 J is 17 so its a little hard to put him in a room. Yes- I have yelled back- It just makes him do it more. Its like a stim to him. Just how to get him to stop.........There in lies the problem. Lois Re: Re: Everything LOUD! Has your son had his hearing checked?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hmmmm...this is a tough one. At 17 could be teenage bugging mom syndrome. My kids blasted everything at that age. But I could walked over and either say "TURN THAT DOWN " or I turned it off with and gave them "look " . Im sure you already are turning it down over and over again. ( by the way Im thinking out loud to you LOL ) Is it possible to say to him J thats too loud, one more time and I take it away, then lock the offending gadget up for a time out ? My son was grounded from TV years ago, and we had to take it out of his room and lock it up ( he kept sneeking ) CB's Granny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Yeppers this is tough...because he's stimming off his own yelling.Will have to give this more thought. CB's Granny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Yes- I can take away some of the things BUT he is still loud talking. Even if there is nothing there to turn down. Its like it is something that gets him wound up. Lois Re: Re: Everything LOUD! Hmmmm...this is a tough one. At 17 could be teenage bugging mom syndrome. My kids blasted everything at that age.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 From a purely sensory/physiological perspective. My son occasionally turns the volume WAY up on TV/Computer AND covers his ears. So it isn't a " hearing " thing. I think he just like to " Feel " the music. Yelling temporarily increases adrenalin production (like in martial arts). Maybe your son is just trying to get his adrenalin fix. IMHO since my son is completely non-verbal. > Yes- I can take away some of the things BUT he is still loud talking. Even if there is nothing there to turn down.
