Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Mimi, Storm (now 6) used to be like that. Slowly he seems to be doing better. Occasionally he still freaks out over loud noises. ( I think maybe he has sensitive ears due to all the ear infections) If this is even possible. I hope this helps you.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Hello - I am new to the message board. My son Logan is 7 months old and since birth has been very sensitive to loud noises, he startles very easily (i.e. if I sneeze while holding him he'll cry) and is easily over stimulated. Is this common with RSS kids? Do they ever outgrow it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Hi, Welcome to our group. I only have one child and he has RSS. Just based on my experience many children without RSS are very sensitive to loud noises and it often makes them cry. Some children do have sensory integration problems, in which they need extra input in some areas but are very sensitive in others. This seems to be true with RSS kids as well and generally it seems that a higher percentage of RSS kids have some sensory issues than do other children without RSS. But this is just my observation and it would be best to check with your doctor if you think this maybe a problem. Also, you might want to contact your local Early Intervention agency. You might be able to have an occupational therapist or physical therapist come and evaluate your child for sessory issues. I hope this helps. Ken M > Hello - I am new to the message board.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 My daughter too was very sensitive to noises and touch, even before she was born. Constant loud noise (like music) would send her so high in the womb that I was sure that if I burped she would be delivered via my esophagus (o.k., I exaggerate, but she sure was way up there!). And the doctor never could determine her position, even after I went into labor, because every time he tried to feel her through my uterine wall she would move away from him. Her sensitivities continued after she was born. She has had therapy for Sensory Integration Dysfunction (lots of info on the internet on it) and it has helped some. We have some unanswered questions though, and are scheduled for another genetics evaluation the end of this month, since it has been a *long* time since her last one. I'll let you know what we find out....

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 Thank you to all who applied, Logan is my first child and it's hard to tell what's " normal " since he has the RSS. Ken thank you for the Early Childhood suggestion Logan is actually being evaluated now to see what they can do for him I'll ask about sensory evaluation. Thanks again, Stacey My son Logan, RSS with assemetry, reflux. > HI MIMI, > GRAINNE HAS ALWAYS HAD MANY SENSORY INTEGRATION ISSUES . SHE OFTEN CRYIIES AND SHAKES JUST AT THE ANTICIPATION OF ....

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Whilst watching my 12 month old (non-RSS)daughter carefully and painstakingly removing a number of rice crispies from her hand yesterday (after she had been pushing fistfuls of them into her mouth) it struck me that there was no way that Greg (3 yrs, RSS) would EVER do that. A single rice crispie, or any other morsel that would 'stick' to the skin, would create a minor panic, hand waving about, screaming, tears etc. until someone removed the offending item. I would never, of course, occur to him to just pick/flick it off himself. Up until about 18 months he also 'suffered' from the recently documented loathing of any skin contact with grass. This was however often very useful, as during his crawling stage he could be left on a rug on the lawn without any fear of him wandering off! Craig. Dad to Greg, 3 years 3 months, 90.5 cms, current weight escape me at present, and , 12 mths, chubby and cheerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
