It sounds like the doorbell thing, diaper changes, clothing changes,

etc.....might be sensory. My son has a lot of sensory issues, and

everything.....EVERYTHING.....scared him. He would run screaming if there was a

sudden noise, or if the wind was blowing. OT has helped with this. Sensory

issues (in my opion), make my son seem a bit " different " from the rest of his

peers. My son also has an AMAZING memory as well and is a visual learner.

,

Your son sounds exactly like mine regarding sensory issues. Loud noises are

still

an issue(he's 8 now). We went out and bought 4 pairs of ear protection so we

always

have at least one pair in the car, at home, school ect. His favorite pair are

bright yellow

so he does tend to stick out in a crowd but they at least let us go to events

for more than

5 minutes at a time! He really uses them as a safety mechanism now which is

great.

If he starts to feel nervous somewhere like a grocery store, arena ect he asks

for his " phones "

He surprises me sometimes at how good his memory is. And it wasn't until

recently that we

realized how visual he was, way more than any kid i've ever known.
