Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Happy New Year!!! My 6yo son has come a long way since he first got diagnosed at 2 1/2. We are chelating with TD-DMPS 3/4 protocol, using TD-Naltrexone, B-12 all supplements and he's on SCDiet. He is verbal, but still requires speech theray for his apraxia. He is doing great and making alot of progress. But one think that never goes away is these weird noises he makes, doesn't make them constantly but they increase we he's excited when playing and sometimes he humms when he's eating and doing school work, which he gets redirected to have a quite voice. He doesn't have yeast or bacteria, and he's done it from 2 1/2 years old before any biomedical treatment. What causes this??? Is there something I can give him to stop.....? I usually have to redirect him and say No Noises.... use your words. Any thoughts??? Appreciate it. Thanks Jeanne --------------------------------- DSL Something to write home about.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Auditory learner, perhaps? I don't know if this will help you, but I have a similar problem...<BR> When I was a child, I used to " speak " in my mind (for example for learning, reading, for recreating conversations that I needed to " hear " again). For whatever reason it helped to kind of " hear " the words... I am not sure if you understand what I mean...<BR> Let's say I am reading a message. I cannot understand a word if I don't whisper them, or at least say them in my mind (kind of saying them but not speaking), but hearing them helps. I don't know why. It's the only way I can understand anything I read.<BR> Maybe your son has a similar problem. Maybe he needs to make these noises when he thinks.<BR> I personally wouldn't stop him, but teach him to do this quietly.<BR> <BR> <BR> Valentina<BR> </tt> <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --> <br><br> <tt> =======================================================<BR> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hi, The noises are of differences of opinion to many people, but most people think that they are a calming mechanism. Some think that it is their way of drowning out something else that is over stimulating. As what the last person wrote in her email about talking out loud. That is called reauditorization, and it is common in autism, and also common in children with central auditory processing disorders. For the exact reason she says, it helps them hear the words and process their meaning. I think that is why we need to really understand what is really " ok " and not ok for a child to be doing. My youngest does this and since he is CAPD, i would never try to extinguish it, but instead try to build is processing abilities. hope this helps crystal Valentina Scharpf <val999@...> wrote: > But one think that never goes away is these weird noises he makes, doesn't make them constantly but they increase we he's excited when playing and sometimes he humms when he's eating and doing school work, which he gets redirected to have a quite voice.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 My son uses humming to make a beat for his body to follow. He has a movement disorder as part of his mercury stew so the beat helps him to move.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Tomatis Listening program has improved this significantly in my 6 year old son. He still does some humming but haven't heard him making any strange noises for months. This also improved his language and behavior. We did 3 sessions over 5 months.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 > Auditory learner, perhaps? I don't think is exactly that. Maybe, but I don't think so. I think is more the fact that I have troubles making the surrounding sounds fade away. I cannot concentrate on what I'm doing if I hear other sounds. And, of course, there are always plenty of sounds... cars on the street, the refrigerator, the TV, somebody talking in the other room, birds singing... anything... The same thing applies to my hearing. I have a perfect hearing. I actually can hear sounds that other people don't. But if you talk to me while the TV is on, for example, I cannot distinguish a word you say. Your words will overlap the TV sounds, no matter how low the volume is. And I can assure you this doesn't happen because I hear sounds louder than they actually are. It is definitely not that. But it is the fact that I cannot make certain sounds fade in the background. So when I have to read, or concentrate about something important, I have to make the sound of my mind louder than the surroundings. Not sure if this explanation is clear...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 That actually makes lots of sense. For me if I am watching TV I get very fustrated with any other noise because it makes it impossible for me to hear what people are saying on TV. I have to have the volume way up and I also have perfect hearing. Had it tested and the person commented on my range of hearing. Everything distracts, the dishwasher sounds like it is a semi driving through my living room, kids playing drives me insane. I usually give up and watch something only after they are in bed.
