Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi My son screamed when he was about 2 1/2. I couldn't stand it, so I bought a pair of those headphone-like ear protecters that you use when mowing the lawn, etc. (I got them at a hardware type store). When he started to scream, I put them on. I was able to ignore it and eventually he stopped. By the way, he was very interested in my headphones and that could distract him from his screaming. If it doesn't stop his screaming, maybe it will make it easier for you to tolerate it! By the way, he's now 14 and not only doesn't scream, he mostly doesn't talk to me! Helena W.

I have a 4 year old son with Asperger's and a 2 1/2 year old son with mild/moderate (depends on which doctor you ask) autism. My oldest () was just diagnosed a few months ago. At first it was a relief -- the diagnosis just answered a lot of questions we had about why he did certain things -- but now I am just worn out. He is a very active boy, which I can work with, but he screams/screeches a lot during the day. I have tried to journal to find out what is causing the screaming, but I can't find any similarities between episodes. Has anyone gone through this? Can anyone give me any helpful hints on how to stop this? He is home on Spring Break this week and I don't know if I'll survive the next 5 days! Thanks for any ideas. --------------------------------- New Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
