Guest guest Posted August 19, 2000 Report Share Posted August 19, 2000 My normal 14 month old does that. Maybe it's a developmental thing. I heard that DS kids have their autism " come out " later because they aren't developmentally 2 year olds until later. was about 5. But my 14 month old will let out the kind of scream that makes you come running, and it may be because he can't pick up the blanket because he's standing on it. I used to think it was because did something to him, but would be standing there with a baffled look on his face. Loriann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 As strange > as it sounds, most of the time I actually feel some relief after screaming with > frustrastion. > > Carol Carol, I agree that screaming offers some relief to tensions and frustrations. Last year, our photography darkroom (I advise my school's yearbook or annual) became the scream room for the students on the staff when the deadlines came crashing upon them. I surprised my students by going into the darkroom one day and screaming. They thought that only students had frustrations that warranted a scream. We had a good laugh about my scream, and everyone's tension just melted. I encourage the students to release their tension with a scream now and then. It is not healthy to keep frustrations inside. Enjoy a good scream today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Does anyone have issues with screaming? I realize that a lot of the time he's trying to tell us something. However, as he gets older he gets much louder! The screaming has been a goal of ABA therapy, but not much progress has been made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Yes. We do. Our son is 11 and is at times very loud. He usually does this when he's upset or frustrated and he is verbal but also when he is constipated. Sometimes it is really hard to tell whats going on. Any suggestions would be great. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Is he trying to communicate? Is he in pain or uncomfortable? Pamela " Courage is doing what you're afraid to do.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 HI Kate, What's his diet like? How old is he? When was his most recent vaccine? Does he have any mercury amalgam dental fillings? Is anyone trying to teach him any alternative method of communication like sign or PECS? How's his receptive language? Screaming is one form of communication, unfortunately it's a tough one to interpret. Does he not scream at night? When was his last physical? Have UTI and ear infection been ruled out? Is he teething? What supps or meds is he on? Teeth grinding is often connected with zinc deficiency. My nephew with vaccine-induced autism screamed day and night for 3 days after the vaccine that caused his autism. He was unconsolable. S S In a message dated 11/21/2008 4:05:52 P.M.

He only cries every now and then and I can tell that he is in pain when it's happening, but when he screams he stimms on that scream . He doesn't enjoy it exactly but he doesn't seem to not enjoy it either. Could this be signs of severe abdominal pain? Along with his teeth grinding? His teeth are almost gone by the way! No joke.....I should put a video on you tube. IT'S ALL DAY!!!! He screams really loud and long and then takes a deep breath and does it again.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 hello, My son is the same way.. it is a stim .. I have to remove him from what ever he is yelling at and ask him to be quite and give him a new thing to play.. I have a pecs picture that says be quite please and it works for a while then he needs to be reminded.. it is very annoying so i understand completely what it is like. My son is 6.. Lesley -- Screaming Hi, I was wondering if anyone has a child that screams? My daughter is almost 4 and non verbal. She does this thing where she screams. Sometimes she does it all day and sometimes it's louder than usual. Yesterday she did it all day and it was very loud and annoying. When she has something in her hand it gets worse. I don't know if it's some type of stim or what. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
