In the process of early intervention for my son I would notice loud noises would make him very uncomfortable.
During that time frame he wasn’t officially diagnosed with ASD we were waiting per insurance policy for him to turn 3 years old to get a diagnosis. Yet, he did have early intervention services such as speech therapy and occupational therapy.
I was extremely oblivious to anything related with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I was learning as time proceed to go by. With that being said I did not have any knowledge of the sensitivity an individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder can have to sound.
I vividly remember my son’s 3rd birthday party while everyone sang the “Happy Birthday” theme song a moment filled with joy by our guests was masked by how uncomfortable my son looked while covering his ears.
In that moment I realized I needed to do more extensive research on ASD. Proceeded on purchasing noise reduction headphones. I realized that the headphones became a valuable tool for my son, helping him block out overwhelming noise and sensory stimuli.
The noise reduction headphones can also provide, a sense of calm and focus.
It’s been years since then, my son is now capable of verbalizing when he needs or doesn’t need the headphones.
As the years went by I continuously kept learning what other sensory needs my son had and the items that helped my child.
Therefore I decided to create an Amazon list with sensory items I found helpful.
I will include the link down below.
