I believe it's all of the above, our boy covers his ears when we are under the fluorescent tube lights.. I think he/they are sensitive to the humm of the Ballasts..
It might also be the ultraviolet light that fluorescent light throw off, that is nearly unnoticed to most people, then there is the humming of the freezers, and Refrigerator units.. Our little guy hates to go down the Refrigerator isle..
I think this has some merit, because he has no such reaction in department stores, although they have their own drawbacks, crowds, narrow isles, and noise.. etc.. Ha! I have an example that you might try.. One day a couple of years ago, on a very unusually cold day, I bought him a cheap pair of earmuffs and he wore them in the store, and didn't react as he usually did..
That day, I also gave him my lightly tinted sunglasses and that seemed to work as well.. I can't tell which was better, because he wore both, but you might give it a try..
The new thing he likes is to sit under a folding table with a blanket over it, draped completely to the floor. I think it helps him block out all the distractions. He seems more at peace under the table than at almost any other time.
I know how you feel.. I also know why others are making their assumptions with all of the fraud that the welfare state has encouraged, BUT, we know what we go through everyday..
This is a National Health Alert, and when it in your own home, it’s a family tragedy.. We never got any check, and never tried, because we didn’t need it, but it has cost us in excess of $50,000 a year for the past 11 years..
We have had our boy, my grandson, to every therapeutic advancement in ever corner of the globe, literally, and have had at least 2 professional teachers, morning and afternoon, in our own in home classroom 5 days a week, from age 3 until he was 9.. We finally found a group Autism program that he seems to respond to..
With all of that, my daughter, and son-in-law are getting a divorce because of the lasting strain that all of this has caused.. :(
Let these folks believe what they want, or need to believe.. We know the facts, and it isn’t in our imagination, it’s a living nightmare, but still a blessing in disguise.. %@%@^^..
As different as they are individually, they are all the same in some of the symptoms.. Andy, my grandson is now 12, and has done that since he was 2.. It's one of the games we play, that all of the grandkids play together with me.. We build tents all over the living room, covering the entire room, with tipped over chairs, blankets (especially bought for this purpose) to create tunnels and small rooms.. etc.. It takes up hours, and he just loves it, and all of the other kids do to..
Your assumption that your son is so unique in his disabilities fits well with your general dismissive attitude to all things that you don’t understand.
Many that have been even more limited than he have been healed; would you deny him that? Of course that would require putting down your own defense mechanisms long enough to receive information.
The link that I provided is to a book that is guaranteed to change your life and your son’s if you just put down your guard long enough to read it. It has done so for thousands that were equally burdened.
you are out of your mind, like I said.
Do you have the balls to say this nonsense to people to their face? To a parent of a Down’s kid? Tay-Sachs? Oh wait, you cure cancer through magic, so I guess you do.
Never write at me again and I promise to do you the same favor.
You must be an incredibly bitter fool.
It’s you and the rest of the sleep walkers that turn to the Med Mafia with your life that depend on magic.
My son takes no medication at all. None. Zero. There is no such thing as medication to replace missing genetic material.
If I felt like it, I’d search and find where you claimed you have seen a human being regenerate an arm (or eye, I forget.)
So why I continue to discuss chromosomal anomalies with you is beyond me.
Your willingness to fabricate lies to bolster your free-fall position is what I’d expect from you based on the flakeyness of your past performances.
BTW, I said nothing about drugs, or your son, but nice try on that too.
Stop trying to spread your self-induced pain.
Just fuck off.
If you are truly mentally ill as I suspect, I apologize for being mean. If you’re just an asshole, then my admonition stands.
Your language and attitude show who is mentally ill, and how deeply so. Some responsible parent you are.
Yup, my nonsense has kept my family among the very healthiest. No doctors, no drugs, no illness.
The Lord is still on the throne, and remains the only recourse.
Not scientific at all, but something that came into my mind... What if the increase in these new issues is the result of babies and children being separated from their mothers while riding in cars? They have to ride in a back seat facing away from their parents, don’t they? (I’m not a parent, so this is just what I’ve heard.) Not having that feeling of security, especially on long road trips, might lead to social dysfunction and emotional problems similar to separation anxiety. Probably crazy, but a thought. Seems that ADD, ADHD, Autism became more prevalent as laws to “protect” kids became more intrusive.

Could easily be a part; it dehumanizes the infant through reduced socialization.
