[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't consider those sensory things "bad" especially if they don't bother him or you. 
My DS has different sensory issues though, which some people may be confusing, that do affect his daily life. He runs screaming from public bathrooms if the toilet flushes, he cannot go into any restaurants, museums,mor any other loud echoey or busy places. He runs screaming in a panic from metro stations or anywhere that has a fan type sound. Movies and birthday parties are definitely out too, and he isn't able to eat in the lunchroom and can't go in the gym at school. 
So yes, some kids have sensory issues that affect their everyday lives. But this doesn't sound like what your son is going through. Maybe mention to the OT that those things don't bother you, maybe they are assuming its a behavior that you want to stop. [/quote]

FYI, a woman I knew had daughter with the same sensory issue regarding public bathrooms.  This was a real problem if they went any where 45+ minutes away from home.  She used sound cancelling headphones like the lawn mower guy might use.  Yes, looks odd but definitely allowed them a little more freedom.[/quote]
