[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The music could be soft or not even playing and he still gets upset about the dancing. And then I’ll stop dancing but his little sister will start swaying her head back and forth (dancing) in her car seat and he freaks out about that too. [/quote]

Honestly, I'd tell him to get over it. We don't live in ... wherever Footloose was located, where dancing was illegal. People dance. People sing. He doesn't have to watch, he can have headphones, but he can't interrupt other people enjoying these activities. That's unacceptable behavior. [/quote]

I wish it were that simple for kids on the spectrum. They don't just get over stuff like this. You work with them and their sensitivities. [/quote]

Disagree. You work on tolerating discomfort. Of course, he can close his eyes and/or use headphones if it bothers him. What he cannot do is dictate other peoples behavior and preferences.

It’s not good to give any kid, ND or not, that level of control over the family. It can spiral.

And yes, I have a kid for whom this applies. [/quote]
