[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can he wear noise blocking headphones?[/quote]

He wears them at concerts when it gets too much but says it doesn't work at assemblies so he avoids them. I offered to give them to him at graduation, said the cap would not fit...[/quote]

He’s clearly not avoiding this situation because it’s loud or noisy or crowded. You need to figure out what’s actually going on before you can address it. [/quote]

+1. This is school-related. [/quote]

Graduations are chaotic, unfamiliar, you have to be in the spot light, even if just briefly, and he is not interested in it. Concerts and baseball however are things he apparently enjoys. He knows what to expect and he’s willing to be out of his comfort zone to experience the enjoyment. I don’t think there’s anything deep about school here.

It doesn’t sound like he is conflicted about it but you are, so I would consider that and find a way to mark the milestone that you will both enjoy.[/quote]
