[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you're describing sounds a lot like my 7 year old son. I don't know if it's neurological or something else. He is more introverted, plays with stuffies like they are real, and is sensitive to violence and loud noises. Last year we went to the Indiana Jones stunt show in Disney HS. He was so worried about the actor's wellbeing that he started crying, despite my assuring him the show was just pretend. He will also start crying and hold his ears if we go somewhere that is very loud. However, he also has friends and is doing well in school. He wanted to do soccer because his older brother plays, and it's been great for his confidence. He is almost too well-behaved and needs some encouragement to advocate for himself, go after the ball, etc.[/quote]

DP but I want to note that sensitivity to loud noises and environments could be indicative of something else, like autism. It's not always the same as emotionally sensitive. [/quote]

PP here. True. That's why I wrote in my post that I don't know if it's neurological or something else. I suppose I should have added "or both" because it's possibly a combination of factors. But also, sensitivity to loud noises isn't always autism and shouldn't be assumed to be.[/quote]
