[quote=Anonymous]I agree that these are sensory issues associated with giftedness. I have sensitivity to sound and find some typical sounds extremely irritating. I think it is hard for people without these issues to understand just how unpleasant and overwhelming it can be. I have learned to control my response to these sounds but because they are so irritating it becomes harder the longer I am exposed to it. I typically try to leave the room or politely ask the person if they would mind stopping or turning down the noise. You son needs to understand that it is somewhat unusual to be bothered by these sounds so that he knows people aren't intentionally being obnoxious, and he also needs to learn the proper response. It may be fine to ask you not to sing if he cannot leave the environment, but he needs to learn to do so politely.[/quote]
