- What a relief this article is. As for someone with severe hyperacusis and sensory triggered seizures from the slightest thing - I can relate in part. But I've lost friends - people whom I thought were educated and wise and kind - and been told I "overprotect" and should get out and get on with life.
The question about removing himself from noise at the dinner table rings so true -- if something hurts, it hurts. It's not being a brat.
Looking at the comments, there is one so very caustic comment from "Carlee" and other posters reply to that with grace, it's a sad reminder of how those who simply cannot tolerate certain stimuli or have certain needs are seen by some others in the world.
Thanks for this article.
Lately, I've been streaming the series PARENTHOOD on Netflix. Absolutely fantastic regarding detail about autism. And enjoyable to watch. As Ron Howard was involved in this series and they had a good consultant, it works well.
But also, I'm learning about the human heart. Looking back with the young actors as to situations I went through, with the adults, too. So many heart moments there regarding how tender the path can be for anyone. -
