How Do I Get My Daughter To Overcome Loud Noises?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bennington, OK

Like watching fire works she gets scared and wants to go in the house or just cling to me and not let me go and she covers her ears when someone gets loud or she hears a very extremely loud noise.

for mine, we would say "what's that sound like?" and then explain to her what that sound was, then after a while instead of covering her ears, she would ask and sometimes answer that question herself. I also bought noise canceling headphones to help. Overall though, we just avoid fireworks with her.

My son was like that with fireworks and fire alarms so we got him earphones from a hunting shop and let him wear them during the fire works at Disney and 4th of July. He now is able to watch the fire works without his earphones and has done graded to ear plugs on certain rides that are loud, but we always keep his earphones with us as a security blanket just in case.
