Auditory stimulation and your autistic child can cause great difficulties in day to day functioning.
We live in a noisy world of machines, cars, and endless other auditory stimulus.
No matter where you go or where you turn to some level or another noise is present.
Simple white noise like the buzzing of a fluorescent light to everyday noises like police sirens can become overwhelming to the autistic child.
Their world has been amplified, noises seem to scream and echo within their own brains.
So how can you help your child lean to cope in our noisy world? Well by quieting it down for them.
Now I know that is no where as simple as it sounds but with some easily implemented adjustments you can make their autistic world a little less loud.

• Purchase some fun earmuffs for them, this can help to limit the noise they hear when you are doing everyday tasks like shopping.
  
• Minimize electrical devices in your home.
  The hum of the computer may not bother you but to them it may be a noise enough to trigger an upset.
  
• Try to do noisy tasks when they are not around.
  If possible vacuum while they are at school.
  Run the washer or dryer well they are out with your partner.
  Do what you can to minimize the noise levels they have to endure in the comfort of their home.
  

Auditory stimulation is all around us, but to the common person it is already a noisy world.
Imagine your world with the speakers turned up high.
This can make your day more stressful and harder to cope.
Now take away the ability to communicate to those around you how you feel about this noise and you have just taken a glimpse into your child's autistic world.
