Hypersensitivity to noise is common in autism. I can't even tell you how many students I have had over the years who cover or plug their ears. Noise-blocking headphones can help! The Snug brand is my top choice. I love that they are “kid-size”, and come in different colors. When the headphones fit correctly, children will tolerate wearing them better.

Thank you for this story- do you have a story or visuals to help teach a child to move away from a child making noises? A child that isn’t noise sensitive to other loud noises, but is upset when another child is being loud.
Hi Kristen- we have a full social story library available to you- have you had a chance to take a look at some of the additional titles? https://autismlittlelearners.com/the-social-story-library/
