[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 606273, member: 1550"] Never heard of sensory processing disorder (SPD) standing alone. But as far as I know (from having sensory issues of my own and my son having them...so it's strictly personal stuff, not professional) having a bad reaction to sensory stuff doesn't cause that degree of anger. It's more like revulsion and "get me out of here!" I can't see that it would cause violence if it stood by itself. The experts I talked to, and of course they all have their own ideas, told me the sensory issues are secondary to other things, but who knows who is right? You tend to learn to handle sensory overload as you get older. My son used to be unable to go to a movie threatre without covering his ears the entire time. He liked to go to movies...lol...but never ever went without covering his ears. And we couldn't go to the Fourth of July fireworks for many years beause he couldn't take it. The loudness made him cry. He didn't get angry, he got frantic. "Mommy, take me home! Take me home! Please! I'm scared! It hurts my ears!" So I did and hubby and daughter would stay (shrug). We had to cut off all the tags in his clothes or he'd jump around saying, "It's itchy. Take it out! Take it out!" He still cuts out his tags, at 20, but he does not react out loud. What used to anger him were: 1/Changes in his environment 2/If I took him to a familiar place, say school, and drove a different route, even if I had to do it because of rode construction. He would cry and yell and insist I shouldn't go that way, even though it took us to the same place and he knew it. 3/If he was in a crowded place and there was too much noise, he'd fall apart. I learned to wait until husband got home to go shopping. 4/The furniture in his room was rearranged even a little bit. 5/This will seem silly, but if we told him we were leaving at 6:00 and we said, "Ok, time to go" and he saw that it was 5:59, he'd refuse to go. "It's not 6:00 yet.. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" Stuff like that angered him. But that was the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), not the sensory issues. He has grown into an easygoing young man who can handle imperfections, but he couldn't when he was younger. Change disturbed him tremendously as did lots of chaos. [/QUOTE]
