You have the knack and the right stuff, but you haven't had JD's lifetime to get the kind of intuition you would have if this had started when he was a baby and you were 6 or 7 years old.

mom says I act like I worried I may break him

Like I said, it's trial and error. You're bound to make mistakes. My older internet friend I've had for a few years was always feeling guilty for not being understanding enough, pushing me too hard in teaching me gaming, not being patient enough etc. My cousin would sometimes get on tell him to stop being so hard on himself. It's not an easy job.

We might have to call all the king's horses and all the king's men to put JD back together again.

JD is having some problems with a few of the noises around the ranch mom said maybe ear plug but not sure, it is kind of important to hear what is around you on a working ranch Mom said to ask around which means ask on WP she is big on asking the source not people that have not lived it as she tells me a million times a day experience is the best teacher, of course, it is when I mess up she says that.

Mom is a wise woman.
You can try earplugs for him if he will tolerate them or even ear defenders which go over the ears. I sometimes wear either or both but they can be painful for me. If his hearing is as sensitive as mine, he will still be able to hear a lot with earplugs or with ear defenders on. But they can help because they do cut out a lot of sound but not all sound. How do deaf people do at ranches? I imagine there must be dear ranchers. But if you can figure out exactly which sounds he is sensitive to, he might also be able to avoid whatever is making those sounds. That is always a good solution.

Not always it in the corrals and like yesterday we had about 300 head in there and use the horses to sort the and JD want to help but every time a gate slamed he jumped we even had to take him to the truck once cause it was overloading him you could tell but then he was upset he had to leave the pens I think he thought he was in trouble

Give him a special job to do that is away from the gates for now. He wants to help, that is very good. Also look into ear defenders for him. Tons of Autistic kids wear them. I have adult ones but I am sure that lots of people here might be able to recommend really good kid ones for him. I think that will help. He might be able to be near the gates if he is wearing them.
