Hello.
School is starting tomorrow. I go to a special school. In my class there is going to be a boy, who i do not like very much. When i hear someone humming it causes anxiety and pain in my head. The boy in question is always humming/singing quietly. Last year we were not in the same class but this year we will be.
How should i deal with the problem? I just cannot be near someone who is singing quietly/humming. I am afraid i will have a meltdown because of it.

Are you in the US and do you have an IEP? If so, this issue should be written into it. They need to provide you with an environment that doesn't trigger you. My son has a problem with mouth noises and doesn't eat lunch in the cafeteria or sit next to kids who chew gum. If it's in the IEP, they have to take care of this.
Good luck.

Profile doesn't say. I have no idea what the law is there. I hope they work it out so she doesn't have to put up with that.

There used to be a person from Italy who was an autism advocate. She stated that autism awareness was "in its infancy" there. She was trying to put together a newsletter about autism for Italian readers.

She's the mother of an autistic child. I wish she were still on this Site.
