I know several people on the autism spectrum (including myself) who can’t stand the sound of certain electric devices, such as hoovers, laundry machines, driers etc.
Many also have a problem with squeaky sounds, high pitched sounds or buzzing sounds.
It varies quite a lot between individuals though.
yes the first answerer, yet, even in
Autism there are different levels…and the child will tend to screach out to the noises
in addition
loud barking dogs
alarms, police, ambulances fire trucks
basically anything out of the norm
I have ADD and there are different kinds of it, in my kind loud noises are very irritating, but its about focus, if i am looking at what is making the noise, then I focus on that and not the noise.
David in Jesus amazing grace.
My son has Aspergers Syndrome – in the autism spectrum – I read all I could on it years ago.
One of the books referenced going to the grocery store & what an ordeal it can be for him.
Believe it or not he often had meltdowns in the grocery.
The book referenced and then my son later confirmed that he hears noises there that he cannot filter out. Such as:
squeeky cart wheels – 2 or 3 aisles over
hum of the various motors
stock going up on the shelves
conversations
the hum of the lights
the ringing of the cash registers
the intercom price check calls
crying children
employees conversations
purchases going into carts over the store
Our solution – we do not put him through that any longer. We do not take him grocery shopping with us. Why put him through that?
My brother hates the sounds of hoovers, electric mixers… anything like that really.. he also has hyperacusis (something you may want to look into
hope i have helped

My autistic son can’t stand the loud noises babies and small children make. (High pitched). He also does not like any really loud music.
