He is petrified to the point of distraction of the hoover (vacuum cleaner), any sort of buzzing noise, even vibrate on a mobile phone, drills, the electric shower, my hair dryer, the fan heater, the blender and the latest one is if I start up the car whilst any of the doors are open he completely loses the plat and freaks out.
It is affecting all areas of his life to the extreme. In my mothers house, if he even catches a glimpse of the hoover or if anybody even stands by it he will scream and cry in fear. If my husband is having a shower he will refuse to use the toilet even if he is bursting which results in an accident. I dont understand the problem.
Last year when the sun was shining he would refuse to play in the back garden for the fear of a plane going over head, he was completely traumatised. It was when we actually brought him on a plane he got over that one. He is less scared but still hesitant.
We had his ears tested as a result and they are perfect including his eardrums and sensitivity level. The audiologist said that it is behaviour. How do we even begin to deal with this. He is wary and fearful in ALL new surroundings as he is always waiting for a noise to pop up out of somewhere!!
HEEEELP!!!!
