Hi I realize that my son is highly sensitive, would like to know which suit best ( listening program, therapeutic listening and safe and sound protocol) for my child 3yo who has difficulty in accepting loud noise, cannot enggage with other peers, picky eater, and etc. What is your reccommendation?

[@HarklaFamily]

Hi! We'd recommend looking at the different programs and talking with their customer service - without knowing your child, we're unable to recommend which one specifically would be best for them. However, we have personally used all 3 programs with great results with many children!

yes i noticed that my son gets very irritable when noise is too much for him. He is a very picky eater. I am doing my best to handle this, but he constantly gets very angry and fussy

I was a highly sensitive child, and now I'm a highly sensitive adult. Now, I wouldn't avoid areas such as parks or kid play places. However, I have always had the sensory sensitivities. However, I have an autism spectrum diagnosis, and sensory issues are common for people on the spectrum. I am also more of a girly-girl. Unfortunately, if in addition to being highly sensitive, you are on the autism spectrum, AND favor stereotypically feminine activities, clothes, and mannerisms, you might be seen as a 'mean girl,' even if you're not. And unfortunately, adults only seem to perpetuate this stereotype, that highly sensitive, extroverted girly-girls are 'mean.'
