    Meltdown from chewing noise

    I love this :D getting some and they are coming to tease her! @Yeshuasdaughter thank your for clarifying and offering your thoughts for help. I definitely will continue to eat, and she doesn’t want to eat apart from me, so she has to figure out how to handle this in a better way. Clearly with...

    You don’t get a rifle, you only get a stuffy to abuse ;-) Thank you for sharing. Sad to see how this condition causes suffering. All the less reason to punish or diminish someone for it.

    Meltdown from chewing noise

    So, I’m the aspie, but my daughter (12, undiagnosed) melts down when she hears the sound of my chewing. She will start shrugging, crying, yelling at me that I’m disgusting, hitting objects around her. This happens at home. In public she might hold a hand to an ear and look away, but holds...
