    What's wrong with him?

    This is more of a rant than anything else, but had to let it out before it drives me NUTS. Perhaps it's a bit too late for that. My daughter has A-typical Autism and Central Auditory Processing Disorder. We did a lot of intensive therapy with her pre-baby to get her prepared and she was doing really well but since having DS just over three weeks ago she's really regressed. I know it's normal to regress but for special needs kids it's like regression on speed. Every time DS makes a noise she claps her hands over her ears and asks "what's wrong with him?" I could understand this when he cries (which he does very little of - thank god), but it's come to the point where the poor little mite can't even BREATH, if he but gives one little silent twitch of the hand off she goes in her loop, hands over ears "what's wrong with him, he needs you mum" and wont let up until I either pick him up (which he doesn't need me to do, he's quite happy) or I loose the plot. I can say, "nothing's wrong" or "he's just talking, or moving" but it doesn't matter she's got an idea stuck in her head and I can't break her out of it. I've even tried telling her it's not her job to worry about it, but it doesn't matter. I'm really starting to loose my patience and find myself yelling at her and doing my block. I'm at the end of my tether.
