Hey, can i second the mp3 player!

Or alternatively, if she doesn't like music in her ears, you can actually buy ear protection (like earmuffs) for kids with sensory processing problems. Google Peltor ear protection for kids. I have several aquaintances with special kids who deal poorly with noise and i have one myself!

Now, by NO MEANS is DD on the Autism Spectrum, but she is obviously bothered by noise more than most kids. Fire alarms, hoovers, food mixers, all have her hysterically begging to go in the meitai on my back and crying and crying for up to half an hour after the noise has stopped. I have sound cancelling headphones (for listening to music through) which i put on her when she's panicking, and that seems to work great for now.

Best of luck hun Try to remember that as she grows ALL the differences in her mind, some of which will probably blow your socks of at how incredible she is, will become clearer. THere was a boy with ASD in my statistics class at Uni, couldn't have lunch in the dining hall but he could do root functions in his HEAD!
