Question to other autistic people here .

Is being scared of any sort of noise normal .? My grandson fears anything that makes noise especially toys etc .
He also does not like sleeping in his own room . He is 2 and will sleep in his room during the day but seems to fear it at night even with a light on is this normal for a autistic kid of his age .?

Sensitivity to noise is very common. My wife still exhibits it, but as an adult she has developed coping and avoiding techniques. It need not be a problem, we've been finding ways of adapting since we were seven.

Not wanting to sleep in his room could be down to a number of factors, not all of them autism related.
