One of the books referenced going to the grocery store & what an ordeal it can be for him. Believe it or not he often had meltdowns in the grocery. The book referenced and then my son later confirmed that he hears noises there that he cannot filter out. Such as: squeeky cart wheels - 2 or 3 aisles over hum of the various motors stock going up on the shelves conversations the hum of the lights the ringing of the cash registers the intercom price check calls crying children employees conversations purchases going into carts over the store Our solution - we do not put him through that any longer. We do not take him grocery shopping with us. Why put him through that? My son has Aspergers Syndrome – in the autism spectrum – I read all I could on it years ago.

It varies quite a lot between individuals though.
