My son is 21 months and diagnosed with SPD. Our MAJOR problem is his screaming when he is mad, wants something or just excited. He screams a lot. My husband and I are at our wits end.
you are not alone. My son will be 4 next month, and I just stumbled on this site.... he too screams for all those reasons you just listed... What has helped is the encouragement (by others @ his preschool and daycare) to use his words (he was diagnosed with a speech delay) instead of his screams...but he still screams at times, and now I know why... It can feel frustrating, or embarrassing, especially while u're in Walmart and everyone is looking at you, but please know you are not alone... What I do in Walmart is just accept the fact that my son screams and smile...even while he's screaming...b/c there's nothing I can do to stop it...
