Its all about control


Something interesting struck me about J and all his "issues". He will indeed bring the whole place down around him at the mere mention of a hoover or anything electrical. I always assumed that it hurt his ears. If so why is it when he tales control of a situation he can tolerate almost anything.
E.g. The little drill from his play doh set. If I was to produce it let alone switch it on, he would be hysterical, inconsolable but he i now in at the kitchen table happily drilling away. If any of us pick it up, all hell breaks loose. He will run from the room screaming with his hands over his ears....sometimes even cowering.

Is it a control issue?? Can somebody explain this one to me? Is it the first step to battling his demons and dealing with the loud craziness that is our world. Sound effects J so much and I would do anything to help him........but how to do it????? Anyone??
