My husband is a noise junky. He has to have a continuous stimulus of sound. The t.v. , the radio, the cd player, the computer, if it hums, whirls, toots... he's got it turned on. I come home after a day of noise and dream of silence.
(hmm, should this go under relationships, behavior or sensory? [:D])
I've worked with both.
I've had kids who will scream, collapse and be almost paralyzed with fear from an unplanned fire alarm. I've also had kids who would laugh, collapse to the floor and refuse to leave because they love the noise so much.
The parallels between "normal" and "special" can be very revealing![:D]
