My daughter was always sensitive to loud noises. As an adult, I finished my college degree, and learned about asperger's syndrome while getting my teaching credential. It seemed she was a littler aspergy. My daughter made it through school and graduated college but never got a job that fits with her high IQ/intelligence. I also realized my husband probably has Asperger's. After my degree and teacher credential, I taught elementary school, mostly 2nd grade. At the time, classrooms were supposed to be noisy group projects, all working together. I always made sure there was plenty of quiet time for my students, who needed quiet time. I think most children do need quiet reflective time to figure things out. I think our society has become too loud. Understanding and quiet time is good for all of us.
