I love the 4th but it is always a traumatic time of year for my autistic son ( he is 10). He is absolutely petrified of fireworks- even when I keep him inside and put ear phones on him- and do everything I can think of under the sun to drowned out the noises. He still hears them and screams and cries.
I usually end up laying in his bed with him, rocking him to sleep (imagine a 5'4 118 pound mom with a 65 pound 4'8 kid being rocked and there you have me, ROFL).
Needless to say, after the 4th, I might end up back on some meds.
