Thanks for the kind words.Would love to hit a show someday maybe when Joes older and I can bring him along.Hes 7 and knows a horn from a wave guide ;) just jokin wish I did. He does perfer front horn systems he covers his ears for most others types says dady turn music off [his words] his hearing is dif from ours must be something that bothers him.For awhile I set him up with abbys he watched movies played vidio games with the abbys, when I played his music cds he said turn it off[not a man of words but thats exactly what he said].When I played same disc mins later on massive front horns he just danced.Only systems he will listen to music on now are front horns.If I took him to a show now he would just cover his ears.

But my ex-wife (still on good terms) is a special education teacher and has experience with autism. If I (we) could ever be of service please ask. She might be able to help in ways you might not of thought of or simply clue you into rights you aren't aware of. For example, your local school system would have to pay for a private school if it can’t meet his needs.
Over the years I have learned a bit and can say that the fact that you and your son are close and work together are very important. Some think the problem is one of sensory overload. Working on social skills and the ability to handle outside stimulus is good therapy. I work think taking him to a “show” would be very stressful unless he has a very mild case though.

Thanks for the offer but we are lucky to live in Dane county WI Joes in a few programs already and doing well.School is very helpful we also hire folks to work with him in our home.
Sounds like the Joe Test is pretty exacting! Maybe he is acutely aware of distortions that most of us are not conscious of, but that probably contribute to listening fatigue over the long haul. What a gift - the rest of us struggle with measurements and listening tests long enough that some sort of fatigue inevitably sets in, and you have access to an instant go/no-go guage! Seriously, I can see how Joe could play an extremely valuable role in developing a new design.Yeah, an audio show would probably be torture for him, unless he likes to wear earplugs. But I'd love to see the look on people's faces. You and Joe step into a room where the multimegabuck Ultimatic Extremo's are playing, and Joe quickly pulls out his earplugs and screws them in good and tight...
Best wishes to you and Joe and all of your family,
Duke
