That's what headphones are for. If loud children get on my nerves, I put them on, and listen to my music.

Yes! The most painful sound imaginable. The music of hell is a chorus of screaming children.

I can't stand loud noises from children. It's very painful.

The annoying sounds children make, especially screaming/crying, is right up there with fire alams and sirens on a list of sounds that drive me crazy. I have never liked children or had a desire for them, for multiple reasons. I'll stick to cats, thanks. :)

Sounds likely! Although, the wild screaming of adults might be more scary, since they don't just scream wildly at the drop of a hat like kids do.

I'm not in the spectrum, just my kids are. I don't think this is an NT/AS thing, it's just a kid/adult/youth thing. You do kind of get used to it when it's your own kids, you have to, but I don't think anybody ever likes it. I do not allow my children to touch each other. They do, sometimes, but the OP would have been in trouble in my house too, but so would the younger children if they were very loud.

Sometimes I just send mine outside. We have a large backyard where they can scream all they want without being overly annoying to anybody.


Yes lot of people are bothered by screaming kids but they do they go into sensory overloads or have to keep on alert for them making loud noises so they don't jump they are unable to do anything else like concentrate on what they are doing. I can remember someone saying here how he missed his stop because of a screaming child. I can imagine how would miss his stop. All his focus was on the kid he was unable to pay attention to when his stop came.

Anyway screaming kids does more effect on people on the spectrum.

I have a friend who is a bit older than I and never wants kids...I actually get along better with people who dont have kids. I love my kids because they are mine but other Im not a really big fan of other peoples kids. I love my nieces and nephew but when visiting them I had to remove one of them from me because I dont feel right disciplining other peoples kids (even if they are related to me) and I dont want to be a tattle tale! I respond to kids I dont know the same way I do to people I dont know. Dont know how to talk to them or interact with them because I havent been around them long enough to figure them out. I do, however, love little tiny newborns and babies up to a certain age.....they excite me as much as puppies and kittens.
Some of these posts are kind of disturbing....I mean, I understand not handling the noise but just remember....you were one of those whining, screaming kids once too, lucky for you, or hopefully no one went around smacking you or beating you!

I don't think punkykat meant she does it, she says she wants to but she doesn't because she knows of the consequence.

There may be things we want to do but we don't do it because we know it wouldn't be okay or we be seen as the bad guys for it and we don't want the consequence to our actions.

Tried that, but at times they scream so high that they overpower my headphones.

Of all the loud noises i dislike children are the second worst, only screaming grinding metal on trains that break are worse (but they are also louder). I really hate it when moms are just standing there not applying a pacifyer or even attempting to tell them to be quiet...

Speaking as a 15-year-old... I'm always tolerant towards children unless what they're doing is personally affecting me. If they're just being children, I don't even bother myself by getting annoyed because it's not an issue. If they're laughing in my face or spitting saliva all over me, I won't hesitate to tell their parents to do a better job.

I hate children noise, it makes me mad. I hate children smell. They stink and make me sick. I'm the last person to be a babysitter.

I miss turns when I'm driving all the time because of my screaming Aspie kids. Ironic, isn't it. These same kids can't stand anybody else making lots of noise, but they sure can dish it out. I'm not in the spectrum at all and totally go into sensory overload on a daily basis because of it. That's my life, backwards.

I always have my iPod with me and fully charged just for that reason. Screaming kids is the most annoying sound in the world. I wish they would have "screaming" and "no screaming" sections on airplanes.

I have to depart ways on this one, because sirens, esp. tornado warning sirens is one of my unusual interests. I can listen to sirens blaring all day and be very happy, but screaming kids? NOOO!!
