IJ is a 16 year old boy with a diagnosis of autism, severe learning disability and ADHD. IJ was referred to Middletown Centre for Autism following reports
made by school staff and parents regarding significant episodes of aggressive and negative outbursts during transport to and from school and in the
classroom. It was also reported that IJ had some toileting and self-care issues.
IJ communicates his needs through physical movements, visual aids and some vocalisations. In school, IJ was observed to cover his ears, shout and
occasionally hit out when faced with an activity, lesson or situation he did not like. This has been observed in the school environment in response to noise
and other auditory stimuli and at home in response to hair-cutting, nail-cutting and showering. It was hypothesised that IJ’s difficulty processing sensory
stimuli may have contributed to some of his outbursts.
In school IJ demonstrated difficulty remaining on task, was easily distractible and vigilant. He responded positively to 1-1 adult support with all tasks and was
prompt dependent and unable to work independently. He seemed nervous and anxious in noisy environments and in engaging in novel activities or
unpredictable environments. When sitting during table top activities it was observed he continually kept moving and would flap objects such as towels and
jumpers.
