On a serious note I do doubt her diagnosis of Chester having PTSD and being afraid of loud noises. As others have pointed out he goes to soft play which make me feel hungover when I haven’t drank the night before. Them places are so noisy. Even swimming pools can be noisy places with the sounds echoing around. Shopping centres aren’t exactly calm and serene. He seems quite happy to be out and about and doesn’t seem like a reserved child at all.
I have a needy child trust me I do know the pain of a child that is overly sensitive to just about everything but I literally refer to him as my sensitive child I don’t label him just to excuse his behaviour.
