Has anyone had a child with mastocytosis and Sensory Issues?

Candice has had some sensory issues.  We really noticed big time on her 3rd birthday which was in March.  When everyone was singing happy birthday to her she held her hands to her ears and yelled for everyone to stop and be quiet it was too loud.  She has issues with most loud sounds and some with textures like she does not like grass to touch her skin at all!  Right now it is thought that she may possibly be on the Autisum spectrum with the sensory issues and she is awaiting an appt to be evaluated at the Myers Center here in Houston, TX.  Could take several months, it already has been.  I was just wondering if anyone had experienced this or something similar.  Thanks!

Bella was like that when she was a little younger. Certain noises would freak her out like ice clinking in a cup and most loud noises. When she was one she didn't like grass either. The grass thing stopped after a month or so and noise stopped bothering her by the time she was one.

Candice didn't start till she was nearly 3 (just before March) so I have no idea if it will go away but she is getting better about some of the sounds but not the grass at all.  What's funny is that sirens don't bother her at all.  It's almost like she doesn't even hear the firetrucks, ambulance, etc.  Strange.  Her hearing test showed that she can hear sounds that we cannot...thought that was strange too! lol  Wondering why she doesn't hear me then...just good at tuning my voice out especially when it's something to do with cleaning her room! lol

its the tones, i can hear most sounds others can not. Serten loud tones will hurt my ears, while some tones r vary hard to hear at all. Try changing your tone when u think she cant hear u.
