🎉 “We Lit the Birthday Candle. She Screamed and Ran.”
rekha and anand planned a small celebration for their daughter’s third birthday.
Five people.
Two balloons.
One song.
But when the singing started, their daughter covered her ears, burst into tears, and ran behind the curtain.
“We thought she was shy. Or sensitive. But it happened again at the temple. At a wedding. At every festival.”
Every celebration became a source of fear.
🧠 When Joy Feels Like Noise
At Pinnacle® Ambattur, therapists explain that for many children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) or early signs of autism:
“Celebration is overload. Bright lights, clapping, music, hugs, textures — all coming at once. Their nervous system doesn’t filter. It shouts.”
Common signs:
- Screaming during happy events
- Refusing party clothes or shoes
- Covering ears or eyes
- Avoiding family photos
- Hiding or running during group activity
📞 They Didn’t Want Labels. Just Relief.
When rekha called 9100 181 181, she wasn’t looking for a diagnosis.
She said:
“I just want her to enjoy her birthday next year. Not hide from it.”
The counselor booked them for a free AbilityScore©® Sensory Zone Screening at Pinnacle® Ambattur.
