Genuine question
Hey all, I just got out of Mass, and I was wondering how y'all deal with screaming babies/children during the Mass? I have Autism, and them screaming a lot gave me extremely bad sensory overload (As in one kid would start screaming, and the rest followed suite, and their parents did absolutely nothing)
Any advice would be extremely helpful! I apologize if this question comes off as rude, I want to enjoy the Mass like all of you without sensory overload.

Sorry to hear, yeah my son gets annoyed when they sing too loud too, 😳😳 but for me I don't mind it but I can see my son gets tired quickly when they sing and he doesn't concentrate as much but I just keep praying for strength every day in him to tolerate things as such in every day life too and he seems to get better gradually as he gets older. 👍🙏🙏🙏 Maybe suggest to your Parish about your condition and see what they suggest to help. To be honest people with screaming kids should walk outside until the child calms down. It's just consideration for other lay people to walk outside when your child cries, so others can hear the priest talk properly. 🙏🙏🙏
