Also, children with neurodivergence are very highly sensitive to stress, more than other children. I don't think this lady should be speaking publicly on this topic

Put him in timeout?? This is unhelpful.

It's not really fair to say that it's brought on by stress because it's actually a neurological condition. Of course stress can make it worse but this assessment feels far too simplistic and can heap more of a weight on parents who are already struggling to give their children the best lives possible.

My son had the same thing for about 5 months. But it has stopped since. I tried many methods and at the end, i just helped him control it. Eventually went away.

That would be extremely annoying to listen to - it sounds like a loud repeated sneeze, not a 'grunt'.
