We took Kevin to a music concert at a local high school to watch one of Kevin's favorite people perform. It was a good opportunity to give him what I hoped would be a positive experience. I felt like the odds were good since Kevin would know a familiar face up on stage. Plus it helped that our friends were sitting with us and Kevin did great! He started out a little nervous and cautious but he willingly put the noise canceling headphones on before the show started. He can definitely tolerate loud sounds in circumstances when he knows what to expect but if it's new and unfamiliar then it helps him to wear the headphones. I loved watching him process it all...wearing the headphones to help himself in a new situation; smiling when he recognized songs that were sung acapella (Home & William Tell Overture); and best of all finding his friend on stage. Overall a very good experience.
