Has he tried wearing foam ear plugs to reduce the auditory stimuli? They might be just enough to prevent the relapses.

You should even watch for delayed symptoms. If he makes it through a day at school but feels poorly the next day, that is likely a delayed symptom of the previous day at school.

My best to you two.
Mark - thanks again for your compassion and sound advice. We'll continue to keep a close eye on things.

I'll continue to update this thread as things progress in the hope that it has future use for a parent going through something similar.
