My autistic son has a melt down when people clap and cheer, especially after the happy birthday song. how can i help him cope with this?

Autism : It would be best to limit him to this exposure. You can remove him from or keep him from the areas where this is likely to occur or ask others to refrain from this activity if he needs to be present.
