Through chatting with a few others that reached out, I am back on my game now. I am still going to take him to the doctor (which is a mess of situation worthy of another post in, and of itself) but I am going to try some new things in the meantime. Some of those I detail in the comments section of the post, so I'm not gonna relay them here, too. However, one thing that occurred to me was that maybe it was time to do another de-cluttering of Bean's toys. He tends to get really overwhelmed easily when he has too many choices. I try to keep his amount of available toys to choose from neat, organized and at a minimum to help him. For some reason, it hardly ever occurs to him to dig through toy boxes to find his favorite items. If he can't find something in his line of vision to play with he will just not try, which renders him bored, and irritable. I am aware that the totality of the situation does not rest on the organization of his toys, but I do think it might help.
I thought to myself as I was preparing to do my usual cleaning routine that if my son does well with certain things in certain orders than maybe others might benefit from it, too, so here is my tutorial on how to help arrange play areas for children with visual sensitivities:
