Misophonia Research Survey!!!

This is not my project, this is copied and pasted from a Reddit post with permission from the OP.

Investigating Potential New Technologies to Produce Accessible Solutions for People with Misophonia:

Hello! I am a Physics student at Imperial College London. In collaboration with a fellow Physics student and a Design Engineering student, we are working on innovative technologies to support individuals with misophonia. The inspiration for this project stems from the challenges faced by my little sister, who experiences misophonia.

We've successfully advanced to the second phase of a competition that, if we proceed further, will provide substantial funding and support for the development of these technologies. However, we cannot do this alone. It is essential that we incorporate people with misophonia in the development of this idea in order to make it as helpful as possible. For this reason, we have devised a survey. The valuable insights gathered from this survey will guide us in creating more effective and tailored solutions.

Our ultimate goal is to develop a low-cost, accessible solution that can significantly improve the lives of those dealing with misophonia. It is very important to us that we are able to incorporate the experiences and needs of the misophonia community into the heart of our project.

Your participation in our survey would greatly contribute to this effort and help propel the growth of these new technologies. Thank you for your help.

I hope one day they put misophonia in the DSM bc it's actually fucking debilitating and messes with my ability to have good relationships with my coworkers and causes me to isolate more than i really should and sometimes I literally have to stop working and go hide somewhere and wait for however long I think is a reasonable amount of time for someone to finish a bag of chips or smth

[afterartist]

Also I forgot to post this one

(Definitely gonna do a more InDepth post for this for this AU)

But I was inspired by a few other AUs, namely Anxiety sans by @hheisa and ADHD sans by @/gudulle

Seeing other people make sans AUs with disorders inspired me to make one based of a disorder I struggle with but not many people know about,

So meet Misophonia sans!!

Misophonia (also known as Selective Sound Sensitivity Disorder) is an Anxiety disorder (thought to be a negative cousin of Synesthesia and also had heavy links to PTSD) where the sufferer, upon hearing certain triggering noises, with go into a full blown panic attack,

The response can vary from person to person and even just day to day, but most common are the urge to flee the situation, cry/shut down or attack the person making the triggering noise in an attempt to silence them

Most common triggering noises are related to chewing or breathing, I myself can accidentally set myself off from my own breathing and it’s horrible, (also a common misconception is it being the loud noises that trigger Misophonics, but more often then not it’s the quieter sounds) though this is actually quite different from the noises that regular people get upset by

There’s a huge difference in being annoyed by a sound verse actively trying to deafen one’s self to avoid the trigger noises

Also, side note, if someone tells you they’re struggling with Misophonia and you think it’s okay to deliberately make their trigger sounds to upset them please block my account and never interact with me, you are deplorable.

Anyway, I can’t explain all about Misophonia in a single post with a rough sketch, so i implore you to go research some more on your own, but I will definitely be making more posts about this lil guy

Ps: some of the only slightly positive/interesting news about Misophonia is that it’s been found Misophonics usually seem to have a stronger positive reaction to music then non Misophonics :D

[statement-of-whoever-the-hell]

I just realized that a couple of Protocol episodes have warnings for common misophonia triggers in the descriptions. I've had miso for 13 years and I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that. That's really kind of the creators, I'm touched.

[moonsidesong]

does anyone who's used sleep headphones have any good recommendations ?

i have a pair of regular NC earbuds that i get very good daily use out of but they're not great for sleeping in bc i normally sleep on my side and they're pretty chunky.

i'd really only need them some nights (if someone i know would be snoring in the same room as me mostly) so i'm not too concerned about battery life, i just wanna know if anyone can point me in a good direction for strong noise cancel sleep headphones bc they can be pretty pricey so if i can i'd like to hear from other misophonic folks before i think about buying anything myself ;__;

Humans Are Weird: Auditory Processing Disorder

Report # 306

Topic: Auditory Processing Disorder

APD: disorder of the auditory (hearing) system that causes a disruption in the way that an individual's brain understands what they are hearing.

Four days ago I was doing my monthly meeting with the electrical department, receiving updates on our monthly usage, needed parts, and checking up on general morale. (The transcript of that meeting is already turned in.) After the meeting we had refreshments and I discovered Lucy (previously mentioned in report #286) pouting in a corner. I inquired what was bothering her. She said, "The ship's head medic just diagnosed me with APD but he wasn't trained to treat it." I asked for further information on the condition. She listed several of her personal symptoms. "It means I don't always catch what people say. It feels like my brain doesn't want to listen. In one ear and out the other making me look stupid to however I talk to. It's connected to my misophonia, and the fact I was born really premature."

I was unsure how to comfort her so I made no effort. This seemed to work for Lucy kept speaking.

"And what's worse is there's nothing I can do! We don't have a speech therapist aboard or even any research materials! Its starting to affect my work performance. On top of decoding, hypersensitivity, and prosodic problems, I have integration issues which mean its really hard for me to focus on what people are saying when I'm doing something. Which freaking sucks when you're part of a team!" I had no clue what she was really talking about but gave her a hug (human gesture of enveloping one in your arms as a sign of comfort or safety), and she apologized for "venting" to me.

She then spoke on how her crew mates just thought she was "slow" or wasn't good at her job. They questioned if she was capable because she would follow directions incorrectly and she was worried she'd be replaced with someone "less problematic". I tried to assure her that I would help anyway I could on her behalf. Never again will I doubt a human's sincerity.

After some of my own personal research I have made a list of the different types and their definitions for your education on the subject:

Hypersensitivity – Hypersensitivity to sound is often diagnosed as misophonia or hyperacusis. Misophonia is when people have adverse physical reactions to sounds, such as becoming nauseated by the sound of chewing or slurping. Hyperacusis, on the other hand, is characterized by a sensitivity to sounds. For some, this means that white noise can be deafening, even causing physical pain.

Decoding – Decoding difficulties involve a lack of figuring out words that are spoken. They hear the sounds, but their brains do not process them as words.

Integration – Integration applies to those who struggle to do multiple things while listening. Such multi-tasking may be writing notes and listening, or having conversations while typing an email.

Prosodic – Prosodic refers to people who have trouble with tone, inflection, and implied meaning. A question and exclamation are processed identically in their brains. Their speech is also often monotone.

Organizational – Finally, organizational, or output, is often characterized by not recalling information in a specific order or having difficulty with noisy situations.

Honestly, Humans are so diverse and unpredictable. To think that different "problems" or " abnormalities " within their mind or body can lead to even more similar issues astounds me. They are so intricate in a way my species has never been. Despite the struggles that their disorders, and conditions being, I think it's strangely beautiful. Maybe that's just me, but I have a new appreciation for them.

I am requesting the presence of a speech therapist, whether physically or digitally, to be readily available to our crew. We must also add APD onto our medics research requirements. It is not an overly complicated subject to be fluent in. I also request that Lucy's diagnoses be added to her list of wrongful termination along with her gender, age, and race. No one should feel their position is at risk because of a disorder or disability. I also request that a written copy of daily instruction be printed for her if necessary. She is one of our best electricians and I mean to keep her employed here as long as she wants.

Hi! Hope you don’t mind, but could I ask for Byakuya Togami, Teruteru Hanamura, Byakuya (Imposter) and Ryoma Hoshi with an S/O who has misophonia? Feel free to adjust it if this is too much- thank you!

request | byakuya, teruteru, ultimate imposter & ryoma x S/O with misophonia

type | light hearted , non killing game , gender neutral reader

byakuya togami ♡

at first, he thought you were just slightly bothered by certain noises

"it's a good thing we don't have to hear this all day, now isn't it?" he remarked turning a page in his book

you two had gone on an outdoor date, sitting on the poolside of a resort

it was amazing, but loud

you brought up your misophonia to him, with byakuya researching it later on when you two were about ready to settle down for the night

during the weekend, he had taken you to buy top quality noise cancelling headphones

then, the next day, he took you to a very nice restaurant that he knew had a quieter atmosphere

whenever you get triggered by a noise, he'll squeeze your hand without a word until you feel better

teruteru hanamura ♡

you get especially irrate when you hear the clanging of pots and pans in the kitchen and the light clinking of silverware

"whatever is the matter sweetie?" teruteru places his hand on the small of your back. you hadn't realized he noticed

you explain your misophonia to him and how the noises he makes affects you

he looks troubled, but then has an idea

he hands over a speaker to you and tells you to play your favorite songs "play it all as loud as you want, i'll be here~"

he works as quiet as he can in the kitchen, eventually calling you over to the table for dinner

ultimate imposter ♡

his house is rather quiet, but it's next to a street that's busy very often

holds you tight when you start feeling panicked because of the loud noises coming from outside

he'll cup your ears and stroke your hair until you feel okay enough to sit up

he usually eats crunchy things, such as chips, away from you to prevent you getting triggered by his eating noises

ryoma hoshi ♡

he's usually quiet anyway so being with him goes smoothly most of the time

if you get triggered by any noises outside, he'll instantly put on some relaxing music

"wanna go lay down by the cat and listen to him purr?"

ryoma lets you cuddle him while you intently listen to your cat meow and purr quietly

"see?" ryoma yawns, the calm atmosphere making you both sleepy "you're alright." he reassures you

໑ৎ♡ About The Creator ♡໑ৎ

I’m Rhysand (pronounced Reese-Sund), also known as Rhys (pronounced Reese). I’m a Neurodivergent, Queer, and Nonhuman Reality Shifter.

Neurodivergent Identity:

I’m undiagnosed AuDHD (Autism + ADHD), APD (Auditory Processing Disorder), SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), and Pure O OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), medically recognized PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder), and diagnosed MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) and GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder). I’m also undiagnosed PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and/or PME (Premenstrual Exacerbation).

I also have a few other undiagnosed things, like BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder), Misophonia, Excoriation Disorder, and Trichotillomania. Those are things that just come along with my “main” mental illnesses and neurodivergencies.

I don’t yet have the confidence to say that I’m disabled (because I don’t wish to intrude on that community or mislabel myself), but I probably am, due to my severe daily executive dysfunction and a few other things.

I have special interests in Wings Of Fire, Harry Potter, Dragons in general, and Neurodivergency.

I have no current hyperfixations, and I’m incredibly low on dopamine.

Tone tags are very appreciated when talking to me, so please use them! If you aren’t sure how, just ask and I will let you know! <3

Shifting Things:

I first found shifting in 2020 or 2021 on Tiktok, and as soon as I heard about it, I did my own research on it. I started trying to shift often, even with my lack of knowledge on the subject and my poor mindset. I originally wanted to permashift and/or respawn, but after I realized just how much it was effecting me mentally, I took a major break from it for about 3 or 4 years, only trying to shift occasionally.

I found shiftblr in early 2024, and my shifting knowledge increased, my mindset improved, and my motivation was renewed.

I’ve shifted once to a parallel reality, where I relived/redid a day.

I’m considering permashifting to my Better CR DR, but I have way too many DRs, so we’ll see how that goes.

Queer Identity:

I’m very queer in the gender, NOT a girl or under the womanhood category, and I use He/They pronouns + any/all neopronouns, nounself pronouns, xenopronouns, and emojiself pronouns.

My most preferred pronouns are He/Him, It/Its, Xe/Xym, Ze/Zym, Ne/Nim, Ne/Nym, 🌙/🌙’s/🌙self, Moon/Moonself, Bug/Bugself, Bee/Beeself, and honestly a lot more. Go haywire, as long as it’s not She/Her, you’re all good.

I’m AroAce, Aromantic and Myrsexual (Neuroasexual, Nebulasexual, Requiesexual, Rosesexual, Merosexual, Placiosexual, Falsaesthsexual, Acorsexual, Apothisexual, Bellussexual, and Dreadsexual), and I’m Homoalterous, Omniqueerplatonic, Panexteramo, Pansensual, and Panaesthetic.

I’m a Lesboy and T4T-leaning.

I’m Ambiamorous and have no preference.

Please use masculine, neutral, creature, fey, dragon, wolf, and thing terms when referring to me.

Nonhuman Identity:

I’m a Polytherian, Otherkin, Otherlink, Otherfix, Otherhearted, and Fictionflicker. I fluctuate between Nonhuman and Human, sometimes one is stronger than the other one and visa versus, but always on some level both, but I mainly just say I’m nonhuman. I’m Transspecies and Voidpunk. I’ve only been awakened for a few months.

My theriotypes are Vancouver Coastal Sea Wolf, Red Fox, Nurse Shark, Snow Leopard, Norwegian Forest Cat, and Canada Lynx.

My kintypes are fictionkin (Dark Fey, Forest Type, from the Maleficent movies), dragonkin (SeaWing/SilkWing hybrid), dragonkin (Night-Light Fury Hybrid) and Raccoonkin.

My linktypes are Owl (Snowy or Barn) and Sable.

I’ve been Fictionflicker for Hylian and one of my OC species (Orphinki).

I have a Whale Shark Hearttype.

Other:

I’m taken by my lovely boyfriend ( @thesunnishboy ) and I’m not looking for any more partners.

I’m celiac, have a dairy intolerance, have pollen allergies, and a dust allergy, plus probably allergic to other shit, so woo for me. (Sarcasm.)

I’m a minor (16).

I’m Agnostic, a bit spiritual, and I’m very respectful of others’ religions.

I have one sibling (She/Her), and she has two accounts on here, although she isn’t that active.

[misophoniatroubles]

I was reading a research paper on misophonia and they described misophonia in a really neat way.

"[Triggers] don't cause an internal reaction, thoughts, but an external one, anxiety/emotional."

THIS is what the stupid 'exposure center' i went to didn't understand. ANXIETY AND EMOTIONS DON'T ALWAYS COME WITH THOUGHTS. SO PEOPLE TELLING YOU TO CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS TO CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT MISOPHONIA DOES!!! *shaking myself by the shoulders*

[witchywriter18]

Draco Malfoy with a girlfriend that has Misophonia

At first, Draco is unaware of the fact you're sensitive to certain sounds.

Although when you sit with him and his "friends", Crabbe starts eating. LOUDLY!

While it annoys him as well, he can see you physically flinch at every little sound.

It seems that every second Crabbe chews, you start to get more and more agitated.

At this point, both your ears are covered and you're close to tears.

"Crabbe, haven't you stuffed your face enough? You're like a bloody pig."

Crabbe stops eating while you let out a breath, removing your hands from your ears.

Over the next week, Draco is observing your reactions to certain sounds more. Seeing which ones make you irritated and which ones you enjoy.

When he asks why, you tell him you have a condition called Misophonia.

You explain that Misophonia makes you react strongly to sounds like chewing, snoring, and repetitive noises.

He asks if there's some sort of cure or treatment, to which you shake your head. You then go onto explain that it's usually a chronic condition with no known cures.

Without your knowing, Draco goes to Madam Pomfry and asks if she knows anything he could do to help you.

Draco has never written notes so meticulously in his life.

So instead of inviting you to have meals with him and his group, he sits with you and your friends instead (could go different ways depending on your house)

If someone is tapping their quill in class, he presses your ear against his shoulder, his hand covering the other one to drown it out.

Draco also finds a very quiet corner in the library away from other people when you want to read or study.

Madam Pomfry also gave Draco some research material on your condition, which is where he found out Muggles made these reusable earplugs for people with sensitive hearing.

So without his father's knowledge, Draco got some money exchanged for Muggle money and looked at shops for them during a holiday break.

It took him a couple of days before he actually found a pair, getting them in your main house color.

When school returned from break, he presented you with the gift.

The Slytherin had lipstick marks all over his face by the time you finished thanking him.

All in all, Draco is very supportive and caring when it comes to you having Misophonia

Idk when exactly Misophonia was actually made aware but I just decided to go with Draco for this scenario. I actually have Misophonia and it's actually very annoying to deal with. The strongest I've ever reacted is when my dad is snoring, especially when I'm trying to watch a movie or show or play a game and he falls asleep. Sometimes it gets me close to tears it's so loud, making my ears register it as an extreme irritant. But yeah, currently no cure or treatment except just figuring out how to live with it.

Hi there, Neurodivergent! I’m Rhysand (pronounced Reese-Sund), also called Rhys (pronounced Reese). I’m a Queer, Nonhuman, and Reality Shifting Neurodivergent. This blog was made for my Neurodivergency, my special interests and my hyperfixations, and everything else to do with my neurodivergency. There will be positive posts, silly posts, relatable posts, negative posts, and more here.

Neurodivergency

♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩

I’m undiagnosed AuDHD (Autism + ADHD), ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), APD (Auditory Processing Disorder), SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), and Pure O OCD (“Purely Obsessional” Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), medically recognized (but undiagnosed) PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder), and diagnosed MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) and GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder).

I’m also undiagnosed BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder), Trichotillomania (hair pulling/picking disorder), Excoriation Disorder (skin picking disorder), and Misophonia.

I’m undiagnosed PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and/or PME (Premenstrual Exacerbation), and hopefully soon can be diagnosed.

Questioning POTS, HSD or EDS/hEDS. (NOT claiming to have this or self-diagnosed as of yet, I am still doing research, but I do have lots of signs that point to these things.)

My special interests are Wings Of Fire, Harry Potter, Dragons in general, and Neurodivergency.

I have no current hyperfixations that I’ve noticed, and I’m extremely low on dopamine because of it. /silly /srs

I have verbal shutdowns, shutdowns and meltdowns in general, I mask without realizing it a lot, and I’m usually in burnout. I also have severe imposter syndrome that I deal with literally 24/7.

Tone tags are very much appreciated when talking to me, so PLEASE use them! If you aren’t sure what they are or what they mean or how to use them, please just ask and I will happily let you know! <3 /gen

I used to cope by using maladaptive daydreaming, so I relate a lot to maladaptive daydreamers a lot.

I struggle with violent and horrible intrusive thoughts (due to my OCD) and have for years now since I was a kid.

I have lots of trauma, both remembered and not remembered, so beware.

I’m a SI and SH survivor and in recovery.

Queerness

♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩

I’m a bit of a gender hoarder, but I don’t use that as my label. I usually call myself a Genderfluid Genderflux Non-Binary TransGuy, but just think of me as a mash of all the genders I experience.

Currently, I don’t know what gender I’m feeling.

I use He/It/They/Xe/Ne/Ze/Love/Wolf/Star/Moon/🌙/Sun pronouns + any/all neopronouns, nounself pronouns, xenopronouns, and emojiself pronouns. Basically, everything EXCEPT She/Her.

I’m AroAce, Aromantic and Myrsexual (Neuroasexual, Nebulasexual, Dreadsexual, Acorsexual, Apothisexual, Falsaesthsexual, Bellussexual, Rosesexual, Requiesexual, Placiosexual, and Merosexual), and I’m Homoalterous, Omniqueerplatonic, Panexteramo, Pansensual, and Panaesthetic.

I’m Ambiamorous with no preference.

I’m also a Lesboy and T4T-leaning.

Nonhumanity

♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩

I’m a Polytherian, Otherkin, Otherfix, Otherhearted, and a Fictionflicker.

I have a Vancouver Coastal Sea Wolf Theriotype, a Red Fox Theriotype, Nurse Shark Theriotype, Snow Leopard, Norwegian Forest Cat, Maned Wolf Theriotype, Coyote Theriotype, Side-Striped Jackal Theriotype, and a Canada Lynx Theriotype.

I have a Fiction Kintype (Dark Fey, Forest Type, from the Maleficent movies), a Dragon Kintype (SeaWing/SilkWing hybrid), another Dragon Kintype (Night-Light Fury hybrid), Angel, Silver Fox, Avian (humanoid with wings and tail) and a Raccoon.

I’ve had Fictotypes for Hylian, an OC species of mine, Orphinki, Sable, and Owl (all).

I have a Whale Shark Hearttype.

I’m transspecies, humanfluid, pseudohuman, sunnonhuman, and voidpunk.

I fluctuate between Nonhuman and Human, although am always on some level both, just other times are stronger for one and the other not so much, but I refer to myself overall as just Nonhuman. My soul is a combination of human and nonhuman.

All of my Nonhumanity is due to a combination of Past Lives, Fate, and Neurodivergency. I believe I was all my ‘types in past lives, and only found out about it in this life due to my neurodivergency.

I’ve been awakened for only a few months now. I want gear, but I don’t have any right now. I’m making my own wings currently, and I hope to have them done soon if my ADHD brain will allow me.

Reality Shifting

♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩♫♩

I’m a Reality Shifter, which means I move my consciousness from one reality into another one.

I do believe in the multiverse.

I’ve known about reality shifting since around 2020 or 2021, and started my journey then.

I spent a lot of my time trying to shift, even though I didn’t have the proper mindset or knowledge to shift.

I took a huge break after trying for only a month or so, only trying to shift occasionally.

I’ve come back to it in 2024 after finding shiftblr, having more knowledge, a better mindset, and more motivation.

I’ve shifted once to a parallel reality, where I relived/redid a day.

I have way too many DRs to count, and I’m thinking about permashifting to my Better CR DR.

[beomiracles]

Hii ^_^ okay so i have misophonia (getting triggered by special sounds like typing and ect.) i was wondering if you could do reader having this and just snapping?

By the way I really like you're writing <3

「 please be quiet 」

DREAM RECALL in which your boyfriend triggers your misophonia.

pairings txt x gn!reader warnings descriptions of different sound triggers, Beomgyu's might be considered slightly suggestive toward the end.

#serene adds ✎... had to do a little research about the subject before I wrote, hopefully I captured it in a way that does people with this condition justice, if not lmk >.< also ty for appreciating my writing, that makes me so happy :3

YEONJUN

The small restaurant you and Yeonjun always went to was fairly crowded on this particular day. The buzz of different parties conversing, wine glasses being clinked together and silverware being scraped against plates, were all noises that filled your surroundings.

Yet you could only seem to focus on one thing. And that was the insatiable tapping of your boyfriend's fingers. The way they would drum against the wooden table in an ever so rhythmical way.

Yeonjun mindlessly glanced around the room as you waited for your food to arrive, seemingly unaware of the light motion of his fingers. For whatever reason it made your heart beat faster and faster.

Soon the tapping was all you could hear and it filled every fibre of your body. You felt anger rising within you, frustrated by your boyfriends ignorance and unawareness.

Finally you slam your hand flat against the table. The silverware makes a harsh noise and your boyfriend jumps in his seat, the two of you earn confused glances from the nearby tables.

"Babe?" Yeonjun asks hesitantly as he takes in your frustrated expression. "What's wrong?" he adds and your anger only increases at his dumbfoundedness.

"You, your─" taking in a deep breath, you try and steady yourself before you say something you might regret. Reminding yourself that he didn't do it intentionally and meant no harm.

"The tapping, I hate it, please stop doing it", you lower your voice to an appropriate level.

Yeonjun looks at you, seemingly confused though he quickly nods. "Alright, sorry I didn't mean to, babe" he says as he chews on his bottom lip, a nervous habit of his.

"No, I'm sorry", you sigh, "I shouldn't have reacted like that, it's just...hard to control", you mumble, feeling rather ashamed over your sudden outburst.

Your boyfriend takes your hand in his, a small smile on his lips, "it's okay, I'll be more careful".

"And I'll tell you straight away next time", you add as you lean over the table to press a kiss to his lips. Yeonjun smiles, "deal".

SOOBIN

Soobin had taken you out for an ice cream date that weekend. It had been one of your best dates yet and you found yourself enjoying every moment in his presence. Well almost every moment.

The two of you had walked around the park for a while before sitting down on a nearby bench as you finished your ice cream. Your boyfriend being the fast eater he was, had finished his own long ago.

As your gaze wanders over the beautiful scenery, the persistent tapping of your boyfriend's leg against yours, rips any sense of peace from you.

Soobin always seemed to be restlessly tapping his leg no matter the occasion. Most of the time you managed to ignore it, the sound wasn't particularly loud and you would often occupy yourself with other stuff.

But in the quiet park, as your legs touched, you could not only hear the faint tapping but also feel it. It made your ice cream taste sour.

For a while you tried to ignore it, you tried to think of anything else, anything to get your mind off the rhythmical taps. It didn't work, you felt goosebumps spreading across your arms. Soon you couldn't take it anymore.

"Can you be fucking still?" you half-yell out and your boyfriend freezes next to you.

Immediately regretting your harsh choice of words as you meet Soobin's confused and anxious gaze. "S-sorry?" he says, his voice laced with hesitancy.

You bite your bottom lip to prevent yourself from ruining things further. "Did I do something wrong?" you boyfriend asks as his brows furrow together.

You shake your head, "no, I'm sorry─it's just the...you tapping your leg like that", you whisper as you twist the ice cream in your hands. Soobin's eyes widen as he seems to realise what you had meant.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't think─"

"It's okay", you reassure as you give him a smile, "how could you know?". Soobin gives you a small nod though he keeps on apologising over and over.

You cut him off in an attempt to quiet his rambling, "wanna share the rest of my ice cream?" Your boyfriend returns your smile as he nods, "that'd be nice".

BEOMGYU

Beomgyu wasn't a messy eater, he was just, well he was something. Or maybe it had to do with your already oversensitive hearing. Or perhaps it was the loud crunch that followed each bite of a chip, the rustling of the bag currently in his hand.

Whatever it was it gave you a hard time focusing on the movie the two of you were watching. Shifting around on the spot, you try and block the sound out.

Your boyfriend doesn't seem to notice, too caught up in the movie displayed on the large screen. With every bite he took you felt yourself growing more and more annoyed.

It wasn't Beomgyu that irked you, just the conceding sound of the chip being broken down into tiny pieces in his mouth. It made your nose scrunch up in disgust.

Eyes trained on the screen, Beomgyu's free hand mindlessly moves to rest on your thigh. Usually you would take great comfort in the gesture. But right now it just irked you further.

You push his hand away.

Your boyfriend turns to you with a frown, "what's that for?". You grimace, unsure of how to explain yourself. Instead you reach for the bag of chips in his hand.

As you snatch it from him Beomgyu raises an eyebrow, "if you wanted some you could've just asked", he mutters as his eyes move back to the screen.

You didn't want any though. You just wanted the rustling thing out of your way. Discarding it on the other side of the couch you turn your attention back to the movie.

"Hey, why'd you place it all the way over there?" Beomgyu complains as he leans over you to grab the bag once more. "Don't!" you exclaim and your boyfriend freezes in his tracks as he gives you a confused look.

"I can't stand it when you eat like that", you blurt out, unable to hinder yourself. Eyes widening as you realise what you've just said but Beomgyu only grins.

"Then you'd better find another way to occupy my mouth", he breathes as he leans in to press his lips against yours. Perhaps you would.

TAEHYUN

Your boyfriend always seemed to be engrossed in his work. No matter what time of the day, he'd always have a call to make, an email to answer or a post of some kind to submit.

Today was no different as your boyfriend typed away at his computer. Knowing better than to disturb him, you were quietly reading in the armchair in the corner of his room.

Though no matter how hard you tried to focus on the words on the pages they never seemed to register. Instead your thoughts were interrupted by the persistent typing of your boyfriend.

The light tapping of Taehyun's fingers against the keyboard echoed like hammers against steel in your ears and you found yourself squeezing your eyes shut in order to block the noise out.

Huffing out a frustrated breath, you shift uncomfortably in your chair your boyfriend doesn't seem to notice your comfort as his eyes remain glued to the screen.

The typing continues, almost feverishly. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, TAP, TAP, TAP, TAP─

"Quiet!"

Your words echo through the otherwise silent room and Taehyun turns around in his chair to look at you, a concerned expression on his face.

"Please just─ just be quiet..." your voice is a lot meeker now as you glance between the book in your hand and your confused boyfriend.

"I am..." Taehyun then says as he looks to you with a frown.

You shake your head, "no, you're not". Your boyfriend's frown deepens as he opens his mouth to question you further but you beat him to it.

"Your typing".

"My typing?" Taehyun asks as he turns around fully in his chair. You nod as your gaze flickers down to your back hesitantly. "It...it hurts my ears", you say and your boyfriend's eyes widen slightly.

"Hurts?"

Letting out a frustrated sigh, you run a hand through your hair. "Well yes, not like─ it doesn't harm me physically but it...I can't.." you groan, growing frustrated at your lack of ability to put words on your feelings.

Taehyun gets up from his chair as he walks over to you, kneeling down before you. "I understand", he then says as he takes your hand in his. You look from your book to meet his gaze.

"How about, no more work today? Just you and me", a gentle hand cups your cheek and you give your boyfriend a small nod. "Okay" you whisper as you lean into his touch.

Taehyun smiles as he presses a soft kiss to your lips. "Let me know if I ever hurt you again", he then says, "I don't want to do that".

HUENINGKAI

The sun has yet to rise when you're awoken by a faint noise. Groaning as you sit up on the shared bed of you and your boyfriend, you glance toward the clock on the bedside table. 3.29am.

The rhythmical snoring of your unconscious boyfriend beside you has you realising why you were currently awake.

It wasn't like he could help it. Snoring was a perfectly normal thing. But there was something about the way his breath would go raggedy with each intake before he exhaled sharply, that made you tick.

Trying to suppress the noise, you lay back down. You toss and turn, press your pillow over your head. Nothing helps.

It wasn't that it was annoying, no it physically made you sick. The way your heartbeat would quicken, chills running down your arms and spine at the repetitive sound.

Soon you couldn't take it anymore, letting out a frustrated groan you shoot up from the bed. Not even caring if you woke your boyfriend, you grab your pillow and a blanket before heading out to the living room, slamming the door shut on your way out.

As you get comfortable on the couch, having brought along some ear plugs, just in case, you realise that the snores had stopped. The door to your shared bedroom slowly creeps open and Huening appears in the doorway.

His sleep filled expression immediately sends a pang of guilt to your heart. "m' what's wrong?", he yawns as he drags himself over to the couch, his brows slightly furrowed in confusion.

You shake your head as you fiddle with the earplugs. "Sorry I...I just couldn't..", your voice is barely above a whisper as you turn to look at him.

"My snoring?" he asks and you nod. This wasn't exactly the first time it had happened. "Sorry", he mumbles as his frown deepens and you immediately shake your head again as you place a hand on his shoulder. "No, it's okay, really", you reassure but your boyfriend doesn't seem convinced.

"I can sleep on the couch 's no problem", he says as he eyes the pillow and blanket you had brought with you. "Huening, it's fine don't worry just go back to sleep", you whisper as you try and move him off the couch.

"Can't let you sleep out here, love", your boyfriend wraps an arm around you as his head falls to your shoulder. He yawns, "come back to bed, I'll just stay awake".

A smile finds its way to your lips, "I doubt that". Your boyfriend frowns against your shoulder, "I will".

Running a hand leisurely through his ruffled hair, you let out a tired sigh. Just as you're about to suggest that the two of you watch a movie to pass time the light snores return.

Though this time they only make you smile as you gently push Huening down on the sofa. Pulling the blanket over his sleeping figure before giving his forehead a light kiss, you then tiptoe back into your bedroom.

You loved your boyfriend, despite his snoring.

Claudia Strife was the best/meh-est at this whole having a kid thing

Disclaimer: I haven't raised a neurodivergent child and am not an expert.

I like Claudia being simultaneously a not-great and super mom for neurodivergent Cloudy. I see her being undiagnosed neurodivergent (ND) like so many women are, and only figuring out WHY she's the way she is because she goes on a researching spree for her baby.

Like she has NO IDEA what she's doing, and she's all alone in the world except for Cloudy, but because she has to figure it out and has nothing else to go on, she develops her parenting naturally and goes with what she would have liked as a child (unless that doesn't work).

She only knows some basics, like "don't shake the baby" and "don't drive your daughter into questionable decisions by being an unsafe home and never educating her". Other than that, she has to create it all from scratch. Other parents hate on her for her style, but other parents don't have a neurodivergent kid who's just like her and just like his dad and nothing like their easy neurotypical kid who hit their developmental milestones exactly on time.

Sometimes their issues both hit at once, and he's screaming, she's screaming, he's crying, she's crying, nobody's having a good time... But then they also GET each other. Someone GETS her in a way no one ever has before. They use little noises and non-words and hand signs to communicate. They learn sign language together because Cloudy was speech delayed, and they keep using it because sometimes talking is too much.

Sometimes they sit together in front of the fire, not talking, not interacting, both absorbed in their separate special interests.

Sometimes they each go to their own rooms to do that, then come out into the common areas of they're open to attention. After a certain age, Cloud just naturally doesn't go into Her Space without being explicitly invited or having a really bad nightmare.

They both UNDERSTAND when that tag is too itchy, or that noise is bad, or how sometimes you just need to bury your nose in an old pillow and scream because the smell from the neighbor's still is too much.

They're very direct with each other.

"Cloud, you're going through puberty and you stink. Wear deodorant." (while throwing a stick of deodorant at him.)

"Mom, if you cook onions one more time, I will go live in the woods for the rest of the week." (and he does. and has a great time.)

Claudia HATES being told what to do, so in the marrow of her bones, she understands when Cloud gets stubborn.

She lets him stim any way he wants unless it triggers her misophonia, in which case it results in screaming, crying, lying on the floor, and punching the punching post she set up in the back yard for both of them.

The teachers call Claudia a bad parent and gossip behind her back and don't take her seriously when she tells them how to handle a meltdown...until Cloud freaks out so much that he vomits and passes out. Then they start listening a little to her advice, but still hate on the two of them.

Cloud has a special blanket that he won't let go of for any reason ever. It is therefore filthy from never having been cleaned.

Claudia: I think its gaining sentience, honey, we need to wash it.

Cloud: *meltdown at the thought*

Claudia: *steals it at night to wash*

Cloud: *whole-day meltdown because it feels and smells and looks wrong*

Claudia: *repeating under her breath* it's worth it, he was going to catch polio from it. It's worth it, he was going to catch polio from it. It's worth it...

--------------------------------------

Cloud has a...complicated...relationship with mythical figures, and honestly? Claudia gets it. If she tried elf on a shelf, she'd find dismembered elf body parts buried behind the house so it "couldn't come back to spy on me".

-

Tiny Cloud grumpily sitting on the stairs with a toy shotgun: ...

Claudia: Watcha doing, sweetheart? Guarding the house for Santa?

Cloud: Guarding FROM Santa! *Grumpy birb noises because he doesn't want the big red man to break into his home*

------------------------------------------------------------

In canon, she lets him run off to Midgar at age 14. In my HC, this is partly because she was only a few years older than that when she struck out on her own, and look, she did fine!

She also knows he's stubborn and is going to go, come hell or high water.

Most of all, she loves him. She loves her Cloud so much.

Wondering what is happening with misophonia research? Progress is happening. [Read More]

HAPPY MISOPHONIA VISIBILITY DAY!!!

Someone that had misophonia is sensitive to certain sounds, and hearing those sounds cause a severe reaction, usually intense anxiety or anger. I personally get panic attacks and either shut down or become angry. Common triggers are often repetitive sounds like chewing, typing, tapping, footsteps, and many more.

(Keep reading for more info on misophonia!)

Interesting note: Other mental disorders, namely anxiety disorders, cause problems in the parasocial nervous system. This nervous system is in charge of keeping people from danger, so it’s in charge of the “what if”s. When misophonia is triggered, it causes distress in the central nervous system! So misophonia causes physical pain!

There is no way to ignore it, no way to cure it, and there is a severe lack of research on it. There are only coping mechanisms like headphones and noise machines. Oh, and please note that you cannot “get used” to the triggers, so exposure therapy does not work. In fact, being exposed to the triggers makes it worse! So please, if anyone asks you to stop chewing or doing a noise so loud, at least try to be understanding.

Happy misophonia visibility day!!!

[adhbabey]

anyone else feel pain with loud noises? Like two ceramic dishes clashing together, or a pop of a balloon, or something else? Like, am I the only one?

My partner mentioned stuff the other day about misophonia, and I came across hyperacusis by researching about it. But I don't think what I experience is severe, I just do feel pain when I hear loud/sharp noises.

Is this normal ? Can someone tell me about it? thanks.
