THINGS FOR YOU TO KEEP IN MIND
-
It’s important to realize that misos are unable to tune out what we’d consider background noise
-
Individuals with misophonia have limited control over their reactions
-
Misos can’t simply “get over it,” so be mindful of what you say
-
Ask about special accommodations at school or work for misos you know
-
Remain calm during trigger noise situations
-
Know that the miso’s reaction to a trigger noise is toward the noise and not the person producing it
-
Though it may be hard at times, try not to take misos’ negative reactions personally
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP
-
Visit online support groups and forums to gain more insight into misos’ experiences and feelings
-
Remain calm during trigger noise situations
-
When appropriate, ask about special accommodations at school or work for misos you know
-
If you see someone making producing a particular trigger with a miso you know nearby, speak up
-
Spread the word and educate others so they can be more mindful, too
