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
