Misophonia is a form of autism and studies have shown that Misophonia is linked with autism.

A lot of kids and adults who have autism also have Misophonia and some people who do have Misophonia can also be affected by autism as well.

People with autism also have a sensitivity to loud noises which people with Misophonia also have.

The Misophonia condition is a disorder where certain sounds can trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable given the circumstance.

Misophonia is a real thing and some people just cannot deal with other sounds that some people love listening too.

For example my brother who is younger than me has Misophonia and also autism and he cannot deal with being around kids who make loud noises.

He used to live down the street from me but had to move out in the woods away from people because although he liked the kids that lived in town he could not deal with the sounds of the kids playing.

He also does not want any kids because he said that he would murder the baby because of crying and he cannot deal with loud noises.

So he said while he would love to have kids he just cannot because he could not handle it.

It's a real health issue when people cannot stand loud noises and constant noises that some people actually enjoy.
