Sarah Martin investigates the virtual world of Roblox with the profile of an eight-year-old girl with parental control settings turned on.

'I’m in the world of Roblox, where block-like avatars transform themselves to explore a universe comprising millions of user-generated games. The platform boasts more than 100 million active daily users. Almost half are children under 13 and, in Australia, a 2024 study found that children who used the site play for an average of 137 minutes a day...

Over the course of a week I log on to the platform as a child to experience first-hand the gaming app of choice for Australian children. In my short time there my avatar is cyberbullied, aggressively killed, sexually assaulted and shat on – all with parental control settings in place.'

It really is a thing...even if it's not widely recognised medically...

At just 8 years old, Trevor’s life changed.
What started as a simple strep infection became something far more complex — sudden OCD, anxiety, and tics.
After two years of misdiagnoses and trial treatments, he was finally properly diagnosed with PANDAS.
With the right care, Trevor got his life back — back to school, back to sports, back to being a kid. 🧡

Misophonia Might Be a Brain Regulation Disorder

Misophonia is more than just an aversion to sound—it reflects a pattern of emotional and cognitive inflexibility.

Individuals with misophonia struggle to switch between emotional tasks and often report rigid thinking and persistent negative thoughts.

A new study found that these traits are not simply side effects of anxiety or depression but may be central to the condition.

The results suggest misophonia may belong to a broader class of neurocognitive conditions defined by inflexible attention and emotional control.
