Update on the recent global focus on Misophonia event that was held Saturday, which is hard to believe but was yesterday.

We had a wonderful time and we had nearly 100 people sign up and indicate they would come and it was wonderful to hear the three presenters from South Africa, Africa, and Australia, and Norway.

Will be posting this on our website, of course, and also here.

These events have been so rewarding and people have been so interested to ask questions and participate and we’re looking again for three or four more locations to showcase in this coming September 2026.

Please let us know if you would like to be one of those individuals or organizations. We hope to fill up our special website for this endeavor with dozens and dozens of presentations over the next few years.

Takeaways from this event included the fact that Misophonia is still a mystery disorder in most of the world. Too many people don’t even know the name. Access to treatment is limited or to even access to individuals who know anything about it is quite limited. It appears that many places that this condition is just treated as some kind of mental illness or emotional disorder.

We should not be discouraged by this news however, we should be feeling inspired to take up the banner of spreading Misophonia awareness and creating systems that can support the people who suffer with it.

We really need more regional support groups and in country in your own language organizations that can help you understand in your family as well.

This is a great area for volunteers so if you read this and you’re in a location that perhaps has little access to any of these kinds of things, let them Misophonia Association know and we will assist as we can at least in this endeavor.

Looking forward to even more progress in this 29th year of the journey.

The most heartbreaking part of Misophonia is the moment the young child begins to suffer the consequences of this condition.

The onset of Misophonia has been found to be between the ages of 9 to 13 for the majority of those who suffer with these symptoms.

These are very young children who don’t have the maturity or the capacity to analyze their situations and alert others around them as to what is exactly going on.

They react in the way a child reacts when they get stung by a yellow jacket .

They cry out, they get upset, they lose their tempers, they feel completely attacked and off-balance, and unable to figure out what to do to make it stop hurting .

And the worst thing is that they can’t go to the people they need to comfort because many times one of the parents is the trigger.

It’s really quite an unfair situation to inflict something like this on an innocent child . I have conducted hundreds if not thousands of interviews over 30 years with families who have had a child develop Misophonia and It often turns on almost like a light switch one day . Or you could say it was like a lightning bolt .

Many adults remember those moments when their Misophonia began and they can describe it quite accurately. That makes sense because that moment is a moment of extreme human trauma . And life is never quite the same after that moment .

We must maintain our efforts to gather up every bit of information we can about this terrible condition and distribute widely and keep it freely available and reach out to help others .

At the Misophonia Association we’ve been doing our part really since 1997 and the official association was founded in 2013, but it had been growing strong as a movement for the previous 16 years.

We don’t care who figures it out and figures out what to do about it. It can be anybody really we are not particular about it at the Association. We just want it to happen for the sake of these beautiful young people who become almost instantly miserable and unhappy, and it’s a very tragic situation.

We must maintain our hope and our strength and our efforts and carry on as best we can until that moment arrives!
