“Misophonia, I try to equate to an allergy. It’s not a phobia, it’s a neurological sensory thing. And so there’s a difference between ‘I don’t like peanuts’ and ‘I’m allergic to peanuts.’”  

-Cris Edwards

 

Today’s guest is Cris Edwards, founder of soQuiet, a nonprofit that offers advocacy, support, and resources for people who suffer from misophonia. Cris sits down with Staci to discuss the struggles of growing up with undiagnosed neurodivergence, how people can make and seek accommodations for individuals with misophonia, and the importance of believing everyone’s lived experiences.
