Comment on How do I stop hating children?

Whether they’re laughing and having fun or screaming and throwing a tantrum. The sound of a child being loud activates an almost primal rage that I can barely contain.

This is actually a neurological thing. It has a name and everything (though I can’t recall what the name is). A lot of people on the spectrum have it.

  That's the fear of soy paste.

    That’s misophobia, misophonia is when you don’t like how soy paste sounds.

    Soy paste sounds would absolutely trigger misophonia for me, so you’re not wrong! Haha.

    As dumb as this comment is, you’ve just guaranteed that I’ll never forget the name of this problem, so thanks for that

  I have this too. The sound of chewing is like nails on a chalkboard all through my bones. It's awful.

  Never hurts to check.
  
  Unless you’re American and don’t have health insurance. Then it might hurt.

    I have it. The sounds of people eating, especially slurping or crunching, are literally repulsive. I have to have something else to train my focus on or else I’ll get up and bolt.
    
    Other repetitive sounds trigger it too: people popping gum, chewing ice, clipping fingernails, etc. But not too bad with keyboards and typing.

    I’m not sure if I have it or I’m just an irritable asshole, but I certainly gave pause when I first read about it because plenty of sounds people make absolutely do feel like a nail being driven into my brain, inducing a feeling of unrepentant anger that is tough to let go of. Though, they’re usually sounds most people also find irritating. Like lip smacking and nostril wheezing. At what point is it not simply a common irritation and it becomes a disorder? 🤔

Yep, autism was my first thought too.
