RE: Re: Just a coincidence??

I wouldn't say it was environmental, because my mom and her dad had mild misophonia as kids, however, it went away. I have level 6 misophonia, and even though it's much more severe than what my grandpa and mom had, it's got to be genetic. Didn't someone say on here it was a brain abnormality? I'm not sure a clean environment could do that. But maybe the environment makes a small influence; most of us haven't had 4s since birth. It started for me at 6.

Just out of curiosity, what were the first sounds that started to bother your daughter when she developed misophonia? Was it something environmental she could hear from that house, or the more usual mouth/people noises?

A lot of neurological disorders may or may not show until an environmental stressor provokes it, setting things off balance...I was taught this in a child psychology course I just completed this summer during my Maymester courses.Sent from my iPhone

My daughter started with the classic misophonia symptoms.  First with her sister’s chewing and then it progressed into the typical sounds.  I think it is just a bizarre coincidence.  And I feel that misophonia is very very common!

Interesting.  The other girl apparently had moved in around age 9 which is the common age for it to begin.  She also mainly is bothered by chewing.  The house is/was very quiet—no weird sounds.  I just find it very strange.  I keep in touch with the people who bought my house and I felt bad when a couple of appliances broke within the first year.  But I feel really horrible about their daughter getting misophonia.  I some how feel responsible!

No one knows yet why misophonia develops or if every person follows the same pathway.

Back when I thought it was just me, I always assumed that if I'd never heard the first sound, the rest wouldn't have happened.

(Note that others in my family also thought the sound unpleasant, but it didn't cause them to stick their fingers in their ears and run cringing to the other end of the house).Someone else on the list who has misophonia himself described how his daughter developed it at age 13, but it was initiated after his wife drew the child's attention to some irritating sound and thereafter she couldn't stop noticing it. What if that hadn't happened? Would something have triggered her misophonia eventually, or might it have remained in check? Are there people out there with latent misophonia that has never been initiated by anything?That's why I wondered if there was some triggering sound that both girls heard at the house. Even if so, it is still a coincidence that they both had the capacity to develop misophonia. But perhaps there was no sound and the whole thing was a coincidence.Liesa> > >> > > I just found out that the girl who moved into our old house (after we moved to build a house with acoustic insulation for my daughter’s bedroom who suffers from Misophonia) now also has misophonia!

No, we are in the suburbs of DC.  City water is really good although can have high manganese sometimes.
