The "Butterfly's Whisper" Blog

Welcome to my blog. I hope by sharing my own misophonia experiences, others who are frustrated with misophonia sensitivities will discover that they're not alone. I also hope that people who may not have misophonia will gain some insight about what it's like to have this condition.

Please feel free to post any comments or use the "Contact Us" page if you have any questions/comments you don't want to post online.

Dealing with Misophonia at Work and school

I've written many a post about my struggles - and successes - when trying to deal with misophonia triggers at work - not only in the office but also while traveling for conferences and going to business meetings with clients at the job site. Recently, Wendy Aron (a professional writer who posted many misophonia-related articles on the Psychology Today website) wrote an article where she interviewed Jan Johnston-Tyler, the founder of EvoLibri - a company that helps  "neurodiverse" people cope with their conditions in situations such as in workplace environments but also in general life environments as well.

Although I don't know anything about EvoLibri, their website looked interesting and Aron's article  provided many suggestions for how to address misophonia concerns at work. I recommend reading it if you struggle with misophonia in the workplace. The article can be found at:

Aron also wrote an interesting article that focuses on misophonia in school environments, where she offers suggestions for support options in public schools. That article can be found here:

I have Misophonia and I find it impossible to go through a day of school without getting angry and upset and find myself in such a state that I do things I can't control. I'm looking for ways to cope with school hours to make my life at school and him easier and less stressful for me. I found this helpful

    About the Author

    Emlyn Altman has been suffering with misophonia for over 35 years, even though she only found out about the actual medical condition much more recently. As frustrating as the condition has been over the years, her heightened sensitivities across all the senses considerably influenced her talents within the visual fine arts (particularly sculpture), music (singing, piano, and many other instruments), writing, and culinary backgrounds, as well as professional achievements as an architectural lighting designer. Her goal in developing this website is to promote more awareness about misophonia and help other sufferers as well.
