I started this summer with hope for the best year for my garden. The summer has come to a close with the new hope that we can find help for my youngest son, Colin who is now 12.
What a difference a few months make.
What we thought were a few quirky reactions to certain sounds and visually to ceiling fans, blew up over the last few months. We found out that my son has a neurological condition called Misophonia. It is a sound processing disorder that miscues certain sounds to create a flight or fight response similar to P.T.S.D.
One of the most frustrating aspects of Misophonia, also known as 4s (Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome) is that it is not recognized by most of the medical community and that there is no known cure (yet). I have started a new blog to chronicle our journey.
You can find me here: http://misomanicmom.blogspot.com/ where I continue to hope for the best!

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope Colin can get help, and learn how to deal with this disorder.
I'm so sorry that Colin has to suffer with this disorder. I can't imagine the frustration of knowing, as a mother, that something is traumatizing your child, and not being able to easily find help. Saying prayers for Colin and you.
