#208 - Exploring neurodiversity through a misophonic lens.

Imbi is an author who came to my attention earlier this year when she published her novel “Kind Of, Sort Of, Maybe, But Probably Not”, which features a lead character who has misophonia. Imbi shares her experiences with misophonia, discussing how it affects her daily life, relationships, and creative pursuits. She emphasizes the importance of communication with loved ones about her sensitivities and how she manages to balance her writing and parenting responsibilities. The discussion also touches on the broader implications of neurodiversity and identity, and some of the unique challenges faced by those in the misophonia community.
