AMA - Shaylynn Hayes-Raymond, Author of Sensory Diversity (Releasing Today), CBT for Misophonia, and Misophonia Matters. Answering questions TODAY (Sept 1) from 7am ET to 7pm ET to celebrate the book launch.

Sensory Diversity is a psychoeducation and neuro-affirming book following the MATTERS approach to living in a neurotypical world with a neurodivergent body. Sensory Diversity includes practical advice and support for coping with sensory dysregulation. This book offers a neuro-affirming model of neurodiversity and more specifically focuses on the sensory-based challenges that neurodivergent persons face in day to day life.

Who am I? I am an author, advocate, and therapist (LCT-C) as well as the director of The International Misophonia Foundation. I have misophonia and have been an advocate for sensory diversity since 2015. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I'm also super obsessed with my cats and playing the Sims.

Misophonia Conference – Helping Children Cope with Misophonia - August 30th, 2026

Helping Children Cope with Misophonia

August 30th, 2026
10 am Eastern to 2pm Eastern

Helping Children Cope with Misophonia is an upcoming virtual conference exploring misophonia. This event is for anyone seeking to better understand misophonia and how it impacts children. This conference is specifically for clinicians, parents, educators, and those who offer support to children with misophonia or sensory dysregulation. This conference also serves as a way to fund our research, education, and outreach programs and provides funding for The International Misophonia Foundation. 

Misophonia involves strong negative emotional or physiological responses to specific sounds, like chewing or repetitive noises. Our conference aims to deepen understanding of misophonia and its impact by combining cutting-edge research with practical education.
You’ll gain insights into current research findings, learn effective coping strategies, and hear valuable personal experiences. Our goal is to empower those providing care to children with misophonia with reliable information and practical tools.
