Saw this passing my Mastodon feed, watched it and found it relatable. Maybe an ok resource to share to all and help spread awareness? What do you think?

I absolutely related to several of the elements of this video -- but there's one issue that I don't deal with quite as much myself, that I know my daughter struggles with: misophonia. I'm going to have to show this video to her, as I think that bit with the bird noises probably conveys a good sense of how she feels about certain sounds.
