Savard (2022) interpreted the observed distribution of MisoQuest scores, together with converging findings from prior work, as evidence that misophonia symptoms are relatively common in the general population, with clinically impairing misophonia reflecting the extreme end of a continuous symptom distribution rather than a categorical condition. (Savard et al., 2022)
- they specifically cite (Zhou et al., 2017), but I have not verified this citation yet
- they talk about this continuum of a specific sound sensitivity spectrum, with Misophonia on one end and ASMR on the other. they did not give this idea a name so i will call it the specific sound sensitivity spectrum. a limitation of the MisoQuest is that it cannot assess both ends of this possible spectrum (Savard et al., 2022)
