a literature review of Misophonia in autism

In a 2025 study, Aldakhil synthesized the prevalence, clinical characteristics, psychiatric comorbidities, and treatment outcomes of misophonia in autism by systematically reviewing 14 studies following PRISMA guidelines. They found that misophonia was more prevalent among autistic individuals than the general population, frequently co-occurred with psychiatric conditions and sensory hypersensitivities. they concluded that misophonia is a distinct sensory condition requiring standardized diagnostic tools and tailored, multidisciplinary interventions, though not a unique marker for autism diagnosis (Aldakhil & Shaik, 2025).
