In this episode, I speak with Fay, a Los Angeles-based multimedia artist, actor, and filmmaker who's working on a comedy-horror short film about misophonia. Diagnosed with severe misophonia along with autism, ADHD, fibromyalgia, and several other conditions, Faye considers misophonia one of the most disabling things she deals with daily. We discuss her creative approach to raising awareness through her film—which features a student literally splitting into two people when classmates start chewing gum—her experience growing up in a Soviet refugee family where mental health wasn't discussed, and how her conditions intersect in complex ways. Fay also shares her crowdfunding campaign to pay disabled crew members for the project, and we talk about representation, advocacy, and using comedy to help people understand this often-invisible disorder.
