LEAP

To review materials submitted by misophonia researchers, clinicians, and other content creators in an effort to:

• Assist researchers, clinicians, and content creators in understanding the needs and viewpoints of those with lived experience of misophonia, in general.

• Help researchers develop research topics and hypotheses about misophonia that are informed by first-hand experience and represent the misophonia community.

• Support researchers and content creators to better understand the impact of wording used in social media posts, research papers, blog articles, presentations, news publications, and more to help build a more cohesive representation of misophonia that includes accurate lived experience.

• Support and uphold ethics in research as stated by the National Institutes of Health with the understanding that science and its institutions are vulnerable to disability discrimination, racism, sexism, homophobia and the like. LEAP will attend to the potential intersection of scientific research and these forces of oppression that are sometimes repeated within the practice and production of science and scientific knowledge.
