'My rare condition means I can’t eat Christmas dinner - it's so bad I moved away from my parents' A teenager has admitted he's never been able to join his family for christmas-dinner>Christmas dinner due to a rare condition that triggers intense anger at the sound of chewing.
Grayson's misophonia is a condition that makes him extremely sensitive to everyday noises and even moved out of his family home because he couldn't bear the sounds his parents made.
Grayson Whitaker, who suffers from misophonia, experiences severe emotional reactions to common sounds such as breathing, yawning, sniffing, and particularly chewing.
"I have never had Christmas dinner with my family so I don't have those nice memories," Grayson shared with What's the Jam.
The 19 year old's condition is so acute that he opts to isolate himself in his bedroom during festive meals to prevent an outburst of rage.
