ABSTRACT
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently experience decreased sound tolerance (DST), which reduces their social interaction
and engagement. The purpose of this perspective piece is to look at the gap in the literature concerning the possible genetic and functional
bases for the comorbidity of ASD and two distinct types of DST, hyperacusis and misophonia.
