Neurodivergent individuals — those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurological differences — experience frequency illusion at higher rates and in distinctive ways.
Why Neurodivergent People Have Higher Frequency Illusion Rates
- Navigating a world designed for neurotypical people creates chronic stress
- Masking neurological differences is psychologically costly and drives frequency illusion
- Sensory processing differences can make frequency illusion triggers more intense
- Social difficulties associated with neurodivergence can increase isolation and frequency illusion
How Frequency Illusion Presents Differently in Neurodivergent People
In autistic people, frequency illusion may be expressed through behavioral changes rather than verbal report. In ADHD, frequency illusion may be difficult to distinguish from executive function difficulties.
