#tourette's syndrome
Text
recently saw post that goes like
''if you are young and going out in public with a mobility aid there probably will be an ''able-bodied'' kid watching you and feeling less alone. and just maybe they might try taking their aid outside, someday.''
(i copied it some parts)
dont wanna derail a post from physically disabled, (even tho i am one i think)
and god i wanna be that, i wanna be that person, that young person who tics and stims in public, who uses disability aids (if thats the correct word!) in public, such as earplugs (god bless that woman i saw in bus that also had the same earplugs that me!), noise cancellation headphones, stim toys, chewelry, etc etc, be ''weird'' in public.
i wanna be that teen that lets other kids know that its okay to be like that, we are different, but everyone is different somehow you know? i wanna let little kids who are also like me, kids who may be different for society that its fucking okay!! for god's sake you dont have to adapt to some perfectionist idea for people, and i understand not being able to.
bc of ableist parents, friends, family, etc, bc of own internalized ableism... but i know someday you will be free, you will tic and stim, and be weird, and be a ''freak''! reclaim the word! and you will shout to the top of the world, to all the people, that you Are Free.! and no one will take that away from you. no one can if you dont let them
i wanna be that teen, i wanna be that kid that is an inspiration for others, not in a ''inspiration porn'' for abled and neurotypical people, but for people like me.. for people who are similar to me, who just know understand how shitty and lovely the world can be, who are learning but dont forget that you will never be alone,
i spent most of the 10 years with my tourettes feeling that i was Alone in this world.
but i am not.
people can be so kind to eachother, people can love so much, and there will be people who will not have the same condition as you, but will support you no matter what, doesnt matter if its online. You have people who care!!!

I have Tourette's/some tic disorder, and some of my tics are to say "You're beautiful" and "I love you" out loud. I usually whisper my vocal tics and they trigger most often when I'm alone.
I had the realization that the ghosts in my house probably feel flattered by me, until I also remembered some of my other tics are to say things like "I fucking hate you" and "you fucking idiot"
The ghosts in my house get mixed signals. Sorry ghosts :(

tourette's swag tournament
a tournament to decide who has the most tourettic swag <3 definitely based on all the other nd & such swag polls <3
what is tourette's? a neurological tic disorder. tics are sudden twitches, movements, or sounds that people do repeatedly. tics are something people with ts cannot control <3
rules:
this competition is limited to fictional characters! no real people!
the character does not canonically need to have ts because... then we wouldn't actually have much to go off lol
use vibes to nominate! characters that have tourettic traits!
i will not be accepting any s.outh p.ark or m.inecraft-streamer-type characters. s.outh p.ark isn't Great rep and the streamer thing is confusing for me personally lol
ngl to y'all i will be including a few characters that i personally hc with ts and i just. i will be including them. very important to me.
submissions will be open for a week, until march 26th
submit your nominations here!
#hi friends#i caved#everyone see my ts hcs i am proud of them <3#i was going to just do one on my personal account but i didn't have enough for a bracket:( like i had Enough but the numbers didn't match:(#aNYWAYS HI I HOPE THIS IS FUN AND IT WORKS OUT!!! ik ts isn't like. something a lot of ppl tend to hc but. feelings.#if the world won't give me rep then i'll do it myself thanks <3#i Think the link worked lol#tourette's syndrome#tourettes#actually tourettic#tournament#idk what else to tag#lol

Eurovision Fact #460:
Norway's 2021 representative Andreas Haukeland, otherwise known as TIX, developed the aforementioned stage name as a means to take ownership of his experience growing up with Tourette's syndrome.
His music video for his Eurovision entry 'Fallen Angel' was inspired by his experiences growing up where he faced heavy bullying for his condition.

one of the annoying things about tourette's(at least for me) is that whenever I remember something embarassing from years ago, it almost always almost immediatly triggers a tic

It's Tourette's Awareness Month!
To celebrate Tourette’s awareness month, I want to share my first ever Tourettic headcanon. Maggey Byrde. She’s hyperactive, restless, easily irritated and is known for having bad luck just follow her around, which is often what having Tourette’s feels like. It’s no one’s fault, it’s just bad luck, and it causes many problems in its wake. But despite all of the difficulties she faces, and the judgement she gets from a neurotypical world, she still has such a go-getter attitude and never gives up on trying to live a normal life.
Tourette’s has taught me so much about life and trying to find meaning and appreciation for life. So here’s to all of us.
Thanks so much to @probablygayattorneys for making this edit for me!

so! it's tourette's awareness month! i wanted to take a second and describe what it's feels like to suppress tics for y'all since i don't think most people truly understand what it feels like <3
so, the first thing tourettics usually say to get non-tourettics in the feel is: imagine you have to sneeze. you know that feeling? that build up to the sneeze? it feels like that. now try holding back the sneeze. try forcing yourself not to sneeze. that's what it feels like to suppress. sometimes, people use the blinking analogy. you know, try to see how long you van go without blinking. it starts getting uncomfortable after awhile, right? maybe it strains your eyes? maybe it hurts? that's what it feels like to suppress.
but… suppression is a little more than that, in my experience. actively trying not to tic or to hold it back is a more intense version of trying not to blink or sneeze. the feeling differs depending on what tic(s) and our mental state and physical surroundings (noise, textures, who you’re with, where you are…) but here are some other ways suppression can feel...
it can make you restless. i had to suppress a bit the other day (long story), and it made me restless. it made my chest feel all tight like it does during an anxiety or panic attack (sometimes, suppression can lead to those or a tic attack). sometimes, suppression makes it hard to breathe because of the panic and utter concentration. because, yeah, suppression takes a Lot of mental energy. it makes you hyper aware of everything you do, say, how you move…
sometimes, it can be like a sharp pain. sometimes, it’s an intense tingling sensation. sometimes, weird as it sounds, it sounds like static in my ears.
it feels like there’s a little bubble inside your stomach and all your tics are being confined in there. they’re beating and trying to get out. or sometimes, that little bubble is breathing on its own. like breaths are being taken in that bubble and they aren't your own. and it’s Uncomfortable.
sometimes, it makes your skin crawl. sometimes, it sends alarm bells ringing in your ears. just now as i was typing this, i tried not ticcing my stupid finger tic the whole and i felt panicked for half a second because my brain sent this wave to my body that went “something’s wrong so something’s wrong something’s wrong you did something wrong bad bad bad”. and even now, as i type this and try not to tic, i’m swallowing more because i’m uncomfortable and my fingers are starting to feel weird and tingle and itch. it’s like something is trying to burst out of them and they feel so weird and want to tic because ticcing is the only way to relieve that build up but i’m denying it that
aaaaand i just let myself tic and instantly felt better. well, better aside from the bit of pain that tic gives me. it’s not bad, but slamming my finger into my phone screen over and over again until it’s slammed “right” can hurt.

Shoutout to people who have "annoying" and "uncomfortable for others", type of tics.
Shoutout to people who tend to have a lot of tic attacks.
Shoutout to people with coprolalia, copropraxia, etc.
Shoutout to people with "bad and ugly" tics.
Those who's face get twisted, and looks "ugly"
Those who can't do anything because of their tics.
Those who struggle with walking, eating, etc.
I see you
And I don't think you're a bad person for it, I don't think you're a burden for others, you aren't, you are as valuable as people without tics.

I’m a Palestinian American, and watching everything that’s going on over there is absolutely heartbreaking. I’m thinking of every group of people that’s being affected, but my mind keeps hanging on to the people with Tourette’s. I just know their bodies are going through absolute agony, but everyone is going through agony.  Please, in whatever country you are in, no matter your capabilities you do have an impact on this, protest, spread information and call your government! Boycott companies if you can, and don’t stop talking.

Ableist Story Time!
Sooo it was my final day of driver ed, stopped at a red light, all going fine, humming n tapping my fingers, just stimming a bit, only some very minor and infrequent facial tics... I wasnt hardly doing anything "odd", merely not masking. And then the driving instructor asks me "Did you take your medicine today?".
ō_ō
Bitch? What?
1. Thats not something you ask a stranger
2. Her tone was,, idk how to describe but it didnt help make what she said less-ableist-feeling/ less offensive
3. In asking that she was essentially saying "i think youre acting crazy" and/or "you seem unfit to drive because of this behavior" (the behavior was extremely mild and its not her job to decide if my illnesses prevent me from driving or not)
4. I don't take medicine for tourettes or for ASD, so idek what "medicine" she was referring to. She doesn't know me. If I wasn't on any medicine she would essentially be telling a stranger that she thinks they need to be medicated.
In summation, the rest of the drive was not particularly great. As we drove faster and my anxiety worsened my tics too slightly, and knowing that she was judging me for it certainly didn't help me relax. Simply stimming is enough for someone to think someone should be medicated. I spend most of my time with accepting, and usually also ND, people, so this was my first encounter with someone like this in a while. It was a shock to say the least, a shock that people are still so un-understanding.
Feel free to comment or rb your opinions, if I'm overreacting or if you have similar experiences. Personally i think this exchange was ridiculous and embarassing and incasive and abelist.

i think more people should project disorders onto characters and creatures. like creepers from minecraft? have tourettes. Kaminari Denki? has tourettes. mothman? has tourettes. percy jackson? has tourettes
I could keep going

general practitioner doctors will see an AFAB person with tics and diagnose them with anxiety tics (which aren't a thing, at least not in the sense of a seperate 'tourettes-like condition') while sitting on their high-horse of ignorance, though they're not even qualified.

Pretty convenient all these tic fakers and trans Tourette's people never have any painful tics or anything. It's always funny or cute ones that never seem to bother them
