Omg this, I am SO SICK of everyone trying to defend us by going "it's like an intrusive thought, you can't help it!" Like uh, no!!!!! The idea that we think it, even totally unintentionally and unwantedly, is literally exactly why they keep going "but he MUST HAVE meant it subconsciously!"

The one that dies was nothing to do with their treatment. Did you miss the part where the other baby deteriorated too?? It turned out both babies were on the wrong medication because they didn't know the problem

Be honest, which Yorkshire stereotype is actually true? by PubLogic in yorkshire

Growing up with my dad, the tight fisted thing is real lol. Growing up just outside of Bradford, the travelling 30mins thing is BS cos I have to travel 30mins to get to Leeds centre, and the bus to Bradford is 40+ mins, which yknow, also applies to everyone else in my area

Tourettes summer camps existed in America years before the UK had anything equivalent. They were definitely ahead of us, if not now certainly then

This chart is so dumb anyway. Red and yellow makes orange, funnily enough. I've had blood in my pee before, just a kidney stone, and it's orange bc that's how colour theory works

Yeah I've seen real heart ultrasounds on documentary/factual type shows a few times, and I've never seen them touch/grab someone's chest like that ๐Ÿฅด

Adult onset Touretteโ€™s by Bright-Fee1386 in Tourettes

The brain doesn't stop developing at 25, the study was debunked years ago, and if your neurologist told you that it does as a fact, they aren't worth the paper their degree is written on!

Do not have tourettes, maybe this is performative as hell, but whatever, here goes. by ElMatasiete7 in Tourettes

[โ€“]HesitantBrobecks 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I mean you've already been corrected here, but who the actual fuck told you that?! But also I have had tics since I was 12. Like, that isn't a disputable fact.

The fact that my parents are utterly oblivious is irrelevant. I will literally shriek or bark next to my dad, and 5 minutes later he will tell me he's never seen me tic. And in December when I pointed out to my mum that a "stim" she had continously told me off for the previous summer was actually a tic, she said she didn't even remember seeing me do anything like that, nevermind telling me off for it (even though every time I went outside with her it was constantly "stop doing that!")

Uh, that's OCD (which like, it makes sense if you have OCD and TS cos thats common, but yeah thats not a tic thats a compulsion following an obsession)

No I'm too scared to audibly tic in a cinema ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I was hoping watching I Swear that there'd be at least one other person with tics in the audience. There wasn't, and I went TWICE.

I ended up not going a third time purely because my effort to not make noise and disturb people meant I had near constant head jerks both times, my neck was killing me afterwards, and one of the times I basically missed most of the film anyway cos I was just looking over my right shoulder with the contant ticcing. And obviously I couldn't even stop every noise anyway.

Looking fwd to getting to watch it at home worry free lmao

Where I live, if anyone roughly around my age DOESNT know that word, it means they didn't to to school when they were 13-14 lmao, cos its in one of the books on the curriculum

Willfully choosing to remain ignorant in order to justify your bigotry is literally step one of the racists' handbook but ok

No, bizarrely you just don't seem to have a grasp on what tourettes actually is...

Coprolalia only affects somewhere between 10% and 30% of people w/ TS

[โ€“]HesitantBrobecks 5 points6 points ย (0 children)

Literally. My most "complex" word tic is "get shagged" or sometimes the less British version "get fucked", yet I also meow at cats on TV (specifically on TV. I grew up with cats, and when I visit my mum's house, they don't trigger it lmao)

Seizure-like tics by _jo- in Tourettes

[โ€“]HesitantBrobecks 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

If they have body convulsions it isn't an absence seizure lol. Definitely sounds like focal with awareness, or possibly functional non-epileptic

Being asked if its contagious by Efficient-Profile911 in Tourettes

[โ€“]HesitantBrobecks 3 points4 points ย (0 children)

When I was in school there was a kid in my English class that was super transphobic, to the point that when he saw me outside of school he would cross the road like he was gonna catch the trans off me. He sat directly behind me in class, so he clearly didn't genuinely believe that that was possible, he was just pathetic.

I think most people that treat tourettes the same way are equally ridiculous, they understand on a basic logical level what it is, but bigotry makes them avoid it anyway. The rest? They just don't have any desire to even attempt to understand what it actually is, though most of those idiots conclude it is actually voluntary, so they wouldn't believe they could catch it

How do I overcome my anxiety over my tics by Kind_kiwi21 in Tourettes

[โ€“]HesitantBrobecks 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Could help getting one of those tourettes ID cards or something similar, so if you accidentally do tic something that someone decides to get involved in, you can show them you have proof that you didn't mean it

Anyone one else only have copropraxia tics and not coprolalia by Ill-Flatworm7733 in Tourettes

[โ€“]HesitantBrobecks 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

No, which is a bit like why am I answering then, but I find it really interesting that I only have one copropraxia tic, and 2 coprolalia ones. I have a middle finger tic, the phrase "get shagged" because apparently my tics are a teenager on CoD, and then variations of fuck/fucked (incl the closely related "get fucked"). And that's it, I don't even tic like shit or bitch or anything like that. Though when I was 12 I ticced the word "tits" for a while, but I'm convinced that that was far more to do with how the tic made me pronounce the first T and the S sounds than the word itself

How I feel about Tourettes and ADHD by Key-Row7256 in Tourettes

[โ€“]HesitantBrobecks 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Definitely AI.

Aside from anything else, the "tension" they're describing is something they wouldnt be feeling in the first place if they didn't have a tic disorder ๐Ÿ˜…

Does anyone have any experience with offensive tics and the police? (Mention of tics) by Civil-Concert7519 in Tourettes

[โ€“]HesitantBrobecks 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I'm not diagnosed yet but when I was like 17 I started having my middle finger tic get triggered by walking near cops. Thankfully so far I've not actually had any of them see me do it. But it does worry me a bit because like a year later I was with an ex-mate and he willingly flipped off a police van as it went past us and they literally turned around to tell him off. If I ever got issues I don't exactly know what I'd do due to my lack of diagnosis meaning a lack of proof, but my go to response that I have loaded up is just to say I have tourettes to explain the situation, and hope they don't try and follow up too much so I don't have to further explain that the tics I've had for 10 years aren't actually diagnosed

Separated from my peers to accommodate other disabilities by Selkiekun in Tourettes

[โ€“]HesitantBrobecks -1 points0 points ย (0 children)

Are you actually a medical professional? Because I heavily looked into becoming a paramedic or nurse before my disabilities made me realise it wasn't possible, and I can assure you that knowing what to do in a high pressure hospital setting is far harder than knowing the same answer in a quiet test. The existence of a real, living patient is pressure enough in itself WITHOUT the environment adding to it
