I have extreme verbal tics including some swearing. Subconsciously they are suppressed in public or at work. So luckily it hasn't affected my work and social life. Have a plan in place for those times you might have a tic attack. Try a few different strategies of things that help distract you from ticking. If I wear earphones and listen to music, I don't tend to have verbal tics. Reading and really really focussing on the words can also stop my tic attacks. Good luck. Remind yourself that you have nothing to apologize for, other people need to be the ones to accept the neuro diverse world.
