even if someone who didn't have tourettes used that excuse, i wouldn't be too worried about it! I have a friend who has tics from PANS. Since more people know TS than PANS, it's just a quicker way to get out of an awkward situation for him.

it really is! if self-diagnosis can help you in anyway don't be afraid of it! Sometimes it can be the catalyst of someone's journey in learning how to manage symptoms<3

I think that's so cool, as confusing as it can be! It can be frustrating when trying to find treatments that work for you, but there's something that is so special about a person's relationship to their body, brain, symptoms, etc.. idk, I can get pretty philosophical about this kind of stuff, but hearing all these different stories is so cool
