10 Things I Can't Do With Tourette's 🤫🍿

[@gemmarose9368]

My kiddo (aged15) also has Tourette’s, they go to a special needs / Autism friendly hairdresser, she’s fab works around the tics and doesn’t take offence to anything. ❤ Also we call hiccups that are tics.. ‘tic ups’

Can I please ask if you use medication to help with your tics? I'm on one now, but it makes me nauseous. I use CBD oil to help and it does. I just need to ask someone who knows. I also have, what I can describe as seizures, and am on medication for that too. It just doesn't help take it away. Will it ever go away?

I sometimes forget that when people have disabilities like Tourette’s they can’t do everything other people can. I am sorry you have to deal with that

Hi, I think that most of these should things that engineers and designers should work on. Adaptations could be things like playing Hide & Seek with music or background noise or white noises. Libraries should provide spaces like enclosed cubicles, or something similar, a Stylist could schedule a specific time where you'd be alone or with family etc. Everyone should be accommodated, and differences can make diverse spaces and experiences.

[@kaylasmusic]

@SadBreadLoaf - They mostly can, its just different, anyone can so anything they set their mind to. Its not a “dis”ability, just a different ability :) you can be successful in anything you desire:)

[@Zara_Beth]

i know why people say this, but disability isn't a bad word! we're no less just because we're disabled, and the label isn't a negative thing - it just tells people that we need accomodations and can't do things the same as able bodied people :)💖@@kaylasmusic

I’m a 73 year old man. When I was in elementary school in California, about 1957-58, there was a new girl came to my class. Without warning, she’d yell out, “NUTS,” repeatedly. After a few times of this, my teacher sent her to the principal’s office. The next day it would happen again with the same results. After about a week, I never saw the girl again. I would assume she was put in a “special” school. I later learned, while in high school, about Tourette’s. This was in the mid to late 1960’s. I would assume in the 1950’s Tourette’s was not very well studied. Now, I can only imagine how hard it must have been for that little girl. It makes me sad to think about it to this day. 😢 Bless you. You are probably helping so, so many kids and young adults deal with and understand. You’re a saint. ❤

About the cinema thing: I’m not sure where in the UK you live, but the cinema chain Picturehouse does autism friendly screenings - I don’t know if it’s only for autistic people, you would most likely be allowed in if you asked, but it’s basically a movie screening where you are free to make as much noise as you need to, get up, walk around and do what you need!

Your tics really want you to make music I have ADHD and doesn’t matter if it’s quiet or loud, I will be stimming a lot. I *CAN’T* be in libraries due to my stims making sounds or phrases such as a plane sound, the moai meme (don’t ask), popcat, wowza, or simply *bap* or *bonk* poggers,pog, pogchamp, live laugh lovejoy, yippe, and more..thanks to the Dream SMP and the bands I listen to. Much worse if my physical stims pop in, I will hit the books, me, my head, anything. I have like 100 stims- oh and I have OCD, I will stress a lot due to my unwanted thoughts, wanting to keep books even and to top it off and make it worse… *I HAVE HYPERHIDROSIS* which is a disorder making me sweat really easily, so I can’t really touch books because then I’ll sweat a lot and make the pages wet, I hate it, It’s the worse thing ever, if I’m gonna be in a library or somewhere that requires paper or metal, I NEED A SINK NEARBY. yes I type a lot, I’m a fast typer and ADHD will have me in so many topics, DEAL WITH IT. :D Yippe

yes! it's really common for people with tics for them to go away when they focus on something they love, that's why music or sports are so highly recommended for people with TS!

[@user-nm6dr4uy3d]

I think school should teach us about neurodiversity. Honestly, our health education at school consisted of the teacher showing us pictures of private bits and that was about it. I'm now self-educating myself on KZbin about neurodiversity, LGBTQ etc. But I feel like it should be a mandatory part of everyone's schooling to learn about human diversity.

I also had accommodations, but it was on my second time at university and I did so much better because I was actually well supported by a disabilities advisor who setup and allowed for the accommodation like a quiet room, with a computer, spell checker and extra time so I could understand the questions or take breaks if I was overwhelmed etc. Funny thing though one exam time I was in a room with another person who had an assistance dog, but I have severe allergies to dogs, where I can't breathe properly near them.

Are there medications that are effective? I don’t ever see or hear much discussion about cures, etc.

[@Zara_Beth]

there is no cure for Tourettes, but sometimes tics can be managed through therapy, managing stress/triggers and some people find CBT helpful. there have been meds used like ADHD medication or strong anti-psychotics etc that have reduced tics, but they aren't made for people with TS specifically so this is a trial to see if any medications work it varies person to person, but a lot of people find these don't really help at all, and they usually cause side effects which can be more difficult to manage than the tics themselves

I'm wondering what it would be like going to the shops or on the bus with a shirt that just says in big on the front and back "I have tourettes". Like would people be more understanding or would it draw more attention? Not that it's a solution because that would still suck. I wouldn't really want to wear a shirt all day that says "I have bipolar" (that's what I have). But I mean it's invisible. Where as if people are going to see anyway would it make it better or worse.

[@Bchuz]

I am confident that everyone has a different and varying experience with Tourette’s so maybe mine just isn’t as bad (I have Tourette’s from PANDAS)or toned down by the monthly IVIG treatments (I go to because I can drive). Although it used to be absolutely awful for me. I have this pattern that all has to do with the number 5 I can try to explain it it’s pretty much I just say one over and over really fast in my head then I go to two then three then four then I go back to one I repeat this four times and say five in my head a bunch and if I don’t “mess up” I’m done” (it mixes with OCD). My motor tics were so bad that I had bruises on my knees. I would bang them into the metal bar under the desk at school over and over until my “process” is what I like to call it was over. I also used to dab (weirdly before dabbing was a thing or was known as dabbing) I would do it over and over then there was blinking excessively and sniffing like (it’s hard for me to describe it) but I guess it’s kind of like a dog. I also cleared my throat in a repetitive pattern. Now days though it’s more just blinking, jerking my head, and this weird movement of the foot that kind of like pops the bones in it over and over. But thanks for the video!

[@brynnejewell1275]

I watched a short of yours a few minutes ago and I immediately thought, she has Tourette's. The reason being, I also have Tourette's. So it was exciting to find that it was true. All that to say, I appreciate you sharing. It's always nice to hear from a fellow neurodivergent.😊

[@kaylariccio7117]

Have you ever tried going to genetic counseling? I also have FND (seizures, tics, fainting, fatigue; all that), and I went to genetic counseling. At genetic counseling, they can tell you about all the things your genetics code for, and what conditions you are susceptible to getting. They can also give you diets based on your bloodwork/genetics that can help. Also, sometimes FND can be caused by inflammation of the brain (that's part of what I have). And I only have seizures/fainting when my brain is inflamed, and things get better when I avoid eating things that are outside my diet. For example, dairy and wheat are huge things that can inflame a persons brain (many of the times it can block the neurotransmitters in the brain; causing symptoms). I used to have paralysis, seizures lasting close to 15 mins, I fainted quite often (many times even if someone just touched me from behind or on the head; it was too much for my body to handle; causing the fainting). But, with getting genetic counseling and dieting; those things went away.

[@The_Love4_ART]

I might have Tourette’s because I keep ticking my parents say it might be caused of stress, but I don’t think that because even though I’m chilling, it’s kind of like there’s no off button of my ticks :P I got yelled at yesterday, because I had one of my ticks in class but get this I’m in fourth grade. It’s challenging when other people don’t know that this is happening I got bullied because on how many times I have meowed or barked in class or recess. She keeps calling me a furry and I just look at her like why, until I accidentally punched myself in the chest because my ticks are sometimes out of control and but they drive me crazy I feel you half of the time with my ticks❤😅

[@admiral7599]

This makes me wonder what the relation between Seizures and OCD/Tics are. Cause after my Nocturnal Seizures ended I started developing repetitive movements(mainly from intrusive thoughts) in a numeric sequence. Which I'm not certain is OCD or Tics and need to get it treated. Also, I'm not sure what it is but it seems there's some weird link between these disorders, just like ADHD and Seizures have a link.

[@almasoderholtz-ls1jj]

Hiiii! I have a question! Is it possible to have “tics” without having Tourette’s?? Can u self diagnose yourself with tics? Bc I think I have “tics” or “Tourette’s. But I don’t know if I am making it up or if it’s real bc I have watched you and know about the diagnosis. I have had a “tic” since I was like 7. So I don’t know. Btw I have adhd to so idk if it can be that. Pls help me. Ps love you’re videos and content!

[@Zara_Beth]

you can't self diagnose tourettes, as it's a condition that needs to be diagnosed by a neurologist - but tics are a symptom that people can experience whether they have TS or not! quite a lot of kids actually have one or two tics which they either grow out of or never really notice (blinking, sniffing etc)!

[@millygd955]

Hey! So yes you can have tics without tourettes. From my understanding, to have tourettes you need to have both motor tics and at least one vocal tic for over a year, starting from before you're 18. But people can have "tic disorders" too if they don't quite fit this criteria! You can absolutely have tics from your adhd but if you're worried about them I'd say go see a doctor. A "tic" is also just a symptom so you're 100% valid saying you have tics! I have tics too but haven't had a diagnosis of anything related so I just say I have tics. Hope this has helped a bit!

Hello Zara I’m so happy to have discovered your channel. I don’t have Tourette’s but had a friend I worked with whose cousin has Tourette’s and would hang out with us. We would go to the mall together and out to eat or just generally go out places where her cousin would tick a lot. Your ticks are cute. Even when you swear, it’s cute but that’s because they are soft and quiet. I’m sure they aren’t always this way. My friend’s cousin on the other hand has very physical and loud mainly profane ticks. While we were walking through the mall, some people would laugh and point while others were quite cruel. When it happened, it would be very quick and we just carried on with no attention paid to it. It was quite embarrassing for her but she couldn’t help it. By sharing your experiences and how it has affected your life is such a cool thing for you to do because sooo many people don’t have a clue or haven’t encountered someone suffering from it. I have met other people whose ticks are totally nonverbal and they get just as frustrated by it but aren’t noticed because they don’t have ticks that draw attention to them. Thank you for what you are doing. It’s more valuable than you might think 😊

What does it feel like if you supress your tics? Does it feel something like an itch you just have to scratch? Like if you would hold your mouth or tape it, what would happen?

I knew a guy who had Tourette’s and worked as an insurance salesman (over the phone).

Except the Lord Jesus Christ and become "born again" in which case you will become a NEW creation and receive a sound mind.

Are you able to swim? Like what happens if your FND kicks in and you faint? Do you have to wear a life jacket?

Acceptance & mindset help my epilepsy.

I’m just going to say the meow me meow meow meow meow (Cat to a rhythm) Is rlly relatable I have a tic where I kick my feet but music is also a rlly strong trigger for me (I tic to the rhythm of the song) so I kid you not I started tap dancing Really well too People asked if I had dance lessons 😂😂

I like watching the longer form videos available on KZbin as opposed to just the shorts here and 13:44 on TikTok. I mean, I like to watch the shorts too, but I feel like I get more out of the somewhat longer videos. Just my two cents.

Imagine a library full with people with tourette. One the one hand all of them could relax as noone will take offense, however they maybe could tick themselves up, which would cause discomfort. What do you think?

Absolutely gorgeous 😍

Not driving makes sense. If you have a tic and your arm moves uncontrollably whilst attached to a steering wheel when you're doing 70 on a motorway, it can go horribly wrong.

[@markorollo.]

no offence intended saying this but i kind of want the meowy tic for a text message sound......... re the driving thing, i have spina bifida and a thing called chiari malformation as a result (not everyone with sb gets it) that gives me the joy of pressure headaches if i do certain sudden movement type things like really laugh at something, i dont know if i'd be banned from driving because of it but ive kind of banned myself from doing it. I think i just like being driven around, and lastly, "ignore the shit you cant do" i want that on a t shirt... id like to have been a goalkeeper in football or play cricket or something, and id like riding two wheel motorbikes, but i cant so i dont bother about it,

I recently got diagnosed with Tourette's and they are very bad I always end up hurting myself and I'm in Hospital a lot but hey I'm getting through it.

[@GordonClare]

Such a great video

[@LifewithRah154]

ive just started ticcing recently (around 1-2 months ago) it gets a bit difficult trying to sleep, because when i get tired i tic more. do you have any tips for that?

[@GordonClare]

Driving is over Rita, especially when you're in big cities or towns and have great public transport.

[@northernexciles01]

This was so much fun to listen too. Very informative and very supportive post. You look like you are keeping well and i do hope thats the case

[@silverdweller2809]

My tics go down around most people, it's automatic suppression. They come out more severely at home.

Never turn down champagne. But ask for a straw. And then get more champagne. ;)

Bless you baby.. My mate has a tick where she sings the words win win windowsills.. ❤

We can always use you like the army tank in kelly's heroes with the loud speaker on the tank playing songs on it and that part can always come in handy as well and this summer the tank museum is having a show going on as well

[@andrewkirkley2439]

You have to be really patient to have Tourette’s. To not get really annoyed. You seem very low-key
