[@sweeperboy]

What a lovely intelligent group of kids; it really helps to dispel the myth that it’s ONLY about swearing. And the lil’ guy in the red shirt just needs protecting, he’s so precious.

[@angelajohnson5383]

Alex Blight that’s a bit rude to say but you’re entitled to your own opinion

[@amymbeauty8765]

Alex Blight Annoying? He's a damn child. Maybe you need to self reflect and become a little more tolerant and learn to see the good in people? Because it sounds like you lack any sort of compassion. Trust me, it would only help you!

[@amymbeauty8765]

Angela Johnson Yes he is I agree! And he seemed really sweet with Casper, I loved it.

My cousins and I all have Tourette’s. No idea why its just the cousins, no one else in the family has it. Anyway. We all bark and sweat and pop our ears. Thank you for this video. I feel like Tourette’s isn’t talked about like it should be.

[@nadya2105]

Erin Turner if u don't mind what is Tourette's ??

[@erinturner9618]

Nadya Ahmed it’s a tick. Some people bark like a dog, some swear, some kick their legs or nod their head. We can’t control it. It’s embarrassing and awkward and awful. But it’s part of you.

[@teenrandomgamer1785]

Erin Turner it’s actually spelled tic*, I’m not being rude, but I feel like the difference in spelling might make people see it’s not the bug 😀👍🏻

[@Eduardozindani]

the kid with the purple shirt and the glasses is my inpiration..

[@gregweeks2955]

Kid in red top though? Quite incredible his final response to Caspar at the very end. ‘No... it’s just me’

[@rosastevenson1101]

I honestly can’t thank Casper enough for using his platform to talk about tourettes. One of the hardest parts for me, growing up with tourettes, was never seeing anyone like me, never seeing it talked about in a serious manner, never being shown that you can life and full and happy life with your tourettes not despite it. I really hope this has a positive impact in educating those who don’t have tourettes and giving confidence and reassurance to those who do ❤️

[@amymbeauty8765]

Aww they were all really sweet. Thomas seems like an extremely well spoken, smart young man. Loved this Casper! ;)

[@haleemahkhan61]

I agree but it's "Caspar"

[@dougie6157]

AmyM& Beauty He's in my science set

[@avari1598]

i never knew what tourette syndrome was but half way through the video, it really got me interested on what exactly it was so i watched some other videos on it. those kids are so strong to be able to deal with this and talk about it. much love ❤️❤️

[@adgtheone]

They're braver than me. I never wanted to make anything of it, but then again, I never cared what people thought anyway.

[@paradisiac]

the kid in the purple shirt turned the interview into an interview with caspar hahaha he's great

[@domwells2195]

The one thing that warmed my heart is when the last boy said ‘it’s just me’ that sums up courage the best way thank you Caspar this really opened my eyes

I love this Caspar!!!!!

[@hellobear460]

Olivia Jade ahhhh love u Olivia jadee

[@EririKuma]

My dad has it. Till my mom was pregnant, he didn't know it could be genetically inheritant. I don't have it, but my children will have 25% chance of having Tourette. But I'm glad that my dad is such a nice and intelligent human being. So what if people stare? I explained it to all my friends and they accepted it very fast and don't think its weird (that much) anymore. Tourette still has stigma around it, but it gets better step by step. Thank you, Cas, for being one of those people talking about it publicly. Also all of the young people in this video are so nice, I'm rooting for them!

[@zmcc6136]

[@ninamarie8264]

I LOVE this video! Thank you for spreading awareness about Tourette’s and stopping the misunderstanding that it is purely a condition that makes people swear and shout constantly, because it is so much more than that.

[@ola2762]

-I'm really good at not listening to other people. -same. -what? HAHAHAHHAHAHA I can tell that there is a video where Conor joked in a similar way but he pretended that he had a problem with his memory and kept repeating some sentences. Do you know which video I'm talking about? I would love to watch it again!

[@molliemsp2818]

Ola ooh the one where he said I have short term memory loss and... I have short term memory loss?

[@ggracemyers]

James and Oli white Fan uh thanks haha x

[@paigeowen5272]

I honestly appreciate it when anyone brings awareness for Tourette’s, it gets 1% if the research that autism does and although I’m lucky that it’s not severe for me it can affect someone’s entire life including jobs, relationships and self esteem. Thankyou so much for talking about this 💗

[@nickels5696]

I befriended a guy with tourettes in elementary school because he didn't have many friends and then he grew up to be very popular and ended up forgetting about me completely! He grew out of a lot of his ticks and ended up being one of the most popular guys at school and as great as it was to see him thriving it was sad to see our friendship die.

[@carinuuhh]

Nikki Z: well you were the one who stopped being his friend... Why would he want to be friends with you when you "dumped" him? Are you sad because he became popular and you didn't? I'm sorry, this whole comment sounds really wrong... I'm trying my best to not hate tho. But srysly??

[@nickels5696]

Carina Chan Can you read? I said he forgot about me. He ended our friendship when he stopped talking to me, not the other way around.

[@laramcg]

Carina Chan you've obviously never experienced losing a friend yourself...

[@lotus8965]

Carina Chan she said he dumped her.... Pls read the comment

[@caleculating]

It never said dumped and this isn’t edited so...

[@Simoneelliott]

What a wonderful group of kids and young adults who are very articulate and informative on the subject of Tourette's. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing their experiences and everyday dealings with this syndrome. Thank you Caspar for putting this video together.

[@leannuh47]

This is such a great video! I knew there were different types of tics but not so many. And the stereotype is that it’s just a bunch of cursing. This is so important

[@maeezyla]

I was used to watching funny videos on your channel and DEFO fell in love with this one. You are an inspiration to so many kids affected by Tourette's. Thank you for recording such a powerful video 💓

[@regantemple6872]

This video really brought Tourette Syndrome to light. Thank you for speaking out about it.

[@ACompleteNerdIAm]

Thank you for this video, Caspar. I was diagnosed when I was a bit older (about 10) but I'd never told anyone until yesterday, on Facebook, after watching your video. For the first time I feel like Tourette's isn't my own personal battle. Thanks again.

[@nataliedavies7567]

you spread so much positivity all the time, thank you for educating us more on tourettes, this was a great video as usual :)

[@naleyislovealways]

Caspar, thank you for making this video! It's been really nice to see content about Tourette's; experiencing it can be so isolating when you don't know anyone else with it, especially in it's milder, more common forms. Appreciate this! And thanks to all those who spoke :)

[@KatieSnyder]

Casper this video was perfect! The kid in the purple shirt had such a positive way of looking at life, we could all learn from him. This is the type of content youtube should be pushing❤️

[@bvjb5816]

He went to my primary school

[@f1ftyfiftycl0wn]

This is really great to see a big youtube bringing awareness to Tourette's. I have a lot of tics, though I have not been diagnosed with Tourette's as of right now (although I do meet the criteria). I haven't seen too many people with a very large following bring attention to it. Thank you.

[@jessicab4751]

I love you Caspar!

[@evemoloney3005]

Jessica B omg this has 666 likes Edit: nvm it has 667 😂

[@yellowblob405]

I have tourettes and growing up Casper was my inspiration. He showed me that you can be what you want to be even with Tourette’s syndrome.

[@maudsmit1630]

*THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL CONTENT!!!!*

[@peppiina5917]

Thank you so much for making such a good and important video. I have people in my family with Tourette's and it's never been something that's been widely understood or talked about. I think this world needs more oppenness and just honesty! We are all different and perfect human beings as who we were created to be.

[@NonymousGames]

I had no idea that Caspar had tourettes, I'm glad he's spreading the message and spreading positivity :)

[@ANabiha]

If you see someone with Tourette's please don't ask them to try to stop their ticks I saw in a documentary that suppressing them actually hurts sometimes

[@lillie9622]

True.. People mimic my tics Pig snort most likely and call me nicknames Like (my name) The Pig Yeah i cried. Nobody cares.

[@TwitchyMoth]

Eevee The Flareon I'm sorry that this is happening to you know. I know its shitty as hell

[@bee1zebop]

im so proud of caspar and the way he uses his channel these recent months is just amazing. i also adore the way he communicates with people you know? he's just very open with them and i love that

[@catietommo]

This is fantastic, Caspar. I personally don't have Tourette's but it's really fantastic that you're bringing awareness to it.

[@mollygallagher750]

Mate, that kid with the glasses an purple shirt on is a FRICKIN legend

[@madajafarmer5414]

The little guy in the purple shirt stole my heart. He's absolutely precious. Great video!

[@saibhandari]

Thanks for having me on the video Caspar - you raising awareness will hopefully do such great things for our community.

[@ryanmillward4396]

I was diagnosed with tourettes syndrome when I was 4, all through my school years I was bullied for it. Alot of people don't understand what tourettes actually is they mostly see the generic vocal tourettes but never really see what physical tourettes is like, over the years I've come to terms with how to cope with it, tiredness and stress sends my ticks out if control. I'm 21 and my physical tourettes play a big part in my day to day life, but I never let it stop me from being normal. Really inspiring content Casper! Too see you have the guts to open up to the Internet is amazing and I look up to you. Keep it up.

[@olivia_chritch]

You are amazing. Some ‘KZbinrs’ you can tell do it just for the money or to be famous but I can tell that you are a really caring person and do it to make people feel happy and that exactly how you have made everyone feel

[@victoriacordi9268]

So proud that you started this conversation! I feel like a mum congratulating her son. Love you Caspar!

[@timidelle1127]

this is so helpful and important, thank you so much for bringing this topic to youtube community 💛

[@Pinknfluffyfairy]

Thank you so much for making this video, my little boy was diagnosed with Tourette’s earlier this month and it’s been hard for us all to get our heads around, very emotional to say the least! This video has given me hope and positivity, and that people with Tourette’s can go on to live normal lives 🙂

[@mudaawi]

Thank you for this video 💙 I learned a lot

[@m.m.4085]

This is just absolutely marvellous video. It is so important to spread awareness of any issues somebody might have. Mr. Lee has taken an absolutely wonderful approach to just do so.

[@emmalee8341]

Caspar you are such a good human!

[@zaudifalzone3247]

Caspar. I haven't watched your videos in a while and I got this one from a "suggested" notification. I've never been happier to have clicked on a suggested post. This video is so refreshing and it literally made my heart happy. Thank you for creating this type of content every now and then. You and these kids are wonderful. Lots of love from SA ❤️

[@joeysvehla2309]

The kid in the red shirt is literally a mini Caspar and Thomas is the man 😂

[@babybearandco]

Thanks for always being honest, despite it being a hard video for you to make. Thank you for helping everyone else x

[@beep37]

It's things like this that make me have faith in humanity

[@goldengirl3479]

This is an amazing use of your influence to open peoples eyes and share stories of other people who have Tourette’s. It’s great that your using your position to create a positive conversation around it and I’m really proud to be a fan of yours because of things like this,

[@rhiannon2929]

There was a guy on the voice who had Tourette’s but the ticks went away when he was singing. (He was an amazing singer) Believe it or not, that was the first time I had heard of Tourette’s. Thank you for sharing your story and helping me understand it more.

[@Maria-jn7tj]

Yeah! His name is Adam. He has a KZbin channel called TicTwitchTeen. He is phenomenal!

[@hannahgraham8174]

And there is a famous country singer named Mel Tillis, he has a stuttering tic just like me. You should look him up, he really inspired me to sing and not let it get in the way

[@hollywoodflochs5839]

I'm currently 24 and I've learned to suppress my ticks, but I grew up with Tourette's, and half the battle of going through school making ticks and getting made fun of was the fact that no one understood what Tourette's was. It's real cool to see you using your platform to raise awareness.

[@livieegee]

The little boy is so adorable 😭😭

[@MasonHargrove1]

There's multiple, which one?

[@lp231298]

Wow this was amazing Caspar. It's great that you are spreading awareness. I also have Tourette's and at this moment in time they are at their worst. Although I am medicated they still get bad. But they have never stopped me from doing something I want to do. I am now a fully qualified painter and decorator.

[@nina_allegra]

I love that you are using your platform for something important!

[@CareyAnneDahl]

I had no clue that Caspar has torrettes and I think it's amazing the you are sharing it because we need to know more about it. I personally don't know anyone with torrettes but I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone with torrettes. Thank you for sharing all of you!

[@libr4pr1ncess]

I love thomas so much he seems like such a ray of sunshine

[@BethanAmyEvans]

This made me super happy! Everyone in this video seemed so happy and it is so important that more & more people begin to understand what Tourette's is. It does not define people and stop them achieving anything they want to. And wow the guy in purple has such a positive mind and he was bloody hilarious! X

[@AmbreenK]

I learnt soo much more about tourettes in this video. I love watching you Casper and think you've really grown on your channel.

[@alexandraupton3993]

Always in awe of how kind and open you are. You wear your heart on your sleeve and don’t let the opinions of others cloud who you are and want to be, which is so difficult in any setting let alone one in the media. These interviews and the sharing of your story are powerful. I’m glad that there are people like you in media, and grateful for the impact and changes you might be able to deliver someday.

[@theforgottendinosaur]

I grew up with tourettes. They were really bad when I was around 12/13. They are fine now, most people I meet don't even know I have them. My brother's are still noticeable when he gets upset or angry and my sister's are noticeable when it's really quiet (she has throat clicks) but they are definitely much better for the three of us now that we're adults.

[@evita1643]

Layla Bug is tourettes genetic? Since you and your siblings all have it?

[@stephenburack2743]

Layla Bug that's incredibly rare that all three of you have it, you must be closer because of it?

[@stephenburack2743]

Evita I don't think it is

[@zoerichards6698]

I loved this video and it was really good getting to hear people talk about it openly, especially younger people! You're doing a great thing here Caspar

[@joellundqvist7796]

Thomas is the lad.

[@jennifergreen8956]

I’ve watched you for years and the content you’re producing and what you’re choosing to create now is absolutely beautiful and amazing.

[@Fatima-pp4xe]

One of the most genuine and generous KZbinr out there

[@amyjbyfield]

Inspirational 😘 a lot of KZbinrs have lost their spark and are no longer relatable - you however, you’re getting better and better! Thank you x

[@jaycollorick3059]

As someone also living with the condition, I have a bit of advice when dealing with bullies. Own your tics. If someone stares of makes a comment or anything like that just say 'i have tourettes so what?' if they're not accepting of that then that's their problem. Don't ever let someone make you feel ashamed or embarrassed or anything like that because of having tourettes or any other condition. Own it. Be proud of it. Love it. Its part of you so why should you have to apologize? You don't apologize for your eye colour or your hair colour so why your tics? Why your tourettes? I know it's hard and I know bullies words can hurt but you will get through it. I love you and I'm proud of you all. Carry on fighting💕💕👍👍💪

[@emilys1569]

This video is so important. I loved when they were saying that explaining it to people helped with bullying. I hope that works with other kids who are worried about it at school. You are an international treasure caspar, i wish you nothing but the best ☺️

Hi Caspar. As a South African - I'm really proud of you for making this video, well done dude :-) what an insightful and beautiful video.

[@sugacube7095]

silentscreams1988 what does your race have to do with your comment?

[@lizzieblacc4625]

In a time like this, when KZbin videos are mostly not quite as creative as some years ago, this video is really the best!! Thank you!

[@crimpy13]

The kid with the red shirt looks like a kid version of Casper.

[@carolinestadsbjergabdallah150]

My bestfriend has tourettes, and even though I know it has been hard on him, the understanding that is created by talking about it is amazing. Thank you for sharing (both to you, Caspar, and the kids in the video). This is what the world needs :)

[@millsiefanforeverma3509]

I have ptsd I struggle with it, the first year I was diagnosed with it I was fine with it but now I struggle with it, but I draw, do things for Max and Harvey mills, read books ext to take my mind of it I even watch KZbin videos, Casper Lee I have your book and a joe sugg and Casper Lee DVD

[@lucy-ny4eh]

Yes I have

[@dexterfromlabs]

Sophie Acford you're beautiful. 💙

[@natsushi]

Thank you so much Caspar for making videos about Tourette’s and spreading awareness! I wish there were videos like this on youtube when I was younger and self conscious about my tics ❤️

[@paikeakehlani5392]

I always describe my Tourette’s as like when you need to sneeze and the longer you hold it in the worse it gets. I’m 15 now and my Tourette’s have gotten a lot better but I still tic occasionally. I scrunch my eyes and clench my fist and I occasionally have a vocal tic. I also have a stutter which makes things a bit harder but I’ve noticed when I surf or just be in the ocean my tics completely stop. :)

[@adgtheone]

Doing engaging things helps. Tourettes never gets worse as you get older. I'm 38 now, and haven't taken any meds in many years. Just keep grinding, brother!

[@AguusGi]

This video is amazing, Caspar!! You're so loving and it's nice to see how comfortable they all were with you.. how you made them feel comfortable!! The world needs more Caspars

[@AstraZerbe]

This was a wonderful video Casper. Thank you for bringing awareness to this. Also happy Awareness Month!💙💙

[@lilymunro-oakley3251]

I don’t have Tourette’s or know anyone with Tourette’s but I have to say it’s actually helped me in this video like the bullying thing when they said “they bully because of something g they don’t understand” that’s actually really helpful because I never saw it that way. But this video is so nice and inspirational. Xx
