[@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.

[@gregweeks2955]

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

[@erinturner9618]

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 😀👍🏻

[@JaclynForbes]

wow this was so wonderful

[@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 ❤️

[@paradisiac]

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

[@lornavokes8149]

The kid in the red minecraft shirt was so shy and cute😍😭

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.

[@smilewithmel]

They all explain it so well and openly - I love the boy that says once people understand it becomes easier! I know that I have a better understanding now, so thank you!

[@rupertsroom2990]

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.

[@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?

[@cheyenney2353]

The video was a whose most likely too. And I thought the same thing lol

[@ameliaspencer9234]

Ola iii

[@stephanieholgate2827]

Ola I remember this, not even joking but I watched it the other day 😂

[@stephanieholgate2827]

It's on jacks channel and it's called who is most likely to or something

[@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!

[@ggracemyers]

It was such a great experience getting to film with you Caspar! Hope to see you soon💙

[@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.

[@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...

[@babybearandco]

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

[@regantemple6872]

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

[@Charlie-hg9qq]

i have tourettes and it really sucks, hope everyone out there suffering from this syndrome isn’t in a really bad place mentally and has amazing people around them that don’t judge you and make you feel loved and ‘normal’, stay strong and ignore the haters, sending my love.

[@nataliedavies7567]

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

[@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

[@Leifisnotaleaf]

Tourette’s really needs more awareness. I didn’t know very much about it before I watched this. Thanks Casper.

[@jessicab4751]

I love you Caspar!

[@evemoloney3005]

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

[@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 💗

[@mollygallagher750]

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

[@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 💓

[@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

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

[@maudsmit1630]

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

[@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!

[@joeysvehla2309]

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

[@bethsmith6499]

Okay so I have tics and literally I've explained what it's like having them EXACTLY how you did at 1:43! Thanks for using your platform to talk about this!

[@mudaawi]

Thank you for this video 💙 I learned a lot

[@catietommo]

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

[@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

[@MJ-mv8fo]

Brilliant video Caspar! So much positivity and such inspiring young people, loved hearing about all of your stories xxx

[@NonymousGames]

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

[@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!

[@livieegee]

The little boy is so adorable 😭😭

[@MasonHargrove1]

There's multiple, which one?

[@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.

[@beep37]

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

[@-l1-708]

Casper has Tourettes ?! I never knew hm

[@eilidhsmith5040]

Me neither

[@joellundqvist7796]

Thomas is the lad.

[@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.

[@saibhandari]

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

[@AaliyahThompson]

The guy in the purple shirt should be a comedian!!!

[@MaliaPlaysbattlelands]

Aaliyah BANTA Queen I agree

[@togplayz]

thanks i will

[@emmalee8341]

Caspar you are such a good human!

[@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.

[@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

[@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 :)

[@timidelle1127]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@madhavparikh7197]

Thank you caspar!!! It's nice to be understood when nobody around you does!!

[@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

[@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.

[@libr4pr1ncess]

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

[@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.

[@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💕💕👍👍💪

[@AstraZerbe]

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

[@careyannehayhurst6029]

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!

[@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.

[@Ellie-yc8tr]
