Things Not To Say To People With Tourette's Syndrome

People with Tourette's syndrome face a lot of assumptions about what it's like to live with their condition. For instance, there's a common belief that everyone with Tourette's swears, but this isn't the case.
Here, a group of men and women chat about the questions and observations they encounter about their Tourette's - and are happy to clear up any misconceptions about it that might be out there.

For my tattoos, I just told my artist beforehand "I have tourettes, I will let you know if I need you to pause."

I knew a girl with tics she was in therapy because she refused to accept her own tics. She had more motion driven ones and swear words. Some of her included randomly swimming her arms out , head banging, sometimes for actions when she was stressed about something her legs would also kick out. She ended up there because she was a perfectionist meaning her not having ability to control her tics upset her greatly because no matter what she had to tic. So for someone like her she ended hurting herself by suppressing them to much and to often. I hope wherever she is that she accepts herself like we accepted her. She was so good at drawing portraits of people she made a snack time killing for portraits.

I wish they'd asked about stress and contentment - when I'm stressed my tics are way heavier and when I'm content I'm much more still. For me personally there is a direct correlation between ticcing and stress. There's a difference between relaxing and contentment! I've never and don't believe I'll ever not have my Tourette's, but like anything when you add stress or mental health problems into the mix the symptoms can be more severe. Would be nice to see someone talk about this, cause if I experience it, I can't be the only one.

My first diagnosis was SS which is serotonin syndrome (i was taking anti depressants) but that wasn't it. My family has been very supportive and and made it better.
