There's a genuine terror for a certain percentage of us with Tourettes that we may be actually KILLED OR ASSAULTED for ticcing in the wrong time and in the wrong place to the wrong person.
People think we're drunk or on drugs or we mean what we say and somehow that gives them the right to abuse us.
What I say as a tic is ALWAYS out of my control, but your reaction is 1000% in YOUR control.
Do better for those of us with neurological illnesses.

I have learned to love my Tourettes
I love animals and most of my tics are animal sounds now so I'm happy
But! the fact that I'm happy and can live with them currently doesn't erase that it's still a disability
I can't go out to watch a movie without the risk of barking and copying every single noise my echolalia decides to focus on
I go flipping off every single thing I see (which is funny until you do it to someone that doesn't know)
I have thrown stuff across rooms (rip avocado)
I can't drive
I have almost joker cut my face by accident
I have tic attacks that looked like seizures with how much spasming I was doing
Got into tic attacks because my tics looped with my brother's
I have had tics make stop breathing
I have almost broken my hand so.many.times because I just started hitting things or myself
So many more things
And a week ago I cracked my mouth shut so hard I broke a molar
So yeah it's fine. I've broken the same arm thrice; I'm A Mess™ and have learned to live with my weirdness
I love joking about it because that's just my personality (please joke and laugh I do not mind it, but I'm my own person with my own experiences so ask always)
But it still doesn't erase how it impacts my life.

friendly reminder that people with C.I.P.A also can’t feel when they need to pee or when they’re hungry also can’t sweat.
and to Tourette’s; twitches ≠ tics
they’re not the same keep the difference thanks
Hope this helps ^__^

Okay, but how is it that my tics learned to whistle before I did!? I didn't figure out how to whistle until after it became a tic!

Okay but honestly the worst thing about having Tourette’s syndrome isn’t the ableism, pain, stigma, etc. while all of those really do suck, nothing is worse than desperately trying not to tic and disturb your cat that has curled up resting on your leg.
I am currently in bed trying not to disturb the resting baby because I know he won’t understand that I can’t control it. I don’t care much about my tics in most situations, but when it disturbs my little kitty just trying to take a sleeb. I WILL NOT STAND IT.

“[primary school] wasn’t that bad,,,”
— they made me put my wheelchair at the back of the class
— i didn’t have a care plan (i’m physically and mentally disabled)
— they insisted i was normal (i have EDS, ADHD, FND, autism, tourettes, POTS (most likely), dyscalculia, etc)
— they made me do PE after i was in the hospital because of what is probably POTS and wouldn’t let me eat the salted crackers i’d brought in (high sodium is MEDICALLY RECOMMENDED for people with POTS)
— made me walk up stairs with crutches and a dislocated knee (THEY HAD A LIFT.)
— the HEAD OF SEN said my tics were disrespectful and offensive (i was nonverbal and having a tic attack) and when i stood up to get a pencil and paper to try and explain she yelled at me (she’s STILL head of SEN)
— they’d refuse to let me stay inside when i was about to have a meltdown
— they’d get angry when i couldn’t do PE
— teachers were horrible to me because of the fact i’m disabled in general
— they thought the fact i had muscles locking up (because of FND) was me faking it to get out of work
— theres so much more but i can’t remember because of brain fog

not sorry but like when i tell you i have tourettes and your immediate reply is
"so that means you can just swear and say mean things to people whenever you want and get away with it?!"
i assume you're a shitty weird person. bc who the fuck thinks like that???

I hate when you feel the tic coming on. The way it builds against your neck, presses into your ribs. Sometimes your insides seem to shiver with the cold and refuse to shiver properly on the outside.
I hate when it's right there, so you pause and wait, and it doesn't come as fast as you want. So your left feeling extremely uncomfortable and looking moderately stupid to anyone who doesn't know why you've been humming irritably and staring at the sink for two minutes.
