| | | Hmmm funny this comes up. While I was never diagnosed with Tourettes, I used to have a head twitch so bad it would move my whole upper body. Kids in school dubbed me "twitch" because of it (horribly embarrassing, yes). Back then I thought it was just another effect of my ADHD. Now I think it was an effect brought on by the ridiculous amounts of Ritalin they had me eating from 1st grade to 8th. There was also a time period where I would make noises in my throat and scrunch my face up really tight.. It was so bad that just talking about it now brings back painful memories. Man kids were cruel. Anyway, around high school I started smoking huge amounts of pot.. I also refused to keep taking that evil Ritalin.... And the tics and involuntary behaviors just kinda slowly faded away.... I dunno if one single thing helped or a combination of all of them, I'm just glad it stopped. To this day though I still have some obsessive compulsive behaviors I believe stem from the original disorder. Certain hand movements and such. Mostly just the need to touch things with odd textures, LOL. It's hard to describe.. it's like you just don't feel right unless you do a certain thing... an extreme craving you just have to satisfy... Luckily none of these behaviors interfere with my life anymore.. They just make me look like a weirdo when I start rubbing and squeezing random objects. ;-p

| | | Posted by SaraBellum I just know people are mean and stupid.
| Fuck you, too. Yeah, it must suck for that to be most people's first thought when you tell them. The usual swearing depiction of people with TS is extremely insensitive, but it truly does lead to some excellent comedic situations. Just think of all of the times when something is funnier simply because you know that you cannot laugh out loud. The first sentence I saw when I went to Wikipedia for "Comedy" is " Much comedy contains variations on the elements of surprise, incongruity, conflict, repetitiveness, and the effect of opposite expectations." All of which can be exquisitely matched with coprolalia (the spontaneous utterance of socially objectionable or taboo words or phrases). So, I guess what I'm saying is.... Please don't take away our fun, cuz that shit is funny. On a similar note, it drives me fucking nuts how people think Schizophrenia means Dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder). Not really related to TS, but it is a commonly recurring misconception.
