Sorry OP. What are the symptoms you experience?
Hey one of my closest friends has Tourette’s so I have some experience with it. What’s the funniest instance you’ve had of getting a tick at the wrong time?
Do you have a tic, and if so, what is it, and when did it first happen? Thank you
Does it majorly effect your life? And do you have a most common tick? If so, what is it?
Do you have vocal tics? If so which is the funniest one that has ever happened? Which tic is the most annoying?
Thank you for doing this AMA
How difficult was it to get a proper diagnosis?
How does it feel to “get away” with stuff even if you meant it?
When did it start and how? How long did it take for a diagnosis?
Also are people in general kind or arseholes about it?
Do you sometimes say bad words?
Do u ever just pretend it was a tick and say something?
What’s the worst reaction from others you’ve experienced because of your tics?
Thanks for giving this opportunity! Is your the kind that you say stuff or is it about involuntary body movements only? If the former, how do people who you work/study around react to it after you explain your condition and how do they behave around you?
What kind of tics do you have? Physical / oral?
What was it like before you were diagnosed? Did you not know what was going on for a bit before then? Can you suppress it sometimes?
You’re not answering anything LOL
I have Tourettes so y’all can ask me and I’ll answer 🤣
Hey there! How did you get diagnosed? I have OCD and as a child, I had multiple visible tics, so at first, doctors thought it was Tourette’s. Wishing you well!
Have you ever tried medication as a treatment?
