every now and then something bad happens because of my tourettes and causes 1-2 weeks of intense anxiety

shoutout all my neurodivergent folk who Dont have autism or adhd

hey fellow autistic folk and adhders. this post isn't about you. this post is about all the other neurodivergence that is specifically Not autism or adhd. maybe the clearest post on the site about that actually. i'm autistic and have adhd too, but this post is specifically not about that. stop making it about your autism or your adhd.

it's about npd, bpd, psychosis, schizophrenia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, epilepsy, DLD, did, osdd (and any other plurality/multiplicity), depression, brain damage, anxiety, tourettes, down syndrome, ptsd, and everything else. it's specifically about neurodivergence that ISNT autism or adhd.

Today I got my septum pierced, and I wanted to talk about how accommodating my piercer was to my Tourette’s!! When I told her about it she asked a few questions about if I would move around a lot etc. And then while I was actually getting it done she asked me before if I was feeling okay and said if I moved around she could (up to a point) move with me while I was getting it done

I felt very accepted and it was a very accommodating experience <3

#Also my piercing looks so cute!!#If you have tics and your worried about getting a piercing I would recommend going and talk to the people that will be doing it #tics and tourettes #tourettes #tourette syndrome #septum piercing

After having it brought to my attention that all my spoken vocal tics have a vaguely British accent (despite me very much not having one when I speak lmao), I'm now curious what other ppls tics are like

If you have vocal tics, do they happen in your speaking accent or a different one?

Speaking accent

Not my speaking accent

None of my vocal tics are spoken/words

Voting ended onMay 29

"Speaking accent" in this case just means how the words would sound if you said them without it being a tic; exact interpretation/definition can be whatever you feel fits best /gen

#I get them in both #often my vocal tics are in a more exaggerated version of my normal accent #but sometimes a bad Australian one #I’m from the north of England btw #it definitely depends on what I’m saying #tics and tourettes #tourette syndrome

happy tourette's syndrome awareness month! (May 15th - June 15th)

kujokomi

please stop associating the term neurodivergent with JUST autism and adhd. like please. there are so many ways to be neurodivergent and it’s not fair to assume that it’s just about autism adhd.

We need more characters with Tourette’s in the world

Embossed braille should be standard on computer keyboards.

It would raise braille literacy more than anything else I could imagine - among both the blind and the sighted. Currently braille is actually vanishing due to an increasing reliance on audiobooks and screen readers.

I think that braille has a lot of potential use among non-blind groups. As an alternative to traditional writing for dyslexics. As a way to help photosensitive people type with their eyes closed. Or simply as a means to help sighted people find things without needing the lights on all the time!

Accessibility note: It’s important that braille doesn’t vanish because it’s one of the only written language that works for blind and sight-impaired people. It is necessary for them to interact with the real world where screen readers and audio devices are not available to them, such as elevators, most major metro systems, stairwells, doorways, the bumps in the sidewalk at corners are actually developed in conjunction with audio signals so blind people don’t step off the curb into traffic before the correct time.

Digital technology has made accessibility so much easier for all of us disabled people, but we still *need* the real-world accommodations that we fought and died for

Fun fact, someone having the same or similar tics as another person with Tourette’s doesn’t mean they’re faking.

There are actually three very logical explanations for why this happened.

1. Some tics are just genuinely common. Neck jerking or blinking for example, are extremely common tics that the majority of people with Tourette’s have experienced at some point.

2. Echolalia is another reason, and in a tic disorder context it’s when someone has a tic where they repeat sounds they’ve heard.

3. Tic swapping is similar to echolalia, but it’s when there are two people with tics, and one of them develops a tic they saw or heard from the other person with tics.

Someone with tourettes: hi I have tourettes

The internet:

"DEFINITELY faking. I know what real ticks look like. My second cousin once removed has tourists and it doesnt look like that at all!"

"Do you turette during sex?"

"Do you have ticks when you sleep?"

"Omg ticks and roses part two"

"Why aren't you cursing"

"This doesnt look real because they laugh after their tournetes"

"I dont have tourette's but I have anxiety tics:("

"Why don't you have turrets in all your videos"

"I wish I had tournettes it looks so fun and I could curse people out"

"FAKE"

I don't love having tourette's and tics, but I do love the person I've become because of and in spite of it

when my tics are getting bad again for the first time in almost 2 years and suddenly i’m 14 again worrying i’ll have to give up another dream career because of this disorder

Tourette's is kind of in a weird spot when it comes to classifying it as a disability. Like, is it an invisible disability? Well that depends. Is it a physical disability? Yeah, but it's caused by your brain. Is it neurodivergent? Yes, but it also has a strong physical manifestion. Is it a disability at all? Well that depends on if it's disabling, some people have it so severely they struggle with daily life, and some people have it so mildly it would never get diagnosed, and there's so much variation in between, which also fluctuates for everyone.
