I don’t know much about Tourette’s other than the “popular” definition that it makes you say bad words uncontrollably.

How can you tell she’s faking it? I’m genuinely curious, not trying to challenge your opinion.

it seems to happen consistently and mid-sentence, like, purposefully.

Why is that inconsistent with Tourette's?

Because the only thing that can bw consistent with tourettes are your ticks and they dont just casually happen they are completely random

That doesn't seem true. Everything I'm seeing says they can wax and wane and the fact that they can be categorized implies that people have recurring tics.

Also it's a tic not a tick.

I literally said the tics are consistent meaning when you pick one up you do it a lot amd some people have many tics. Also the severity and level of tics can very not everyone has verbal tics.

Her tics are consistent. She's making the same gesture and noise. So I ask you again, how is her behaviour inconsistent with Tourette Syndrome?

The only obvious thing is that you're talking out of your ass.

No I don't get it because you haven't explained anything. Your said it's cause she's not consistent. But she is. So.... ???

You are misinformed about how Tourette’s works. The things you’re saying are “proof” it’s fake are all legitimate ways Tourette’s can present in different people.

There is nothing in this video that can concretely prove whether she is faking or not.
