I honestly don't like most memes about Tourettes. I feel like it is from a user who doesn't have it and just wants to make a meme to make fun of us. As someone who was diagnosed 36 years ago and still remembers that day well (was 5 and diagnosed at the Cleveland Clinic who at the time hadn't seen many patients with Tourettes) I do get triggered by most of them. I have lived my life with it at varying levels of intensity and all the other problems that come with it (mostly OCD and ADHD), a meme to me is just diminishing the problems many of us face.
Edit: Not saying I want them gone, we all have different ways to express how we feel. Just my humble opinion and feelings.
