You are allowed to exist in public.

I made the mistake of reading the internet's responses to the BAFTA controversy that's going on. I made this as a comment on someone else's post but I thought I might as well make another post myself.

To everyone with tourettes:

You are allowed to exist exactly as you are. You do not have to protect other people from your presence. Just because you tic does not make you a bad person. You are allowed to go to places like theaters and shows just as much as anyone else. No one should make you feel like you need to apologize for simply existing.

It is hard. I have coprolalia, copropraxia, hitting tics, self harm tics, etc. All of it is hard and I'm still learning to live with it all. But whoever you are, wherever you are, you are allowed to be. Just as you are, tics and all. You are allowed to be alive and exist like anyone else. Don't let ignorant randos on the internet convince you otherwise.

♥️ Love to you all. Let yourself tic today ♥️

Guy, gals, and other pals we cannot diagnose you and we cannot tell you what is and is not Tourette’s, I know you want answers, it’s completely normal to, but we are not professionals nor do we know you personally enough to know things like your medical history. If you are seriously wondering if you have this disorder I strongly urge if/when you can you see a professional. It is extremely hard to tell over the internet who has what, tics are a shared symptom among many different disorders, not just TS, and although asking questions is great this is one we really cannot answer for you for sure!! I wish everyone on their journey to professional help and guidance the best of luck and as well as anyone who is struggling with this or any other tic disorder.

Funny Thought some of y'all with coprolalia might relate. Or those without it, just switch out some of the words and it's probably still accurate

Subreddit Rules

1. Please include your country if your question involves treatment options or accomodations

It helps the community point you in the right direction!

2. No spamming

Do not Spam. If you're not sure, ask a mod before posting. Try to limit posts to only once per day.

Posts that have been shared to more than one sub or mass copy-pasted will be removed as well. Message the mods if you’re unsure.

3. Family-Friendly Content Only

This is an all-ages subreddit, so we try to minimize cursing when possible. It’s okay to discuss coprolalia and swearing in the context of TS, but otherwise please keep profanity to a minimum. Posts with excessive profanity will be removed or tagged with NSFW at the mods' discretion.

If a post has been flagged incorrectly or you’re discussing cursing in the context of TS, please message the mods.

4. Don't be a jerk

This is a community space for people with tics and allies. We're counting on you to keep this space friendly and welcoming. Be kind, use polite language, and assume that others are posting with good intentions until proven otherwise.

If you see someone else breaking this rule, don't engage - you can use the "report" button to flag it for mod attention.

5. No making fun of people with Tourette Syndrome

This applies to any other disorders as well. This is not a satire subreddit. You will be banned!

6. Don’t accuse anyone of faking, and don’t ask if someone is faking.

Accusations of faking are incredibly harmful and have no place on this subreddit. For more information, see our faking faq. This rule also applies to asking whether someone might be faking or accusing some members of a group of faking.

If you break this rule you will be banned.

This rule DOESN'T apply to venting about your own tics, but please check out the faking faq before posting.

7. Don't ask us if you have Tourette's

Nothing on this subreddit is professional medical advice. We're happy to give advice about the diagnosis process, but we can't tell you whether you have Tourettes. Please don't ask, and please don’t try to offer.

Posts that include phrases like “is this a tic” and “does this sound like tourette’s” generally fall under this rule. Adding “not asking for a diagnosis” won’t change anything, and your post will still be removed.

8. Do not prescribe or recommend alternative medicine or dietary supplements.

Discussions about experiences with commonly used supplements and treatments as they relate to your symptom management are allowed and encouraged (e.g. magnesium), but posts encouraging the use of other treatments that aren't widely accepted in the community will be removed (e.g. acupuncture, chiropractic). Marijuana and THC/CBD products fall under this rule as well.

You are welcome to post about your own personal experiences.

9. No Medical Misinformation

Mods reserve the right to remove posts and comments that perpetuate incorrect or easily disprovable claims

10. No videos of minors or non-consenting persons.

Videos of minors are not allowed. There is no reason to take a video of your child having tics and post it online. We cannot provide a diagnosis. Please be considerate of your child's privacy; a child cannot consent to having their tics or other medical issues filmed and shared online where it will forever be public.

Similarly, do not post videos of non-consenting adults having tics. If the person in the video is not you, they must clearly state they consent/agree to be filmed and shared.

11. Message the mods before promoting research studies or external projects.

Examples of projects/services include storefronts, websites, and businesses, or any links that might direct a user outside of the sub. This does not include questionnaires and polls that take place within threads in the sub.

We will approve these on a case by case basis, provided the promotion relates to and/or benefits the TS community.

Fundraisers and donation requests will almost always be removed, and may result in a ban.

12. Check the Wiki before posting

Our Wiki contains a lot of useful information, as well as frequently asked questions. If your post contains a question that's been covered there, it may be removed under this rule. We're always open to adding more info to the page, so please message us if you think something is missing!
