Massive thanks to Conor for his story. 👏🏼 👏🏼
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterised by repetitive, sudden, and involuntary ‘tics’ - these can be motor tics (movements) and verbal tics (sounds). Research indicates that as many as one in 100 Australian school children may be affected, with the typical age of onset around 5 to 7 years. Only 10 per cent of people with Tourette's have coprolalia, the involuntary swearing tics. Read more here: www.healthdirect.gov.au/toure...

Such a touching story. I can't even imagine living with something like this

The change from him starting the video and talking fluently about what he's learned and how it affected his life has reduced the stress and anxiety to offset triggers and its frequency. Truly heartfelt and a great insight to something that's been so stigmatized over the years. Really shows how little we know about ourselves and how much more there is to learn in the mental health sciences from generation to generation. I felt very emotional by the end when I realized he wasn't having as many triggers as he did at the very start when everyone was looking at him waiting to talk.

Thanks for sharing Conor. I can relate to tics and how annoying they can be for me. Nowadays I just laugh to myself that my brain does this stuff all on its own, and its a lot less exhausting to just let it happen. Rather than try and stop when it's just for the perceived benefit of others. It's just another mask I've learned to drop. Your clients are really lucky to have you. They might not realize it now, but I'm sure they will recognize in the future what a great role model you are. Thank you again, and best of luck.

I play in a community band with a trombone player who has tourettes. When he's not playing he quietly swears often, but when he's actually playing his trombone it mostly is not existent. I've always been inspired by that and amazed at the power of music on the brain

You shouldn’t feel bad! I don’t think people think you’re a ‘freak.’ I’ve only seen it once in real life but I found it highly amusing. Brightened my day.

Thank you for sharing this. I also learned a lot about Tourette from Luke Manton, another activist with Tourette.

Dear Conor, I wish you all the best. I have a question.😊 Do the tics also occur when you are dealing with animals? Or are they less then?

@swingtag1041 21 день назад

I took effexor for 3 days and and had tourette's for a week after that. My body would jolt every 60 seconds during the day. Never touched the garbage again.

@darianfoley8682 21 день назад

Sounds like you possibly had brain zaps, I went though the same with with sertraline :/

@icedcosmiclatte 20 дней назад

brain zaps are not Tourette’s or tics. if you take your meds in the correct dosage and frequency you won’t have this issue, it’s a withdrawal syndrome.

Instead of anxiety, when you see someone watching you, turn to them and explain the condition. Good luck in the future if you read this.

@Mu51kM4n 9 дней назад

I know you mean well, but this statement is way out of touch. People with anxiety can't control their anxiety on a whim. We can't just say oh I'm not going to have anxiety now. Also, educating other is important but stopping to explain himself to hundreds of people throughout a day anytime he goes out would be emotionally exhausting and he has no obligation to explain himself all the time
