@@Morbiscrazygirl4447u it does, aspergers is on the spectum and aspergers isnt really a diagnosis anymore in a lot of places, youre most likely going to be diagnosed with asd instead
@@Morbiscrazygirl4447u It just isn't officially called Aspergers anymore. I think it was because they wanted to (understandably) distance and re-evaluate the criteria created by a literal N*zi.
Same! Well I’m not autistic but I have friends that have autism and they have to pay A LOT for their treatment just to get by. Urgh people who fake these disorders aren’t empathetic…
@@Morbiscrazygirl4447u oh really? I usually just said autism because it was hard to explain what Aspergers were so I just called it that but thanks for letting me know :]
A person with tics here! The narrator said that “they would post videos where they wouldn’t tic” a lot of people with tics/Tourette’s can go days, weeks, even a few months without ticing, depending on how they’re feeling and what’s going on in their life, especially if their tics are stress or anxiety induced (like mine). It IS possible that ticsandroses would record videos when they weren’t ticing and post those on the second account (I’m in no way saying they DO have tics, just if they did have tics, and for future reference), quite a few context creators actually with tics/Tourette’s do this. Just wanted to make more people aware this is a thing
yes! (im a year late😂 but) my brother has tics and his go away for couple minutes to hours (not days since his are getting worse) and then they come back
As a person who's cousin has tics, I'm seriously so pissed about these kinds of people, having tics is actually very difficult to live with, my cousin keeps saying the he'll sacrifice anything just to get rid of his tics, he has broken his arm twice because of tics, faking tics is not cool, and you'll not become famous of it, so stop.
And your right it is difficult my school said eh you can just go get check up Me: that’s not how it works School:😐 Me tics is a liv *tic* ing nightmare I’m sorry if *tic* I tic My teacher bull *tic* lies me for *tic* it
True. I have tics myself and even tho mine is just mild its very hard for me. Everytime i get strong emotions like anger i get tics and its hard for me to express my self to other people which make me even more stressed. One time I fought with a classmate and had tics ,because of that she just laughed at me and dont even try to understand what im saying. I had kids calling me weird in public because of my tics even if im used to it its still hurtful. Also people do be thinking having Tourettes are just making noises and squinting. Like- at times i would bang my head unconsciously because of it . I even broke my neck (tho its just a slight injury) tics is not cute or funny . Its a serious matter. Its not used in gaining clout and fame. (Btw ticsandroses girl do be acting so bad lmao. Idk how she thinks she can fool everyone. And also im pretty sure most of the people on tiktok who actually have tics dont just post their tics casually. Most of them help others with tics how to solve our daily problems and also spread awareness of our condition)
I have deleted Tik Tok for this reason. I have seen so many people fake Autism and claiming that self diagnosis is valid, and as someone who is autistic, it made me so angry and hurt. You cannot diagnose yourself with anything, especially not with things like ASD. These people don’t know the harm they are doing to actual Autistic people.
As a person with ADHD I didn't know people fake having it honestly it would be something really hard to fake because there's so much more to it than just "being hyper".( I also have dyslexia, but grammarly helps out with that. 😊) Edit: i haven't been on this acount for three months and i would just like to say that i had autism from ages 1-5 and it hasn't seemed to be that obvious and my family and doctors are noticing that I'm showing signs of autism i will update y'all soon, also thank you for all the likes, edit: bro wtf, autism doesnt just go away idk why i said that, anyways turns out i never had autism just fllaming hot bpd lol, also i would like to clerify im not the one with dyslexia thats my friend we share this acc
Yeah adhd is something really hard to actually fake, but it's also hard to claim someone doesn't have and YES GRAMMERLY IS FANTASTIC FOR HELPING, even if you don't have dyslexia I recommend it - a fellow dyslexic person with adhd
Seriously ppl need to fuck off if they continue because I had this bad tic that I broke my leg and it hurts so fucking bad like what this girl faking I gotten in trouble by so much teachers by my Tourette’s and some teachers bully me
It's really painful,as from experience I have a punching tic,where I've bruised my fists,and neck jerks- And vocal ones do too,they can ruin your throat-
Yea my sister has Tourette’s and she has developed ones with her eyes and it’s been giving her really bad migraines and headaches and making her eyesight worse. People just need to stop faking these-
I'll tell you the truth, for a day they would probably be like: YES!! I DONT NEED TO FAKE ANYMORE!!!11!1!1!1! so I'd like to see them dealing with it for a year
I have a question when she put the bag on her head when she had a “tic” does that really happen to people you actually have Tourettes ? (Sorry if this is offensive, I am just curious, and I don’t know much about Tourettes )
Just wanna point something out. My brother has Tourette’s and he doesn’t hurt himself. Not everyone hurts themselves Btw. But still that’s very upsetting that they fake it. That’s rude and disrespectful.
there's a lot of misconceptions about tourettes in these comments and in this video... I'm not saying she isn't faking... but some of these points are not that valid. for example this belief that you have to have tourettes as a kid. you can develop it as an adult, I developed mine at 16.
As someone with autism, i can confirm that other nuerodivergent individuals can have tics. For autistic individuals it may look like stims. but stim is a repeatitive movement that you cant control that helps Regulate your body when ypu are overstimulated. Tics are involentary movements or sayings or even muscle tensing that you cant control that happen out of spite. Sometimes for people with autism tics can also happen when overstimulated And overwhelmed but if its repeatitive thats a stim. Like for instanst constantly flapping my hands and flapping my stuffies is a stim i do. Neck jerking and doing a pfftttrhhh are my tics when im under stress or even at random moments for no particular reason.
I have anxiety and it’s sad but I hate seeing people literally just in order to get clout. It’s sad and Having anxiety isn’t something to be made fun of
Most young ppl nowadays have anxiety. My dad had to pick my sister up from school about 4 times this year because of sudden panic attacks. And apperantly many people in her school have the same problem. So having anxiety is no longer something someone would fake for cloud because most ppl just have it given how f* the world amd society is.
I have ADD and people who “wish they had it” or pretend to have it, I will trade with you any day. My medication makes me lose and gain weight spontaneously, small bits at a time to the point where it’s unhealthy. And if I stop taking it, I get overstimulated and have incredible panic attacks. I also have tics due to this, where I hurt or embarrass myself regular.
@@g1na730 it kinda is tho cuz like people who fake it and get caught make it harder for people with actual tics. As in people will assume they are also faking when they are not. And then living with that disorder must be hella painful and just out right annoying and people faking it for the views when they don't know the struggle yea it is
I was diagnosed with tourettes in second grade. I’m afraid to post or talk to people about it because people would probably say I’m faking it. When I was diagnosed I didn’t even know what it was. I luckily have a really good supportive bestie (thanks Joce!) and she recently complimented me on how my tics are getting better and I appreciate people like that so much. She gives me hope that one day I can come over my tourettes or at least people will acknowledge I’m not faking it
This isn’t directed towards Anna or anyone but just want to clear up that tics CAN be painful, but aren’t always painful. For me, most of them are more annoying that painful, which is why it’s weird that ticsandroses laughed literally every single time. Ticking literally every day becomes exhausting, not fun and games.
right. i have diagnosed tics, but they arent nearly as bad as people with tourette’s, although they still make me quite sore at the end of the day, and i always get tired
Sometimes when my head tics (it does a full turn to the left sometimes it does a double take) it gives me a headache or makes it worse, popped my neck on a few occasions too lol Not diagnosed with torretes so I'm assuming that mine are from stress, but maybe its an ADHD thing that I don't know about.
@@your_dad_on_vacation not sure, some people have anxiety tics from various disorders so it could be that. But I’d be sure to check w a doctor if they’re associated with headaches and your spine.
People faking ADHD will only focus on the “cute quirky” stuff. They’ll emphasize the hyperactivity, and the constant distraction. “Aaaa I’m so hyper I literally can’t stop moving- OMG HAVE YOU SEEN THE KNEW VENOM MOVIE YET- oo look there’s a bird” but they’ll never bring up that ADHD causes extreme memory problems to a point where I (a person who has been diagnosed since early childhood) cannot remember anything from last year whatsoever as if the whole year itself didn’t happen. People faking it won’t talk about how stupid you feel constantly because it’s like there’s a physical block in your head preventing you from learning and preforming well and just being capable of scoring average on tests. I have an IQ of 125, but every time I take my placement tests in school I get told I’m still at 8th grade level even though I’m a Junior atm. And the people faking it will never talk about how painful it is to have your teacher talk to you as if you’re incredibly stupid, or a child, because you’re constantly getting low scores and they don’t understand how you can’t simply just retain this info in your head, why notes aren’t helping you, or why trying to study is an impossible feet. People faking ADHD won’t talk about how it causes you to be unable to sleep at night, how it gives you extreme insomnia because your brain wants to be constantly active and you’ll only sleep if you work yourself to your breaking point because only then will you be able to fall asleep reasonably. And the people faking it don’t talk or show it because they DONT EVEN KNOW. To every average person it seems like ADHD just makes you super hyper and distracted. They don’t know the details. It’s painful to see these people fake it for attention. It’s painful to watch them glorify it. ADHD isn’t funny. It’s not pretty. It’s not fun. It’s a nightmare.
I have ADHD and have had it since childhood it was hard to concentrate and actually do good in some subjects i didnt have tbe memory loss til I got older im still trying to function right as a 26yo adult Also mine was diagnosed bu a doctor so its literally in my medical records people faking it also apperently doesnt that the government keeps tabs on your medical records in case you need the paperwork one day and yes it is very hard to sleep but it really is hard to also sit still
@@aprilcheney586 yeah I have medical records too. I have some other issues not related to adhd such as EFD and they’re both classified as learning disabilities so sometimes I don’t know which affects what in my life. Plus no one knows what EFD is so I just say adhd and their first response is usually “oh I think I have that too” or “Same” but usually they’ve never been diagnosed so it gets frustrating trying to communicate an issue im having with other people.
A friend of mine from middle school has tics and I worry about him sometimes. He’s genuinely a funny person and always keeps a smile and creating new ideas. I cant imagine what it would be like to be in his shoes or someone’s else’s. The fact that they are mocking a serious condition is honestly disrespectful. They better stop and discontinue this rebellious act. Hopefully they reach out to their family again because I can’t go a day let alone a second without being with my family. They need to get themselves together real quick.
Same for me but she's a girl named Jurnee. She's really nice and really quiet! I love her so much and when she told me she has tics I thought she was joking. Then I was hanging out with her for a day and I saw her have a tic and I was like "OMG JURNEE ARE YOU OK!?" and then I believed her. I'm really scared for her . Is it deadly? I'm worried
These people need to learn that having a disability isn’t “cool” or “quirky”. Many people suffer from these disorders, it’s never fun for the actual person with the disorder. In fact, it’s extremely rude and disrespectful to pretend to have a disorder and these people need to understand that.
its funny how every person who fakes tics just so happens to have Tourettes. not any other tic disorder, it has to be Tourettes. also the fact that they only have cute uwu kawaii tics or lol funny tics instead of ones that physically hurt them like how tics actually does to people who genuinely have them. also that they always seem to have coprolalia or at-least verbal tics. they literally just take the most popular and romanticized parts of tic disorders and have them. its disgusting tbh.
I don’t have Tourette’s, but I do have ticks developed from ADHD and anxiety over the years. I wish people realized how truly exhausting and frustrating it is to not be able to control yourself. This girl can go somewhere else
Hi, I struggled with tics bad as a kid, its better now as I've found ways to control it, i was diagnosed with the minor condition, however i tend to have times where ill have many tics which lasts weeks, its hella painful, there's people who have it worse than me and knowing from that pain I agree with you I feel so bad for them 🥺
@HAIKYUUSIMP😩😫 yea :/ I had a friend who never had it back when I went to school, she would point out that I looked like a robot when my eyes flickered, then a few days after she discovered I had tics, she suddenly had them.... People started to point it out and say she was faking (which as someone who has them I know she was) im not too sure why people see it as a trend but I tend to keep it to myself because of this, don't get me wrong sometimes it's a compliment. A few days ago a girl in my college said she noticed I have it and said it's cute so she tries to copy me, i dont mind too much but it's cuz she's not educated on it so it makes it awkward lol
i actually have adhd, and people in my school say they have it it be “qUiRkY” hEhE no it’s not cute or funny, it makes people miserable when will some people grow up
i don't normally laugh at real tics because people's struggles aren't automatically funny unless they're comfortable enough to share that laugh with you-- but something about seeing them go SIMMMBA fucking KILLED me.
There was a really cute Canadian girl on RU-vid I would watch when her tics were bad and her medication had since made it so much better for her but she had such CUTE vocal tics and she giggles at herself and accepting herself so it was relieving to smile along to her cuteness but also knowing it’s a struggle as my niece has motor tics and she’s such a strong little girl about her Tourette’s but it’s been hard.
so i have tics- and i laugh with people! but one of my friends (also w/ tics) hates people laughing with them unless they deal with it themselfs... so it depends on the person!
i was diagnosed with ADHD, Dyslexia, And general anxiety disorder, and to see people fake it, just makes me sad, they don’t know how hard it is to learn with my disorders.
Completely get you on this. i was diagnosed very recently and ive been put on medication for all of it. My family (except for my mom and two of my uncles) don’t think I need the medicine and im faking. My one cousin was a a drug addict and says that adhd medicine can hurt me when all mine actually does is boost my dopamine levels and what not. It’s become really frustrating because now I finally feel like i can live easier even tho sometimes i have pretty bad anxiety attacks in my classes(im in 10th and we all know how crappy people can be during high school)
right I have mood disorder and people don’t understand that this type of stuff is serious. like the time my cousin was lying about having adhd cause she explains herself to be “crazy” 💀💀.. people just love seeking attention ig
I used to be grade school friends with a boy who had tourettes, and I can remember we were cutting and gluing some kind of little school project craft. And him crying because his ticks(eye twitching and a little body shudder) made it difficult for him to follow along with the teacher. Like that's not cute to fake what people have to struggle with.💔
Alot of people say I have ADHD because I cant remember ANYTHING, zone out and they looked everything up. I have all the symptoms but that doesnt mean that I say I have ADHD. Its HORRIBLE to fake disorders because they are EXHAUSTING. I have a friend who has ADHD and they have multiple anxiety and panic attacks because of their disorder. I cant believe anyone would think of doing that, let alone actually doing it. smh
ADHD is not just being hyper. It’s feeling overwhelmed with everyday tasks at work and home. Panicking when you can’t remember if you forgot to do or bring something, hell even remembering when you last ate. It’s often associated with anxiety and depression. The ages of 14-19 were hell for me because of this. It’s not cute or funny. Humor can be a way to cope but weeks or months of being in the throes of a depressive episode reveals it is not always laughing about it and getting famous on the internet for clout.
Everyone thinks ADHD is just when you are hyper when its not i have ADHD my self and it isn’t the best , Some people who have ADHD have to take medication just so they can concentrate in lessons, I don’t have to take any medication but i have a family member who does
Yea I takes med to help me focus but I'm still very hyper along with other stuff and one girl said when I was talking loud and laughing "don't you take medicine to make you shut up and t I calm you down" I replied with " no I take meds for focus they don't really help anything else" My school mates also say the r slur as a word for stupid it hurts because they say it and mock people with turrets Tics adhd and add alot and it hurts they also laugh at one if my teachers son who has autism ( I hate that teacher though she's the worst )
Yes. People often struggle to pay attention or get tasks right and for women they tend to have a bad lack of memory and they are more lazy and dried out.
It really sucks seeing people turn things that you've struggled so badly with into a trend. I don't have tics, but I have been diagnosed with ADHD and depression. ADHD causes me to almost always fall behind the rest of the class, and there are some things where no matter how hard I try, I just don't get it. with depression, it's not cool. I pushed away my dad back when my depression was super bad and I'm just now reconnecting with him, but I've lost a lot of moments with him I will never be able to get back.
I 100% understand I am moderately autistic with severe ADHD and I occasionally have tics but not often I have to work 10x harder just to be well average it’s not easy and I understand you are going though it’s so hard
I have rather severe Tourette’s syndrome and it disgusts me to see people faking the condition for clout. Thank you for bringing awareness to this situation it means a lot!🥰
I swear to god i have tics and it's fucking horrible. I've broken laptops, hurt myself, dropped my phone, broken several phones broken cooking appliances and thrown food everywhere. It isn't funny or quirky it's a fucking disability
My dads friend has Tourette’s, he mostly just flinched and cussed ALOT. And it made people not like him- I think. And even people with smaller tics are greatly effected. Idk sorry if I am wrong!
I’ve seen those Tik Toks of people faking ADHD with videos that go “reacting to this audio as a person with ADHD” or something like that. Like- dude it doesn’t make you react different or anything. It blows my mind as someone with a severe case of ADHD. It makes me VERY upset.
Both my Mima and sister have it and it seems so annoying as a person who doesn’t have it and I was like, "they did such a bad job faking it that even I can tell it fake" and told my Mima and sister about it too. I actually just think it’s a little funny, but it’s still not okay to fake it :/
@♡The Feels oh do you mean the person who fakes it, I’m sorry I just don’t understand sometimes it takes me awhile to understand things lol that’s part of my autism.
As a friend of somebody with autism, It can be annoying for the person to deal with tics as I know since I am with them often, And it’s horrible to see people doing this! So if you are one of those people, Shame on you.
as somebody *with* tics, it's really exhausting. I've broken my nose, fingers and have given myself concussions from this disorder, and it's utterly offensive when people like them fake what I have to live with every day. it's an exhausting disorder and it's not fair for people like us. thank you for talking about this, Anna!
@fern !! I don’t have Tourette’s and I just wanted to ask, how did you hurt yourself? Are all Tics kind of the same? (I’m not trying to be rude, I just wanna understand it better.)
There are definitely days where my friend (process of getting diagnosed with tourettes) doesn't tic as much, but then there are some days where it's so straining and exhausting for them because they have constant tics. I could see how a person with tourettes can livestream without tics, but it's pretty rare. Ticandroses really disgusts me. They've hurt everyone who actually has tourettes. Hopefully some day they'll feel guilt for what they've did.
@dar which is why this comment is so sad. ppl make fun of or don’t want acknowledge what ppl want to be called. it’s basic respect that literally is always made fun of :/
Why would I respect HER pronouns when SHE disrespects so many people by faking an illness for clout and views that so many ppl would give up anything not to have. She's not getting an ounce of respect from me sorry not sorry.
I have minor tics (not diagnosed tourette's, just tics). I've hurt myself a few times because of them, however they were not too bad. This person is absolutely disgusting for faking tourette's syndrome,,, I used to follow them, liked their videos, and supported them. I'm ashamed that I used to love them and their content. Thank you Anna for talking about this topic and spreading awareness.
I also have small tics that arent diagnosed as turrettes(mainly because i dont think what i have is as extreme as tourettes and i dont have a nearby clinic that specializes in it) but yeah- they can hurt and is honestly embarrassing in public, i cant understand how people will go around and fake it, it can be hell to live with.
Same here, I get tics (though I’m not diagnosed because I’m in a family where the response to any mental illness/issue is “it’s all in your head”) and even though it’s nowhere near as serious as someone with Tourette’s, at least a third of the tics I get include self harm (again, nothing major. it’s mostly just slapping myself, but never hard enough to inflict any damage beyond the initial sting). It’s incredibly embarrassing to live with, especially in public because I get weird stares. And if I know the person I do it in front of i always feel like I *have* to explain what they just witnessed even if I’m not ready for that yet. The fact that someone would just fake this because they think it’s quirky and will get them sympathy points is so gross.
I have tics too not tourettes just from head injuries. And I try to support being with disorders but it hard when people fake it. Or when people think I'm faking my tics and it causes me to explain my abusive childhood to get them to understand.
As someone with ADHD I could never understand why anyone would want to fake having it. I have to wear headphones all day to stop myself from having anxiety attacks from overstimulation at school. My medication makes it to where I can only eat in small quantities but I don’t know I’m hungry till I feel sick from the hunger, so it’s just a game of roulette with my hunger. Not to mention things like rejection sensitivity that make it hard for me to discern if my friends are mad at me, a lack of a filter when I talk to people and no real way of discerning tone, and executive dysfunction which makes it hard to do even really basic tasks like putting on my shoes in the morning.
@@Steampoodle Exactlyyyyy, like being disabled is a whole dang hassle and people on TikTok get to just decide they’re in a silly goofy mood and wanna have ADHD
@@alittlefruitfairy and the worst part is when they say “my adhd ‘kicked in.’” Like adhd and add doesn’t “kick in” it’s a constant effort to even function at some points. Constantly having the downsides and every now and then a benefit. If you can even call it a benefit, more like a substitute to make up for what we don’t have :/
@@Steampoodle Yeah! I can’t stand when people say things like that, it under the same vein of when people say “just learn to focus,” like no??? It’s so much more than that, this is something I have to live with all the time, not just when I can’t focus :|
Two of my friends have Tourettes and it’s really sad watching them hurt themselves with Tourettes. It’s really sad :( People who make fun of people are just awful Completely off topic: Wtf guys, I literally just comment something and y’all arguing in the replies 💀
one of my friends developed tourettes over the past year and its made their mental health so much worse like imagine being fine and then developing a life long syndrome
I have tourette syndrome. People like this genuinely hurt me and others more than they realise. It gives other people a reason to accuse those of us who genuinely have it an excuse to call us fake. Btw, these tics could have been real. Genuinely. Just because someone has tics that look fake or doesn't tic at all during certain times doesn't make them fake. Not ticcing all the time is common. For example, me! I don't tic when playing piano.
Yeah I heard that focusing helps reduce ticcing and that they can go away for hours or years so I always feel iffy about people “faking”. It really sucks how people fake disorders. Because of so many people faking depression when I was younger I couldn’t tell that I actually had it and now I’m 4 years later into treatment than I could’ve been. I can’t imagine what it must be like having people say you don’t even have it :(
@@cowabanger Personally, I feel like if someone is going so far as to fake a disorder then they do genuinely need help, just not for what they're pretending to have. It's not something a mentally healthy person would do. I hope you're okay ❤️
I hate it when people fake ADHD just to be different cuz me myself has ADHD but not as bad as some people. sometimes when I see people fake ADHD it’s kind of offensive :(
I also have ADHD (mines pretty bad lol) and I get this. I hate people who fake it. They don’t even know how to fake it half of the time and make it super obvious
Btw I wanted to ask does that happen with you too that brain fog occurs and you start shaking your head randomly cuz it's annoying. I control myself in public bc they will think I fake tics
I’ve have ADHD too and it is pretty annoying and kind of upsetting when people fake it especially when they don’t know all of the affects of having it. Lots of people that fake it just think it’s getting distracted easily and yes that can be part of it but at least for me it is so much more than that and isn’t this cute quirky thing that the fakers try to make it out to be.
@@abbiewilson9092 Exactly, I think I have ADHD or at least something along the lines of that, it not just being hyper or staring into space. For me, if I don't get enough sleep I either dissociate or hyperfocus, no in-between. It's super annoying and before I researched about it I was super frustrated because I hated how 'lazy' I was
Thank you Anna for covering this. People need to realize how disgusting this is! As someone with mental disorders, Autism and schizophrenia, it makes me angry to see people faking having these disorders! It’s like they are mocking people with disorders. My disorders have been a curse and I’ve always wished I could live a normal life.
I remember this one tiktok where this person said “when you have a mom with ADHD” and the mom made like 6 different dinners because she “forgot that she made them” when they were all made in one day and they were all meals that would take a lot of time like lasagna, spaghetti, soup, etc. This makes me sick because that isn’t realistic to people with ADHD, we don’t just forget that we spent many hours preparing a meal big enough for a thanksgiving with 100 people in one day. People need to learn that faking any disorder is not okay, especially if someone feels like they might have a disorder but because of some random TikTok then they aren’t valid enough to even ask their doctor about it
I forget simple stuff like if my mom asks me to do one thing later at that day, if i happen to do something in the meantime i will most likely forget it. I also cant focus in class, cause i am thinking of something else that carries me to another thing and not focus. I hate to see people on tiktok fetishize adhd like it would be quirky to actually have it
Also how does someone with adhd even have the energy to prepare 6 meals without getting bored and uninterested..? It takes so many hours to make that many meals also,, I might make plans to bake like 4 different pastries but then when I’m in the kitchen I might end up making 2 different pastries and only got halfway through the 3rd and now I’m too uninterested and bored to continue on lmao
Watching people lie about having ADHD is so infuriating. I had to deal with anxiety, depression and an eating disorder because of the way my mind is structured. ADHD isnt some quirky accessory for your personality
@@Deciarin Yeah ir also has to do with circumstances. But people with ADHD do have a bigger chance on having eating disorders or depression anxiety ect. Im happy that it’s not as hard on you though! (:
I have ADHD, and I don't tell the world all the time that I have it. Cause I wanted to be treated normally. Mine is restless mental thoughts of daydreaming, overthinking, and anxiety. It hurts not being able to focus like how others are and had to go IEP and now Disable students so they can educate me differently to understand the lessons in a more open way. Sorry but I hate when people fake disorders. It's not cute, and others have to live and suffer from what they are born or develop. For anyone who has any of the conditions on the video, please remember you're human/alive, so keep taking care of yourself.
I have ADHD too. mine is when I tend to lose focus, anxiety, and overthinking. I have to take this medication that helps me regain focus again but it hurts that people fake disorders for attention:(
Ikr, I was diagnosed when I was about eight years old and whenever I struggle with somthing my mom says it’s because of my adhd, and I hate it because I just wanna feel like a normal person.
Not everyone with Tourettes hurt themselves. My teacher has Tourettes and doesn’t hit himself or anything. He will have sudden movements of like moving is head, hands, arms, or legs, and he will just blink a lot. So I don’t think you should say that people with Tourettes hit themselves. I’m not saying that she actually does have tics, but please don’t say that tics will cause you to hurt yourself all the time because that’s just not true. And yes they do cause you to hurt yourself but not for everyone and you made it seem like everyone hits themselves when they have tics.
It doesn’t man actual self harm like hitting themselves…sudden movements while doing something can cause you to hurt yourself. Like using a kitchen knife and having a tic, it’s easy to accidentally hurt yourself.
Coming from a person with Tourette’s, harming yourself also comes in the form of sudden and fast movements. I don’t think Anna meant actually hitting yourself
Not defending them, but some people don’t have harmful tics. Tics can be strictly verbal or physical. And most of the community doesn’t have cursing tics. As someone who suffers from this disorder I can honestly say that this is gross. A tell tale sign that someone is faking is how fast they bounce back from a tic!
It wasn't that they "never had a harmful tic" but more so they would fake tics that could them but conveniently would stop before they got hurt or wouldn't do it as intense as they claimed. They were faking hurting themself without actually doing it which is how people knew it was fake. Jus look at comps of tics and roses to see what I mean
People would always ask why I don’t cuss and I’d have to explain that it’s not common at all in Tourette’s Syndrome. Yes, there are people with those tics, but it’s not common.
I don't like how people use tourette's as a gate way to being popular on TikTok because my sister has tourette's and some times she cries because of how bad her neck hurts from moving her head up and down really fast 24/7 and sometimes she feels like she has to hide her ticks in public so she doesn't get made fun of or laughed.
You CAN have tics without being diagnosed with tourrettes, in fact a lot of people can randomly get tics or it can be related to anxiety & neurodiergencies. While there are certainly people out there faking w malicious intent I still do think it's dangerous to encourage people to hunt out "fakers" and start entire subreddits "investigating" people. It leads to shit like r/fakedisorderscringe where people just mock anyone who doesn't fit their exact idea of a disorder. Fakers may suck but harassers suck even more tbh.
@@tadhgogorman3459 yep, and they can even emerge at any age. I think a lot of people don't realize that and think it has to be some life long, entirely regular thing.
Glad you brought this up. A lot of other disorders can have tics as a symptom and it often goes unrecognized because most people don’t realize the symptom can come with disorders other than Tourette’s
I have tics that happen very rarely but I don't have that illness. My Dr blamed ptsd from childhood that caused my tic which is a huge flinch and head jerk but only happens when I hear extremely loud noises like yelling sirens things like that.
I cannot STAND all these tiktokers pretending to have Tourette’s, a disorder is not “trendy” And I find it incredible disrespectful to those content creators who DO have Tourette’s and struggle with it each day. 🤦🏻♀️
As a person with a disorder , it’s repulsive that people are faking having one ! Like it’s not a trend people with these disorders actually struggle everyday and don’t get to just “turn it off” !
Thank you so much for posting this. My daughter was diagnosed with Tourette's 3 years ago when she was in 3rd grade. It is mostly facial tics and excessive throat clearing, but it gets worse the more she is stressed, and navigating middle school is stressful. Her school knows about it and plans have been put into place to help her, but about a month ago, I started noticing her excessively ticking when she gets home, to the point where her jaw starts swelling and making audible noises from the severity of her tics. She ends up telling me that she was getting in trouble at school for "rolling her eyes" and "giving disrespectful faces when reprimanded" so she was trying to hold them in, making her stress more and making everything so much worse. I called the school and held a conference with the teacher that was doing this. She informed me that she didn't believe the diagnosis and that her facial expressions are just bad habits that she has been trying to help correct. She did her research apparently and, because my daughter doesn't shout profanities or slaps people, she didn't believe my daughter really has it, even though papers from the neurologist says differently. It was ultimately fixed, my daughter no longer has that teacher and the teacher was reprimanded for not following plans that were in place, but it is hard not to put partial blame on those faking Tourette's, as they add to the belief that Tourette's is always severe and make an actual diagnosis more likely to be questioned.
as a person with tourettes, i will say that someone doing a live stream w/o ticcing alone is not proof that someone is faking tourettes. ive gone up to a few days without ticcing, and other times, i tic constantly. though paired with other evidence in the case of ticsandroses, it is clear to me that they dont actually have tourettes.
@Marissa • im not an authority on this. i dont know you. but i will say that many people with add/adhd, autism, or ocd have tics, and they do often come out when thinking about tics and seeing someone tic id say most likely, youre not faking. especially since you worry that you are because FUN FACT: people who are faking usually know that they are, so they tend to not worry about it
Yes anna!! I’ve been researching abt his person for so long, and have been wanting an explanation to their actions! Thank you so much for coming out with this video, this person is truly disgusting.
What is the progress..like I don't wanna be nosy but I genuinely wanna know if they are faking it or not cause if they are its very disrespectful and wrong in so many levels
As a person with tourette's, it is really disgusting to see people fake it on videos like that. It is not a joke and it is not fun. Faking tourette's on videos just for views is just awful. Then laughing about it? That is just showing others that people with tourette's (that actually suffer from it like myself), are probably faking it which they don't! It is hard. I have had tourette's syndrome since I was 12 years old, which got worse to the point that I have fallen down stairs and gotten seriously injured by ticcing. And do you really think yelling "I have covid 19" at school and in the stores is funny? It's embarrassing and sometimes can cause you to have other troubles like being kicked out of stores, the cinema, etc. Thank you so much for putting this out there. I hope that ticsandroses gets themselves straightened out. And if you are reading this and are faking tourette's for attention, I hope you get some help or guidance.
As a 31 year old woman who woke up one morning with uncontrollable motor and vocal tics, it upsets me greatly to see this. I can't tell you just how TERRIFYING it was when it first started and the numerous tests and doctors visits, worrying that something was seriously wrong or that I had a brain tumor and my babies were going to lose their mother..... It was such a stressful time and my tics were so bad I didn't even want to leave my house because tbh it was embarrassing and the embarrassment feeling made my tics even worse. After tons of different testing and various doctors visits, I was diagnosed with adult onset tourettes. Learning to cope with this has changed my life entirely. I've hurt myself more times than I can count, I now have marks and scars from different violent tics. During tic attacks I've cried, begged, and even prayed for the tics to just stop because it HURTS, not just the violent (head hitting/punching/biting) tics but just my body hurts from random movement. My neck muscles have grown because I do a pretty much constant head jerk one, it gets sore really often because of it, especially if its a hard fast jerk.. 2020 was the hardest year of my life in many ways and now in 2021 I'm finally accepting that this is my life. I've been going to therapy to learn how to cope with it and also how to feel "normal" and not be embarrassed by it. You would be shocked how many people blatantly stare or nudge the person they are with, its so humiliating. I have horrible social anxiety and when my anxiety gets worse the tics start getting worse too so its a vicious cycle and people staring doesn't help. This is why its so important to mind your own damn business. If you see someone in person making weird gestures or saying shit just mind your own business. Not everyone who does that type of stuff is on drugs, some of us just have brains that say "hey you should do this" and our body is like "ok cool". The way I described it to my doctor and to anyone who asks me what a tic feels like; to me is that its kind of like an itch. Most times, you just mindlessly scratch the itch without thinking about it so the itch goes away. Sometimes you notice it "hey I have an itch" and you scratch it to relieve that feeling and make yourself feel better. Then sometimes you recognize the itch and choose not to scratch it until you physically can't take it anymore and end up itching yourself bloody or with a worse itchiness than if you just scratched it. I mean shit, even writing this took me a while lol. On bad days I use talk to text because I tend to yeet my phone if I try to hold it more than a few minutes. Threw it a mop bucket the other day so yeahhhh that was fun.... also if your phone doesn't work after a night in rice try leaving it in for 2 more days and try again lmao
I do want to point out the fact that some people with tourette's syndrome on tik Tok do refilm their tik toks a lot in order to not tic in them because they know they'll probably face backlash
as someone who has tics (not diagnosed with tourettes but ive had tics for over 2 months now) I am disgusted with how many poeple are using a life changing and harmful thing just for clout. I can't go a day without being asked if im faking and it fucking hurts. Tysm for speaking up about this anna, my love never stops growing for you.
I’ve had tics since like the 7th grade I think? But I never really question it wasn’t an everyday thing as I got older It got a bit more frequent but still not frequent enough to question it but I will say they do hurt a lot and I’m gonna get checked out to see if I do have it or not
I just want to add that people with Tourettes can have anything from a few hours up to months where they don’t tic, depending on the severity of the disorder. Not ticcing for some time isn’t proof of anything by itself, although combined with all the other things (especially the video where they say they have Huntington’s) makes it kinda likely that they are faking
NEVER EVER JOKE OR FAKE HAVING A SYNDROME!!! people actually go through this, they live their everyday life with it. Joking around about it is just disgusting and utterly ridiculous. GET EDUCATED PEOPLE 👏
I had two friends with severe tics (one had tourettes the other had anxiety tics) and they genuinely suffered from it. Ironically, I had an ex (who was also friends with the people with tics) who faked having tourettes. I knew my ex for two years before he told me he “had tourettes” . I think he only “ticked” twice. I am very glad he is my ex.
Also the people that are swearing or saying stuff like “daddy” as they’re Tourette’s annoy me because I looked more into it and it’s very rare to have swearing as a tic and there are so many people on TikTok who swear as they’re tic, it’s very disrespectful to do stuff like that
Coprolalia is in 10% of people with Tourette’s. However, it could be possible that the creators with coprolalia are more popular to watch (and therefore be more recommended) because people find the swearing entertaining.
i totally agree, but a person i know has a swearing tic. i think they have autism as well, but they genuinely can’t help it. ive heard them say generic swear words, and once a slur but they really couldn’t help it, and apologised so much to me. i felt so bad
I actually don’t think it’s rare to have swearing tics, I’ve had Tourette’s for 3+ years and one of my tics is “fuck you” but it’s definitely not my most common tic nor do I think most of the curse words or slurs ppl claim to have as a big tic are true I just don’t think you should say it as fact as someone who researched it compared to those of us who live with it
Ugh it’s gross, I was diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago and ppl don’t believe me when I zone out bc “everyone zones out,” but like no-I mean I zone out I’m not there-and when I come back I have no idea when I moved (for ex: I zoned out in the kitchen one day and ended up in my bedroom unbeknownst on how I got there) but bc “I never shown signs of adhd as a child” no one believes me.
@@strawberryj3lly oh my god that must be awful to deal with non believers, and ikr it is disgusting that people fake disorders, like why would u even do that? what are u gaining from it?
@ashrmvrck true, it means that you're lying and disrespect people with disorders. Also, Pretending to be a type of people for this case people with disability is dehumanization.
I am very happy how even though anna is mad and doesn't really like what they are doing, she still goes out of her way to tell people about sensitive things and notifying on pronouns. amazing :)
