1 of the Hard Parts of Tourette Syndrome (as a Teen W/it) Is Posted: 11-04-06 11:13am
Beign picked on. In movies,. And more
recently "tourettes guy" videos, ts people
are picked on. Whille "tourettes guy"
videos says that they way they talk about
people with ts isnt the real way ts is, I
am still offended by it, considering my
tics and pain caused by my tics!
Im not trying to make my ts sound deadly
or life-thretning, but it isnt easy to
live with
I hear ya man. As a father of a 7 yr, old
w/ tourettes and having it myself, it can
be a little discerning to hear people say,
"oh your son has tourettes, thats that
cussing thing right?". Most of the time
you just have to laugh at it. I can't
expect people to understand it. Even when
people do know about it, they are still
very stereotypical. Oh well. Kind of
like "all men/women are the same". Every
case is unique and people are just
uninformed. Good luck in your fight. Try
to laugh as much as possible. Feels
better than crying!
