Today, I was asked by a total stranger if I had Tourettes. This is the third time this has happened to me. FML

While that is quite rude and offensive, I can't help but think you had to have been doing something to make them think you have Tourettes..

5, you are totally right, but that's what a lot of people think, so if they ask them about it, it's probably because of foul language.

I'm not trying to prove anybody right or wrong, but Tourette's syndrome causes it's victims to be unable to control their actions. Tourettes Guy on YouTube is affected in a way that causes him not to be able to control what he says, and that is the most commonly known effect of the syndrome.

It's the most common known, but it's the least common form found. I would know since I have Tourette's

While you may be right (hell you probably are) just having it doesn't qualify that you know everything about it. Like when you get sick it doesn't mean you automatically know everything about your illness. Not saying you're wrong bc I don't know if your right or not though.

#54 Your comment was pointless; and he's right. It's the most common known and least common found. I have tourettes as well and most people have no clue what it actually is. It's involuntary "tics" that we must do, otherwise it leaves us feeling extremely uncomfortable.

My comment wasn't about whether his was right or wrong. It was about his qualifying his information. He said most people experience Tourette's this way simply bc that's the way he experiences it. That's not valid logic. I never said he was wrong though. It's like saying that because you sleep at night you automatically know everything about sleeping and what the body does while asleep. Please read more thoroughly.

#67 That sounds an awful lot like OCD. OCD involves compulsions that cause extreme anxiety if not fulfilled. What's the difference between Tourette's and OCD? I'm honestly curious.

It's not like chicken pox dummy. It doesn't just come and go.

Don't flatter yourself. Your use of quotation marks suggests you got it from somewhere. English is weird.

Well its a comment. Its IMPLIED that its something your saying so theres no real use for QUOTATION marks unless your using a quote.

The quotation marks imply it's spoken without tediously saying "OP, this would have been funny to say, hurr durr". Not my fault people don't have a grasp on the English language. Proper usage of quotations or not, contextually, it should have been enough.

all of dB you are wrong number 3 is right because he's saying it as a person with tourettes

#48 - Thank you for explaining it, but apparently popular opinion trumps logic.

Are you perhaps doing something to provoke that question...? Realise the problem, acquire a solution

Yeah, considering it had happened more then once, and assumedly by different people, OP must be doing something to make people think that. It's a pattern!

Do you cuss a lot OP? If so that's probably why.

Wow. I would love to know what you do for a living, with Tourette's verbal or tic symptoms.
