  • daaam dude at the end is just like me. even the tracing my letters part..trippy shit

  • who gave this a thumbs down? there's always one guy...

    ... horseback-riding, playing an instrument, surfing, sex, etc.

    Isn't it interesting that typically Tourettes ticks fade like snow before the sun when they engage in a stimulating, nourishing activity?

  • (7)

    And again, what this guy says about his head jerking in all directions while reading at school is perfectly intelligible using this perspective: WHAT KID wants to read what they are taught in school? It's all dead, boring, lies, indoctrination.

    So the Tourettes subconscious says: 'I'm not interested in this crap!'

    I doubt if the guy's head would jerk if he did something he REALLY wanted to do:...

    Note they are saying PRECISELY what one is not allowed to say, and their tics often seem farcical and HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE, as if they're actually CHALLENGING the rigid corset of socialized patterns of functioning...

  • (5) Interestingly, conform with this simple psychological approach, when people end up accepting their Tourettes, it becomes quite manageable and the symptoms far less severe.

    In an unbalanced world of massive psychological denial and repression, perhaps a deep part within the Tourettes at some level refuses this self-mutilation. Obviously, since society refuses to acknowledge all these contents, they're bound to come out in a very 'unsocialized', bizarre way in a Tourettes...

    ... sick an often insane cheptel is their game. They're not interested in understanding the human mind, or even in a healthy, vigorous, THINKING population.

    Countless contents and potentials are sitting in the subconscious of the 'normal', socialized individual, repressed or unacknowledged, undeveloped... These contents ultimately degenerate, and demonize.

    Could it be that Tourettes is about those contents REFUSING to be KILLED and denied, and actually managing to impose themselves?

  • (3)

    However, the ego is but a complex, lacking an absolute reference frame. It is an artificial engineered structure, an adaptation to SOCIETY, NOT the natural environment . In reality, socialization imposes people to repress 99% of their humanity, and at a very high price.

    Of course, science, psychiatry, the med establishment are not too interested in these realities. Developing meds and 'treating' an increasingly dulled down,...

    It seems to me Tourettes may very well be about subconscious contents (or even an entity?), erupting into consciousness and taking over control for short bursts of time...

    What is the 'normal' standard, 'sanity'?

    'Normal people' have been 100% potty trained into automated, pavlovian, deluded ego-functioning, identifying with the ego and seeing it as the seat of consciousness and self.

  • Yeah, people are always so relieved when they can put a label on what's going on, but what is really the use of such labels when science doesn't understand such things? It doesn't understand Tourettes, autism, schizophrenia, homosexuality, etc. People completely overestimate science & the med system.

    I would urge people with Tourettes to think twice before they take all those useless, lobotomizing, toxic poison pills the system would like to see them ingest.

  • i dont know whether or not mine are consider tourettes but i do tends to blink my eyes alot and move roll them up alot.

  • whoever the one person who didnt like, screw you. my heart goes out to people with tourettes, <3

  • ive got tourettes! this is cool

  • I'm happy you're doing better, thank you for the onfo, greate video. God bless!

  • did you interview all of these people? how did you get all this footage?

  • Yeup, I interviewed all of them!!

    It took a while, because I did some of it through internet. adn then they sent me their part.

    But the people i interviewed in person were Katie Price, me and my teacher..

    I know Kayley from camp but she lives in another state. and i don't know brian in person, but it feels like it!!

    :)

  • w00t! Brian's in this!

  • GREAT job, to you and everyone who was involved in making this documentary. you defiantly NAILED IT.

    great job! its amazing!

  • thank you!!!

  • @IsThisTourettes --- this is better than the last one i saw lol. great job.

  • Well worth the wait, Alex (Can I call ya that?)! My 7 year old nephew was just diagnosed with TS just days after I came across your videos and became a subscriber. Fate?

    I told his mother about you and Camp Twitch & Shout. 5 Stars once again! You're a true inspiration to people of all ages.

  • Thanks so much!! By the way, your nephew should def. go to camp twitch and shout!! applications should be ready by february!!

  • Can ya PM me details about the camp, etc? Web site? etc I hope that's not asking too much of you. It's all so brand new for him, his family, all of us.

  • GREAT job on the video Alex!! :D I loved it!!! And good job with your part in this video Brian!! :D

  • Great stuff!! i'm overwhelmed with everything u've done so far, the dedication, effort and passion on everything ur doing for the TS community is great.

    .. by the way i like during the intro how it says "starring"... coz that's what every person that participated in this is.. a star

  • Thanks sooo much!!!

  • Ali, you could not possibly have given the TS community a great thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Thank you, thank you. Thank you for being who you are! I, for one, am thankful beyond belief to know you.

  • :)

    thanks brian!! thankful for you too!! and everyone else out there who is awesome!! haha (which is everyonei know..and many many more i don't!!)

  • I love your intro. Especially when you mention the OCD factor. TS+OCD+sensory disorder+(other disorders) makes it even harder than "pure TS".

    Cool touch with the survey-type thing. Brian did really well! He's a great speaker. : )

    Great documentary, Alex!

  • Thank you! I really appreciate the compliment. That means a lot, because I've had to work hard to speak clearly and with conviction. TS has a tendency to make communication difficult for many of us. I know your tics are bad, but hang in there. It does get easier. And if for some reason it doesn't, just remember that those of us with TS wish you all the best. Let me know if there's ever anything I can do.

  • Thanks kayley!!!
