[jeberts123]

Colin, Keep up the good work!! I saw you on Oprah a few years back! You continue to be the great kid I remember!! You are an awesome musician! Good luck with your music! Your kindergarten teacher, Mrs. E.

[anaapenas]

I love his sense of humor, such a nice guy and to top it all off he is pretty talent. I'm sure he won't need to use the glow stick backup plan lol.

[fcwsoccergirl]

you're hot

[ska8tor4ever]

he is so HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hymen1847]

where is the mouse girl

[icareful]

Perfect example of how people with Tourettes are "normal" in every other way. But who is really normal... everybody has problems and they are just hiding it better.

I do remember this kid on Oprah and his mother wanted him to be the poster boy for Tourettes. I think they like the attention, oh well. Why didn't the mother just cut his hair a long time ago?

[134009134009]

yeah man.

my brother has tourettes, and for his community and service project, he gave a 20 min presentation to every class in my whole school about tourettes and it was really awsome.

[fh1011]

wow he grew up, and hes hot now.

[FreeDumbOfLeech]

well at least we know he's not on meds

[lotsofcurlz36]

which 1 was he

[dorene4TS]

Colin was the one who "hated subsitutes"...

[CarolinexCunt]

I went to school with colin. he was one of the funniest guys i knew =] i miss him so much.

[ihtbtdhm]

Gonna go places? Ha! He's already been going! Been on Oprah already, in addition to the HBO thing.

[Sweetness303]

Not to mention CNN and MyFox Cleveland News.

[lipthing]

This kid is gonna go places. You heard it here first.

[ursouljagurl22]

hes really cool and smart i totally get wat hes saying

hes super sexxy tooo =]]]

[TickerTwiztedTales]

hey...could you guys add me?

I remember that show!

I am all music man...totally.

I wish people with Tourettes were more confident with it...i have Tourettes and Ive turned it into comedy. live with the fact that you have it, make the best out of it! don't dwell on it!

MEDICATION IS NOT THE CURE!!!

Ticker Twizted

Ticker Twizted

[khendlewilliams]

haha he's really cool. and cute.

[maxrox92]

o and i know that "you're" not colin...the person who put this video up...but...ya.  whatev. :P

[maxrox92]

omg dude!!! you play music. that's great! i watched the documentary first then found this...and ya know? i'm a musician and all...so it was super sweet that another thing outside of music i watch relates back to music i guess? :P

[imperfectlyperfect36]

lol. thats so funny! hes cute

[deathbycanon]

Collin, thank you so much for putting yourself out there. My little girl really accepted herself after watching the "I have tourette's..." documentary. Before that she didn't want to be different from everyone else - after seeing you kids doing many of the same things she does she now wants to be a TS youth ambassador. Thank you for being an inspiration. Keep rocking!

[navywife1977]

Great video, Colin is awsome! Best wishes to Colin! YA!

[Rachael4090]

he helped my parents soo much dealing with my tourettes and OCD. I hate subistues too btw lol.

[mocha4500]

colin, u are the man. It's david, I remember when i first met u and all the other Documentary kids it was so cool and u were o funny. good times, keep rocking man!

[jellybeans9999]

he's awesome:)

[UmLykeWOW09]

he's my friend on myspace :)

[mtallicuhh]

bands:

Helloween, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Protest the hero, the human abstract, born of osiris, Ozzy osbourne solo artist w/ randy rhodes & jakie lee, into eternity, 36 crazy fists.

really check them out dude, they are all good, later

[mtallicuhh]

haha i just remembered something stupid this kid said. HE goes, 'I hate substitutes" than he says they don't mesh, and he did his hands, trying to make them paralel, but they touched by accident. And i guess the director wanted to keep it organic, and let that one fly. And he says about the basket ball & CJ haha sounds racist. Yo Collin if ur reading this, I play guitar too, check out these guitarists & these bands.

Guitarist: Randy Rhodes, ERic Johnson, Jason Becker, michael angeleo bateo

[mtallicuhh]

is there any other follow ups with any of the other kids? I see this is that kid Collin, where are the other kids

[ihtbtdhm]

There are no other followups that I know of, although it would be great to catch up with all of them. It's safe to say they're all more or less regular teenagers now, and that the Tourette's is just a small part of who they are. A couple of the kids have expressed an interest in going on into entertainment, but most have sort of just melted back into the world as regular people ... which they are, except for being so smart and sophisticated, etc. :)

[mtallicuhh]

yeah, theres this one kid that I looked like when I watched that documentary, he was 10 though, I was 12. I want to see what he looks like now, dont remember his name. And the little chubby kid that would get bothered if he sees objects in the corner of his eye. Out of everyone I could identify with him the most. Almost every problem he had, I had same exact thing like the object thing. I think he only had OCD, cause they don't show him doing any tourrette like stuf. I have Severe OCD, thanksbro

[brabon]

i just saw the oprah show with colin in it (ya, im not an oprah viewer so i had to wait years till when it was posted on youtube) and i think that colin is so well adjusted thanks to his parents...his mom was beaming when she looked at him and called him the best advocate for the disorder

[necrid86]

I LOOOVE ROCK! Kick ass Colin!

[LaughingMan109]

wow hes gotten way good with those drums, ah, its something that he loves doing and he does it well

[Sweetness303]

Weather its being a comedian or a rock star colin will probably grow up to be in some form of entertainment.I mean look at him he was born to entertain.

[tayleragainstcity]

"wow, that sounds really really unplanned doesn't it?"

lmao what a great sense of humour he has

forget the glow stick backup plan,

he could deffinately be a comedian

[jkelly555555555555]

this is the kid in the older video who said tha he couldnt stop shaking his head right? and he had like a black hair boldcut

[ihtbtdhm]

Yeah, same guy. He changed a lot from age 11 to 15 huh?

[monk905]

Im at the TSA national meeting in D.C right now at this moment and Colin is here and I was hanging out with him, he is really cool.

[ihtbtdhm]

If you ask nicely, maybe Colin will play some Led Zeppelin for you on his gee-tar.

[HollymarkProductions]

Ya, me 2! I was in the youth ambassador training. colin is so funny!

[tsaohio]

5000 views! Dood, you're gonna be famous someday!

[sjinouck]

i also have tourette syndrome since i was 8 years old. Great respect for the young kids who appear in this vid. Tourette patients are often very good at the drums, so is also this colin. Colin, you roch dude!! Greetings from holland!!

[tsaohio]

There are autographed photos of Colin available on the TSA Ohio website for all you swooning girls. :)

[juliejealousy]

he's sooo amazing at drums.

the hair flippy thing is adorable as hell.

omggg what a gorgeous boy! :D

lololol he's hilarious too.

:] <3

[LuminolBlue]

"My mom wishes I had sever OCD, then this house would be cleaner than it is..." Hahahaha...

Well done, Colin, keep up the good work, bud.

-LB

[MyuuSasa]

He is really hott!

[bassmaster947]

hes fucking in sane!

[matteocappella]

If I was to have Tourettes I would want Air Guitaring and Headbanging to be my tick.

[ihtbtdhm]

There's a new TV feature with Colin in it. Do a search for Fox 8 Cleveland. It's on their site.

[hunterjumper11]

he is finee :]

[sierraandnat]

omg

hes hot as hell

aw and hes funny to

[williamgatesenson]

looks like he's doing alright. would be cool to see how the other kids in that documentary are doing now too

[kirisutootaku]

Colin, good to hear you're doing great!

The first time I heard about you was from a CNN interview. I wanted to say that you looked adorable on your home videos when you were a year old and six. I too shake my head, plus cough here and there at times. Hehe ^^

Anyways, keep on drummin'! :)

[THEFOFF]

Not a bad drummer too! Good on you mate!

[AnnaHaines11]

he is hottt he was the one that had 2 cousins that didnt get it but whatev HE IS SOO Extremly hott

[JaundiceJaun]

I'm not gonna lie... It's cool that he's a drummer and all, but he looks like a total fagbag. Emo hair can eat shit and die.

[matteocappella]

HAHAHAHAHA

[RELMIKELS73]

whatch i have touretts but touretts doesnt have me. and hear about jasper. shes the blond kid from 00:58 - 1:021 HES SOOO HOT!

[Sweetness303]

How do you know his name?

[ihtbtdhm]

Jasper was on Oprah. Sorry, no video of that!

[RELMIKELS73]

well...WERE CAN I FIND A CLIP OF THAT SHOW?!?!?!?

[ihtbtdhm]

Sorry, no Oprah clips available. There were riots in the streets after that show! :)

[RELMIKELS73]

why?!?!?!?!?!

[RELMIKELS73]

ihtbtdhm told me. i dont know how HE knew his name tho, anywyas, hes sooo hot!

[AnnaHaines11]

what o.d he said he has o d wat is it

[brabon]

od or ocd is obsesive compulsive disorder...many who have ts also have ocd and attention deficit disorder....ocd is the compulsion to do certain acts, such as counting, excessive washing of hands, etc...

[blahhh070]

it kinda looks like he's flipping his hair, so the tourettes to me is cammoflauged[sp?]. and he's like, really good looking.

[Oldwise123]

Automatic headbanging :O

Kick ass!

[RickaPalusz]

he is hot, but if he has a girlfriend i wonder if she gets annoyed when they try kissing and he keep shaking his head like that.

but he drums! ahhhhh i love drummers

(considering i am one) =]

[Rusty1989]

why did they pick such a comical interveiwers voice?

[ifuckinhateu]

still a faggot

[meekoseeko]

Aw I love him!

I wish there were more videos on him or something

[xoRebekahxo717]

He's so hot! Haha. Does anyone know if he has a myspace?

[Chinnyboy91]

I feel bad for peopel with tourettes...and I wish there was a cure, but i still think its really funny when ppl pretend to have tourettes and cuse and stuff. None of those kids had a cursing tick so i guess its ok.

[IDoog]

he is probobly going to be a rock star

[IDoog]

doesnt he get dissy

[RELMIKELS73]

COOL!!

[blondebandgeek88]

Even though I know what tourette's is it is still hard to imagine having to live like that. I wish for the best for anyone who has tourette's.

[ihtbtdhm]

Yeah, this kid has such a great sense of humor and oozes charm. Once he gets through school (and he should), there will be absolutely no stopping him.

[DONTBITEMEH]

He is so amazing.

I'd totally date him. (=

Haha, he's adorable, intelligent, & a sweetheart!

Go Colin, I admire yooou!! :)

~chels.

[caligirlchris]

aww his hair is perfect for tourrettes ;] keep hair flipping collin!

[napalmholiday]

"I don't have big issues with O.D.ing" haha

[people97]

It's nice to see videos like this instead of that "tourettes guy" trash. These are the REAL people that we need to see that have tourettes.

[rangerslover16]

wait hes really hot....

hes really great looking with a GREAT personality

who cares if he is he has tourettes any person would be lucky to know a guy as great as Colin

[fredo69]

WOO! POKEMON!

[BabaeLou]

animal is my favorite drummer with tourette's.

[revorider1194]

jeez that kid is amazing

he is doing great frm the vid

[Chellarella]

Thank you for posting this video, my son has Tourette's and is 13 now and is heavily into music! It has helped him so much and he has such a talent for it. Thanks for sharing.

[thekrabmaster]

This just proves that people with Tourettes can do great things in life. I have Tourettes and I have achieved many brilliant things. Colin, you are a role model for kids with Tourettes Syndrome as I hope I will be as well. Go drums! ;)

[twitchyjeff]

Aww, it's great that he's doing okay.

I'd love to see catching-up vids of some of the other kids from the documentary too :)

[booradshane]

this is so possitive and hes so genuinely funny. rock on collin!!

[Abercrombieg1rl8]

its great to see he's doing so well. and honestly, i think the head shaking thing is so cute with his hair.

[Sweetness303]

Colin is a good looking guy. He also has a bright personality.

[xchristinex3]

Aww haha.

He's really attractive,

it's nice that he can joke around about it

and lighten things up.

He's really funny too.

"It's prolly nt gonna work, but I'll try it!"

haha.

=]

[ImCalifornia]

cute =)

[junkeemonkee]

WOW Colin has grown and is a very nice looking guy!! Plays the drums quite well too!!! Keeping you in our thoughts Colin.

[loverrgirl07]

i watched- i have touretts but touretts doesnt have me- it made me teary eyed!

[brabon]

omg...he has really grown up

amazing

[ihtbtdhm]

I love how he integrates the headshaking tic with the drumming. Reminds me of Ringo! And this kid has such a great sense of humor. TS sure doesn't have him. (Dumb title, great documentary.)

[kellyk40]

It's always great to catch up with Colin. You are correct in saying that people with TS do well with music. William and Reese also do very well when it comes to music. William plays the drums and Reese is into the electric guitar:)
