  • i think those people who always make fun of this condition will just be able to understand this if they'll catch this. .

    so please. . just shut ur self or just dont mind such things that annoy u as well as this vid. .

  • The 34 people that disliked liked this video are ignorant.

  • It didn't fit in my last comment but I also wanted to say, anyone else struggling with this frustrating condition, hang in there. It does get better. Find an activity you really enjoy and take part in that, concentrating like that really helps too. :)

  • I'm 20 now and have dealt with Tourettes for years now. Over the years it's calmed down a bit thanks to medication and having outlets like drawing. Most people don't even notice unless I'm very stressed out (I don't have coprolalia). I wish I had seen this when I began struggling with it. I remember sitting in class and finding myself sniffing uncontrollably. A guy in my class said "Omg you're disgusting, get a tissue!" and began to laugh. I knew I couldn't control it but didn't know why.

  • @Wentfradump LRN HW TO SPLL DMBASS

  • THAT AFRICAN KID SPAZZING OUT AT BEGINING IS TO FUNY. HE EAT TO MUCH SUGER
