What if you couldn't control your body? What if people stared at you out in public? This is the reality for people with tourette's. Please don't judge or make fun of people with this disorder. Alot of you may think it's about swearing, but it really has nothing to do with that.

Hope you like the video! If you have any questions about tourette's, just message me or leave a comment :)

  • great video.. I wish this syndrome will be more aware so people and especially kids could understand it.

  • @InvertedHorizon I have TS and I don't wish it upon anyone, its a terrible disorder that in some cases children get injured from their tics. But its pricks like you who will get there's one day. I pray to God that you don't reproduce. Educate yourself.

  • @IsThisTourettes Hi i am greg from the documentary i swear i cant help it. These clips are from when i was 8, i am now 18. its a very powerful message and thankyou for watching it.

  • This was sad for me to just watch ... I can't imagine how they feel ...

  • just to say everything tht is wrong with me i think there is something terribly wrong O_O I WOULD BE TERRIFIED DX

  • to make light of this problem that many children and adults face, at least they seem to be better dancers than myself.

  • @invertedhorozon really dude?

  • Having TS for 50+ years, I couldn't agree more with the comments in the video--especially that everyone's TS symptoms are unique to them. My youngest was the unlucky one who inherited my TS. I know well how devastating it is to deal with a loved one suffering from TS, especially since I was responsible for her pain. The major part not covered are the many other issues. TS is a spectrum disorder, encompassing OCD and bi-polar like behavior as well.

    Thanks for a very good and honest post.

  • @invertedhorizon hey I'm not curse at you. Or call you names cause I'm better than that. This isn't funny at all. Those little kids struggle everyday. They get teased they picked on. They manipulated. I know that because I'm one of them. Its people like you is why people with this disorder don't want to go to school and don't want to go out. acceptance is everything to everyone. Do you know how hard it is for me just to brush my teeth. It takes me about a half hour because I can't stop moving.

  • @InvertedHorizon y not u go get a fucking life and stop pickind on some random kid with fucking tourettes u little fucking prick. and another thing, dont ever EVER luagh at people with tourettes! they can't fucking help there tics! But it's pricks like u that have no life, always would be a virgin, never get a date, or even be good at anything! u just pick on people with tourettes cause u have a sucky little gay life! SO GET A FUCKING LIFE!!!!!

  • @asuperfly100 k maybe I will let me skin you and wear your flesh
