it hurts to see people go through this and then there are other individuals out there who has never experienced such a thing hate's life because they are spoilt n dont always get exactly what they want or the ones that bully people with this disability (n the other countless disabilities) because they are insensitive n dont care or know what people like her go through on a daily basis, i really wish that one day she (n other people in the world suffering from this n other disabilities ) could get up one day n be completely find but then again thats not how the world work but i do hope people suffering from Tourette can manage it better and people learn to not be so insensitive n self centered towards people of special needs

I-m a 54 year old female in the U. S. and have Tourette-s. You are inspiring and wonderful. I wish I was as comfortable on camera as you are! I avoid it to this day. Keep doing what you are doing and being who you are. Your insights are spot on and so important to hear, for people with TS and without, even those of us with it at my age. I-m sure you hear this a lot, but you ARE truly amazing. And it-s all you. Good for you, keep up the fantastic work you do! -

I don't necessarily think people are staring at you because they are judging you. There are people that are uneducated of ticks. I work in a classroom with students that have their ticks and now am used to the sound. I think nothing of it. Like your classroom. Try and understand when something different happens it's not always judgement rather than a genuine inquisition of what is going on.

I find it interesting that most tics seem to be purposefully distracting or provocative in some way. Almost never just a sort of neutral thing to say, and the noises are good and loud to get others attention. Now, Im not at all saying its fake, just curious why the tics cant sometimes be just a nice compliment? Or a quiet hum?

I know she said that her meds cause her face 2 swell, but I can't help wanting to pinch those cute cheeks! Such a cootie pie! The way she commented on losing her vision as a plus so that she doesn't make outbursts about what she can't see was tickling. Great attitude & sense of humor.

I have Tourette-s and suppressed it when i moved into my new house. I made a neighbour aware I had it. She tried to say I was faking it for disability benefits. Who would do that! Tourette-s is debilitating. It-s disgusting that there-s ignorant people like this in the world.

Go girl you-re awesome! I am blind and I don-t have Tourette-s. But I have very painful debilitating chronic headaches that never stop hurting. So I-ve had to adapt to my life a ton! You are showing me that it-s OK to keep going and not give up. You-re awesome--

She is so adorable and brave. I'm sorry it is painful for her. It's sounds strange but I like the sounds she makes. Certain sounds help me with my anxiety and can honestly listen to her all day but for her sake I do wish the could find a cure some day.

Have you ever tried to pretend you have a tick like blinking one eye? After a while you feel like doing that again. it is terrible. everyone has mild ticks. have you ever noticed your own mild ticks? Having tourette's must be pretty difficult

one of my friends has tics, and he thinks he may have tourette's (he's not diagnosed though). i know he's really insecure about it so i feel so bad for him, especially because one of our ex friends tends to take advantage of it.

My son is 12, and he has a tick actually it's a noise he makes with his mouth that hes had for a year, he has an appointment w/a neurologist but not until March, I'm scared what the outcome is. But these videos give me hope

I'm so sorry that she's losing her eyesight. My eyes get worse and worse every year. I need to get updated prescriptions twice a year and I can't imagine being blind or knowing that you're losing your eyesight.

One of my friends has tourettes. They-re pretty nervous about it but things are getting better on the emotional side, despite their symptoms getting more extreme.

Your tics look a lot like my compulsions. I have OCD and i have tics when I am stressed out. I wonder if Tourettes is a form of OCD on steroids?

I honestly think the whistle with the little lip noise is adorable. I'm not being sarcastic either. DEAD serious! You're beautiful.

I have tics from a different neurological condition called FND, and I wish there wasn't such a stigma around tics/tic disorders

So what happens to other children that are easily distracted in school? I know for me that would be a problem.
