I’ve met a couple of people with tourettes, but none of them swore, just siezed up or did a loud scream. How usual is it for people with tourettes to swear instead of the non-verbal kind?
I’m pretty sure the T-shirt is an offensive stereotype.
Check the com you’re in: That is kind of what this place centers around.
She could have tourettes herself
That’s what I figure.
yup
I have tourettes and laughed at the shirt. Not everything requires pearl clutching. It’s a stereotype that was made popular from South Park and then again in Deuce Bigalow. I also laughed at both of those examples when I watched them.
South Park actually did a great job showing that tourettes isn’t just shouting curse words.
That might be the last time anyone laughed at a Rob Schneider movie.
But certainly not the last time anyone will laugh at Rob Schneider.
Coprolalia is an occasional characteristic of tic disorders, in particular Tourette syndrome, although it is not required for a diagnosis of Tourette’s and only about 10% of Tourette’s patients exhibit coprolalia.
I love that the term for it is basically shit talking
looks it up
And here I thought you were being fecetious.
Ikr? I love little things like that, where you now know whatever person coined the term knew exactly what they were doing
The person you responded to knew exactly what they were dooing.
Fuck me. I totally missed it.
Now what am I supposed to do do?
You could always do do do do da dat.
I’ve met several people with tourettes and when I asked them at the start the ticks wasn’t swearing. But after they had a dream of seeing a wall of dicks or a dick-themed dream in general, the swearing started. I’ve asked several people, but the sample size is still countable by fingers.
I just think that’s a weird coincidence.
Most of the people I’ve known had some sort of facial tic or noise.
How usual is the swearing type of tourettes? Fairly rare. Most of us just squeek, grunt, and have minor muscle spasms.
Without cannabis, I turn into a squeaky mother fucker lol
Thank you, I kinda expected that. However, I understand why the swearing variant is much more visible in our society.
Rather minor, I gather - but it’s the easier one to fixate on and joke about
Apparently a lot of people with tourettes can hold it in, to some extent. It’s like holding in a sneeze, however. The longer you hold it, the worse the itch becomes. Eventually it’s coming out, and generally worse the longer it was constrained for.
Yeah it’s like not blinking. Some tics are easier to suppress though.
It’s not Mickey Mouse it’s just TIT DIRT
