When I see someone who has tics, I think about how cool it is that I'm not the only person who has them.
I kind of do too. It just reminds me that I'm not alone.

As someone with Tourette's, I'd rather that people not go looking for me, tyvm. It's bad enough as it is.
I know how you feel because this is how I feel about my tics every day. People stare and I was given the name "Twitchy" by my brother and classmates. I guess I shouldn't, but I also don't want them to feel alone either.
