i have tics, recognized by my doctors. we believe they are anxiety tics because when im anxious they explode, I've been dealing with it since 2021
it can be funny sometimes, some people find it cute like my mom and boyfriend and thats quite nice, because most times it is really embarrassing and tiring.
no, I do not think its quirky and cute to be yelling nonsense stuff and gross words and attract the attention of strangers. people don't praise us who have tics, they actually get scared. i miss my life before when I could choose to stay quiet and BE quiet.
update: im totally sure my tic things are emotional thank godddd. i have very few now. i started eating better and exercising, been learning to be more disciplined and i dealed with lot of situations that were giving me so much anxiety. the unvoluntary jerking still happens but im much better and less vocal.

I technically meet the diagnostic criteria since I have multiple movement and vocal tics, and it developed before I was 18. Thing is I started getting noticeable tics when I was 17 and I've done a bunch of research and that is rare. And yes I'm 19 now so its been longer than a year. Idk about getting a diagnosis. I want one but I feel like doctors will just brush it off as my autism or anxiety

I developed tics late, but I meet all the criteria for Tourette's except the age. (We don't know if I had any tics before that were so infrequent they went unnoticed.) I'm diagnosed with functional tics. I pretty much present exactly the same way as someone with Tourette's, and because a lot of people don't actually know about other tic disorders, if I have to explain it I sometimes just say it's "similar to Tourette's".
According to my neurologist, there's a bit of an epidemic of young AFAB people with ADHD who are suddenly developing functional tics.

Something that I worry about is that I'm 19 almost 20 and never once brought up tics during a doctor's visit. So I'm worried that a doctor would not believe me.
A little context, I have been having both motor and vocal tics for a while. My tics didn't start become worse or noticeable until I was 15.
I had a few tics for example I had a quiet high pitch squeak tic that would happen every few days. This did not affect me very much hence why I never brought it up, because it wasn't something I thought I should bring up.
But my tics started getting worse and worse then a few months later covid happened so I didn't visit any doctors (I also normally only saw a doctor every 2-3 year). Now I do not have health insurance atm (I'm american ;-;).
So idk what to do since I don't have any notes from a doctor nor "proof" that I've been having tics for years.
I don't want to go to the doctors (and spend a shit ton of money) just for them to not believe me or think I'm doing it for attention :/

I started suffering my ticks when I was in grade school. Pepole said I was faking them. I was super stressed out and quite depress. I finally spoke to my home doctor, and she ended up getting me diagnosed. All of my ticks are physical, and just recently, i was speaking with someone about them. And they said that ticks are always repeated movements. And I was about to disagree when it occurred to me that they are. I just have so many that they feel random. My head might shake, the inside of my stomach might convulse, my arm might go flying, my legs might twitch. Always the same places over and over again wherever they might be. I found it quite interesting how many people told me I had Tourettes syndrome when I didn't.

I have ADHD tics, for me they are only motor unless a gasp or grunt counts as verbal tho I personally don’t include since they are not that often, I usually tic by my head shoving to the side or forcing it up which hurts, sometimes it happens to my hands which tenses any other thing doesn’t happen too often. I haven’t told people at school about my tics because they aren’t to frequent (on certain days) but I have gotten weird looks before😅
