My son has Tourette Syndrome, with ticks much like Billie Eilish. Heās had them since he was six (heās twenty-one now). He was bullied occasionally, but his teachers and school administrators made a point of explaining the syndrome to his classmates. The majority of his schoolmates were not only understanding and kind about it, they were very defensive if anyone made fun of him. Good on Billie for bringing Tourette to the fore.

Sheās so brave talking about this. You donāt need noticeable symptoms to be diagnosed with something. Iām diagnosed with a learning disability because I have symptoms of loads, and yet people still think Iām lying when being diagnosed with a learning disability just means thereās way too many. I really feel grateful for her talking about this as you donāt need noticeable symptoms to have these things. A note to those screw if people thing youāre lying or not only you, some family and the doctors know you arenāt āŗļøāŗļøāŗļø

I have Tourette Syndrome as well and was diagnosed at 6 years old. It's incredibly empowering to see people like Billie bring awareness to this neurological condition, and how she didn't let it dictate her life. She's a true success story and given the massive stigma and utterly harmful representations of this disorder in entertainment and on social media in the past, it's time that true awareness is spread about Tourrette and its impact on the lives of those living with it.

This has literally been known since she first became famous. She spoke on how she suppresses her ticks in interviews and then ticks during off camera moments and whenever she can.
