Girl with Real Tourettes Reacts to Fake Tourettes on Tiktok | TicsandRoses Edition: PART 2

- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- In today's video I address more about how to tell if someone is faking tourettes. A lot of people on TikTok have faked tourettes and it's been really harmful to the community, so I address people like ticsandroses and let viewers know some key signs in how to tell if someone is faking. This video is part 2 of reacting to ticsandroses and their faking of tourettes on tiktok.
Check out part one here: • Girl with Real Tourett...
As a girl with Tourette's, I would love to spread awareness and education about my disorder, as I feel it is quite misunderstood in today's society. The media has made it out to be a swearing disorder only, which is far from true. I hope this video will educate you on Tourette Syndrome and tic disorders! Life with Tourettes can be difficult, but just know that we're the same as everyone else...except for the fact we tic like clocks! (:
Thanks for watching!

its easy to see who is faking just because people with actual tics dont draw attention to their tics mid conversation, she just continues her conversation. not every single little tic needs to be highlighted and giggled about. I have a sibling that fakes disorders and I so appreciate you exposing people like this.
How is your sibling getting away with faking disorders
@@vishnuprasad3041 they do it when they feel the person wont call them out on it. or when its convenient for them. my family is in denial and don't like talking about it. but they have agreed with me in the past. I think it's an attention thing.
ehh just because in this particular case it is pretty clear, doesn't mean it is easy to tell. As even the creator of the video mentions, fake-claiming is a big problem and you can't easily tell if someone is faking unless it is extremely obvious. I'm not saying that there aren't ways to tell but I'm just saying to be careful about saying stuff like "it is easy to tell" or "this one attribute means fake" when disorders effect people in all kinds of different ways.
@@emubeepboop oh yeah I agree, I just feel like once you've had tics for so long you'd get used to it and stop drawing attention to every single tic like ticsandroses does. every little tic needs attention or laughed about. its one of the first things I noticed when I fell into this rabbit hole. they want to make sure everyone is aware of every tic they have- making a spectacle of themselves for ass pats. with her its so easy to tell she's faking, I wouldn't fake claim a person unless they were being extremely sus, like miss roses here.
@@peppei666 Alright, thanks for the clarification there!
Her “ugh” tic when she explained she was gonna be talking about tiktokers who fake tics was so well timed and was so on point🤣
Ikr i was gonna say this. Tbh i’m new to this channel and i genuinely though it was a reaction to badly faked tics.
I’m laughing so hard about it, I feel bad because she can’t control it. But in context to what she is reacting to makes it funny.
Her tics speak what we think hehe
@@YaeGalvus is that so?
Yes, exactly! This tic is so on point everytime she talks about ticsandroses or any other ppl who fake having Tourette's. Not to mention when she talks about how having Tourette's sucks.
"tics aren't Pokémon" k, I loved you even more immediately after you said that!!! 🖤🖤🖤
“I mean, you can …” LOL 😂 😂 😂
Me too haha I love her so much. I want to be her friend ❤️
I was literally coming down to the comments to talk about that but you’ve beat me to it 😭💜
I really wouldn't mind if someone would fake something just to show a situation, or something like that, but explain that he/she is faking it for the purpose of the video.
But faking it for money and fame, it's just horrible... But I could even forgive that, if they wouldn't completely misrepresenting the disorder!!
Making something that is really a difficult disorder to live with, as having a good time and being funny... There are no words that could explain how horrible it is.
The way i started reading your comment and she said that 👁👄👁
As a teenage girl who was recently diagnosed with Tourette’s (bear in mind that most of these fakers are, in fact, teenage girls), it makes me feel ashamed in a way for my condition, because I don’t want to be lumped in with those people. Anyone else feel the same way?
Please don’t feel ashamed! There is a major difference, you are living with a real diagnosis and fakers are lying. Lying always leads to either exposure or miserable lifestyle. Just live your truthful life and never be ashamed of things you can’t control, trust me, people won’t judge or think you are a faker :)
@@marmurkota9033 thanks, I appreciate it
i don't have tourette's, i have anxiety tics (to my current understanding), but i totally feel you. my tics worsen with stress and anxiety, so they're not always very active. i'm also a teen girl, just like most of the people faking sh!t and acting like it's funny. 😬 i am terrified of someone claiming i'm faking tourette's and lumping me in with those horrible people, especially since my case is not severe and many people are misinformed. tiktok disorder fakers just love to hurt and stigmatize people with the real forms of these conditions.
@@marmurkota9033 absolutely
I'm sorry people are doing this. You are valid! God bless 💓
I went to high school with someone who has Tourettes, her ticc was a very shrill yell (if she had others, I didn't notice or see them). Every time she would ticc, my group would say something like "bless you" to try and make her feel less weird about it.
I know the theme of the video is tourette's isn't cute, but that's pretty cute
I hope it made her feel better
@@DaNewWrksOfMehi think its okay to call this cute, because its not calling Tourettes itself cute, it’s calling the supportive nature of those other people cute.
That’s nice of them. Hope it made her feel better
That’s a really cool idea to say bless you. Aww
I know they are uncomfortable for you, and you can't help it. But the timing of the eyeroll "urgh" tic in this video, was absolutely priceless.
I'm so sorry that people are out there making it harder for people like you, with actual tics and tourettes to be believed and understood. It's definently not OK for anyone to pretend to have an ilness or disorder, no matter what it is.
i know! her tic is a cringe and that's based lmao
@The Beelzeboss are you?
@@theshockinglyeloquentdog9945 dude what.
@@theshockinglyeloquentdog9945 wow, you're shit. Congrats
@@theshockinglyeloquentdog9945 Edgy
There was a time in the early 2010s when romanticising, depression, and other melancholy mental disorders were very popular. I'm not surprised that this is happening now. It made them feel special. So here we are.
Omg I remember that! I have a chronic depression disorder called dysthemia, and several of my close friends has suffered severe depression through the years aswell. And it was the absolute worse to see how everyone was suddenly "depressed", when they really weren't! It resulted in a lot of people having a hard time being taken seriously when talking about having actual depression, because if was made small of! Same with anxiety. Suddenly everyone had anxiety, and used it in all seriousness in context where they were simply nervous or just worried. There's a huuuge difference in being nervous and having anxiety!
(TW - SH)
In my small town, we had a huge surge of romanticizing depression when I was in middle school (around 2007-2008). Coincidentally that was around the time when I first *attempted*, and got caught SHing. Afterwards, people tried to say I was faking it (because of the surge) which made everything even worse. I was bullied… for wanting to end my life? All because people around me had been faking it for attention.
As an adult, I have a diagnosis of chronic MDD, and will likely have to be on meds for it for the rest of my life. Yet, I still think about how traumatizing it was to not be believed as a child, BECAUSE of the other people faking it.
@@suey-suitu fuck man I know exactly how you feel . I had a “friend” in high school who faked depression and anxiety and would POST THEIR FORCED SH WITH FILTERS ONLINE. It was so infuriating because it was so damaging. I didn’t want to tell anyone about my severe depressive disorder , GAD, or panic disorder out of FEAR of being told I’m faking or don’t have a “real enough version” of it . It just makes me so angry .
I really don't get it. People like to fake those stuff, they will definitely NOT want to have it. So why faking it? And there's nothing romantic about it. Sometimes, I lose faith in humanity
...
I think it's evolved from romanticizing depression to romanticizing anxiety. I am clinically diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) with a bit more emphasis on Social Anxiety and PTSD. I have literally cried in public because I felt like everyone was watching me pay for a video game I was buying (poor cashier was so confused but so polite).
Then I hear all these people who are like "omg, my anxiety, so quirky and making me so awkward." Anxiety is not fun to have, it's a constant struggle. For me, personally, I get so anxious on asking how to answer the question to the point where I do finally figure it out, I just chicken out because "I'll be bothering them" or "they'll hate me for asking". I also have low self esteem and body dysphoria to the point I genuinely don't think I pretty. I don't accept compliments and I apologize for not accepting them because my anxiety twists my head to think "you not accepting compliments is you fishing for more."
People like the attention they get from faking these disorders, not the actual disorders. They want the attention but don't care about how much it actually hurts to live with.
As a pediatric pharmacist, it upsets me that we are still using atypical antipsychotics in hopes of managing neurological disorders, like Tourette’s, and it’s because we simply don’t have a better alternative!
Neurological disorders, as well as seizure disorders, are MASSIVELY understudied and underfunded, and that needs to change!!
im about to have clonidine for my tourette hopefully it works
From a research standpoint, i wouldn't necessarily call it understudied, more like it's so complex that it's hard to find the mechanism and much harder to find a cure, and it just takes a lot to get useful results because of that complexity. Granted I only have a small experience in research in neurodegenerative diseases (Huntingtons) but the fact that the research of one faulty protein or just the effects of one molecule etc can take years and years of research is what makes things hard. IMO. I also noticed though that research in the field is on the rise, possibly because the development of technology makes it possible to do so. I'm not a researcher though (yet, but that's my goal), so it's just what I observed.
My tics actually came from psych meds & epilepsy meds! It's permanent! Even after stopping those meds, the tics stayed and it really depends on the day for me. When my tics are awful, it comes with a whole host of neurological symptoms. For instance, I will panic and think I lost something over and over and over, on a loop. It's not just tics and quirky little noises. It's very challenging to have neurological problems. It isn't fun. my saving grace is my boyfriend who sees what's happening and just stays calm. He waits until I realize I'm on the loop. He doesn't yell or get frustrated. He just helps me through it and that's everything to me. A support system is just as integral as those medications.
@@liz090833 I feel ya. I developed tics after being put on escitalopram. It was awful, annoying, embarrassing, and painful. Luckily I was taken off the meds before it became permanent.
I have enough neurological issues to be getting on with. Lol.
As someone with Multiple Sclerosis, hearing "Neurological disorders, as well as seizure disorders, are MASSIVELY understudied and underfunded, and that needs to change!!" is music to my ears. There isn't enough awareness, research or funding near at all. Sadly, not many know even what the disorders are or much about them, or even how they greatly impact those who suffer from them.
people who fake tourette's always have tics that are "cute" or funny, they're never unattractive or embarrassing tics
Truly. And they always laugh after a tic like it’s a fun enjoyable thing..
@@cherry_OzThey think not having an arm is an enjoyable thing.
It must hurt her poor neck to have those repetitive ticks. I honestly don’t understand why someone would want to fake Tourette’s or any other condition. Don’t they realise the challenges that come with having to deal with this constantly in everyday life? Well, obviously they don’t, but it seems obvious. They’re making people with Tourette’s look like they’re choosing to behave outside of social norms, it’s very unfair.
i have a similar thing and it hurts so bad 😭
Something I’ve noticed with ticsandroses is that the tics are “severe” like you said, but the consequences never are. Like, they supposedly have a tic that causes them to dip their hair in a pan of hot food, but *just* the ends of it. Or the one where they were throwing things but it was always to someone who could catch it or it was something that wouldn’t break. The makeup “Simba” thing is easily cleaned up. Their vocal tics were consciously quieter in public (not like they’re suppressing them, but like they don’t want to embarrass themself).
It’s just wild to me that someone could have such a variety of complex, debilitating tics and the worst thing that happens is they need a little extra makeup remover. 🙄
Thank you for your videos!! 💓💓
Edit: fixed pronouns to they/them!
💯
Also just the fact that not only are there never any real consequences, she always acts as though she knows there won't be any. Like, she'll literally be having the most debilitating tics and then she just grabs a kitchen knife with no fear whatsoever. She literally almost smashed her head into a a hot frying pan and she's just like oopsies, funny tic. If it were me, having sauce in my hair would be the least of my worries at that point.
Exactly, I have heard someone with tourettes commenting on this hot pan moment, she said if her ticks were so severe, she won't cook and would wait instead. Also, some people with tourettes can't drive, wasn't Emerald's case supposed to be "severe" enough to cause her losing her driving license?
This is true you can’t time tics that precisely they are random and unpredictable and I learned a lot about them thanks to this channel
completely agree, but ticsandroses actually uses they/them pronouns :)
I have so much respect for you just based on the fact that you take people who literally trigger you and turn it into a way to educate others. That takes a really strong person to do and I think it’s really amazing.
Thank you so much 💜
you can Literally SEE that it’s triggering her tics to talk ab this. Makes me even more angry that they had to make this in the first place bc of that. I don’t have tics bt I have medical problems Up the ass too and honestly I’d be pissed if someone was using something I struggle with for Views. It’s gross
@@boop6169 literally people like that are so obsessed with clout they'll imitate a serious condition that messes with peoples lives. it's disgusting
@@buggy-boy it’s gross but I’m glad that people are able to speak out against them
Agreed
Sweety don’t ever feel bad about not be able to control it for our sake. You are beautiful and these videos made by you and othe authentic Tourette’s patients are very educational and have helped me tremendously in learning about it. Thank you.
Thank you for your support ❤️ Sending love your way!!
@@TiccingTogether Hiiii
One other thing I noticed with them is that their “tics” always have to do with whatever they are doing. They yell beans when adding beans, they say brush the hair when brushing the hair with mascara, in the shipping ones they yell something about Canada, the animal claws on the pterodactyl video. It’s too convenient. For example, in this video, your tics have nothing to do with your conversation.
I love how she keeps her tics in the video , i think it’s so great that she isn’t ashamed of it and wants people to know that she isn’t faking. ❤
This “trend” annoys me so much. My dad has Tourette’s, he’s almost 60 years old. It’s plagued his life in all honesty. Like this video shows; there’s nothing quirky or cute about it, it’s a constant mental and physical pain.
it annoys me too so much,
i don’t have tourretes but i have anxious tics and sometimes i have bad tic ‘episodes’ when i’m really anxious and it’s so exhausting.
Oh yeah I know it’s hard
I don't even get tics nor have tourettes but I have really bad shaking when I get panic attacks and that's already enough for me to start crying from fear of hurting myself even if I'm sitting down
I don't get how people would just make fun of people suffering
I’ve just come across your channel. My kiddo (age 14) was diagnosed with Tourette’s aged 12.
They describe the urge like electricity shooting up their spine. They explain it to others ‘imagine you need to sneeze, you can hold it back for so long but it’s going to come out you can’t stop it… we’ll that’s tics…’
Tourette’s is no joke, they are a part time wheelchair user due to leg tics, they have coprolalia and echolalia as well as ASD and probable ADHD and Tourettic OCD.
I have to keep them away from hot things because of the urge to touch! We have had minor burns so now kitchen is barred when I cook!
They said last night ‘I hate having Tourette’s at times’ tics were painful 😢
The electricity feeling is bang on. Sending love to you & your kiddo 💜
@@TiccingTogether I don't have Tourette's but I do have RLS (restless leg syndrome). I'm genuinely curious if Tourette's feel similar to that of RLS as far as how you described what it feels like. The urges, build ups, explosions, the jerky movements and not being able to control it sound a lot like what I experience with my legs. I know the two syndromes are not the same...just the feeling of the impulses of when they occur, if that makes sense. Thank you so much and thank you for making this video 💗
Sending love to you and your little soldier
Is your kid schizophrenic or why do you call it „they“?
Sending love and support your way!!
I’m very glad that you analyze these “tics” to see if they could be legitimate for someone else, its refreshing to hear someone explaining how it could happen to someone with Tourettes.
Thank you for your support! ❤️
Watching the makeup part really got to me. I have a childhood friend with Tourettes Syndrome. She has good days and bad days and I’ve seen both. Some days she can literally do her eyebrow makeup on a moving bus on the way to school and she also sat through a 2 hour tattoo with minimal disruption. Other days I need to help her with her shoelaces because her tics are much more frequent and severe. But its not so destructive to the point where everything she picks up gets thrown or makes a mess everywhere. That lady with pretend tics is just over exaggerating everything to the max.
When I was younger I used to walk around and mimic people with tourettes... But looking back I am so embarrassed of who I used to be because it is so offensive and childish to fake. I was recently diagnosed with scoliosis (curvature of spine,) and pectus excavatum (curve in ribs)... I mentioned it and another girl copied me and made fun of me. NEVER make fun of anyone, it is so upsetting. It has really led me to realizing how hurtful this stuff can be, but i'm glad i have became better. If your someone who fakes, just quit... it will only make things worse for you. Anyone who has disabilities, just know you are so perfect and you are gods work of art! Dont let anyone tell you otherwise ❤
its really upsetting because even being fake their videos can still trigger tics for those who actually have it, it makes it feel even more like a mockery
I also have Tourette’s, and it’s so obvious that someone is faking when none of their tics are unflattering. I have a few tics that can make me look weird and not in a good way. When people fake their tics they never have any tics that make them visually look bad. They have mostly fun ones and “cute” ones.
Fr I don't have tourettes but watching people with tourettes I have learned what tics can look like and they are quiet jumpy or "embrassing" the fakers are often cute and funny
I’m so glad you mentioned the premonitory urge, because that’s exactly what makes their tics seem so fake to me (as someone with TS). I know the kinds of feelings I’m trying to get rid of when I do a tic, and I’m just so incredibly certain that nothing this person does could relieve that kind of feeling. It’s like if someone scratched an itch by gently stroking it.
That's a really good comparison. I personally get weird moments that, I really can I ly explain with emotions. I don't want to assume I have tics but for example if I do abrupt screetches or high pitch "eeas"(😂 I can't believe I'm saying this in a yr comment) it means I'm paranoid or excited and when my neck twitches diagonally (which really hurts ) it means I'm unfocused. I also repeat a word with increasing volume when I'm scared, but not intimidated 😎( omg I'm cringe). But basically depending on the "tic" I can tell what's stressing me out(I suffer from severe depression and anxiety so I get anxious for any emotion I guess 😅). I relate!
There's so many spelling errors since my fingers are twitching rn. And thinking about my fingers twitching is making it twitch more omg 😂. But thinking about it, I have alot more of these repetitive instances than I thought, especially since I've gotten used to just excusing it or trying to pretend it never happened 😮
That’s a great comparison. I don’t have Tourette’s, but that analogy actually made it a little bit easier to understand, so thank you for that! :)
I love how instead of just like saying what everyone else is saying such as "Bad this ain't real" but you're giving a more insight look into Tics on how they work and WHY they're fake or can be valid. Very amazing.
Also I feel bad for doing a chuckle everytime you said "I like rice" I'm sorry 😭
I thought it's "I've got race"
Yeah
The thing I like about this channel is that she won't cut out her tics and I find that very like brave of her because I know people feel uncomfortable sharing things like this on the internet so I find that amazing
love you're videos ♡♡♡
i fully understand and agree with everything you say but just a reminder they still use they/them pronouns from what we know already so can you please edit that and use the right ones to refer to them as? As much as I don’t like tics&roses because of how much they mock the tic community its basic human respect to use the right pronouns!
@@cl0udysky347 I believe they are talking about the person who owns this channel so they aren’t talking about tics&roses! :)
@@cl0udysky347 I will never respect the pronouns of a jerk. If Jack the ripper used meow/purr pronouns I would still say "he's an asshole".
@@cl0udysky347 did you actually read the comment? Oops 😬 🙈
@@potatoking3760 OH WAIT I TOTALLY READ THAT WRONG LMAO 😭 LISTEN IDEK WHAT TIME I COMMENTED THAT WAS FOR ME SO I CANT USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE BUT WHAT I CAN SAY IS SORRY JFNGKGNR
I'm a teacher, and I had to learn about common tics on a surface level to understand that students aren't trying to be disruptive and that it's not something someone can completely control. Of course, my students love Tik Tok and find videos like the ones you featured here. I feel like these videos not only demonstrate tics inaccurately but make fun of people who genuinely have to navigate their lives differently because of Tourettes. I even had some girls who never demonstrated tics suddenly develop them overnight and exhibit them when I teach. Fortunately, one look was enough to get the girls to refrain from acting out tics (which only further demonstrates that it was an act). I'm sorry that people genuinely try to take a condition you have and make it into something "fun" and "quirky".
It's obviously shitty when people do fake tics for clout, but it's actually a thing that people can develop tics suddenly from seeing people with tics (usually when the tics are severe, it can trigger). I've seen a video on this but don't remember the name where a specialist talked about this. Just wanted to inform.
As a teacher you should just be educated on disorders like this in general. So instead of surface level research learn as much as you can about the disorders of your students. You can’t control Tourette’s at all, one can try to hold it in but it’s not feasible. maybe someone has ocd and can’t control their compulsions. If you think everyone is trying to disrupt your class you can really embarrass someone who is struggling by calling them out. Like the above commenter said there are ways disorders can onset so just be informed.
@@cyansalvatore6011 there’s actually a whole documentary about this called “the town that caught tourette’s”
We watched it in my abnormal psychology class, basically all these girls in this town suddenly started exhibiting tics and other behaviors associated with tourette’s, but in the end, i think only one person actually had the disorder, and everyone else was diagnosed with conversion disorder and mass psychogenic illness. After the media attention died down, everyone started getting better, they were treated for the conversion disorder in one form or another, and everyone stopped exhibiting symptoms except for the one person who actually did have tourette’s
The human brain is a wild thing honestly.
If I recall even some of the cases of witchcraft and possession in the salem witch trials were like a result of mass hysteria and people unconsciously developing and producing the same behaviors they were hearing and being warned about.
@@Pilapuzzles Yeah, human brain is wild. Thanks for documentary recommendation.
Thank you for educating and bringing awareness.
Mental illnesses are faked way too often and it should be a crime.
Edit: you are very pretty and I love your makeup.
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
@@TiccingTogether you are welcome!
Ikr her eyes are beautiful.
I don't think it should be a crime, just bc people who are actually mentally ill will get punished too because it can often be hard to tell the difference and it will lead to more scrutiny of mental ill people. plus someone who fakes an illness may have a different illness. we don't know and shouldn't assume
I have to say that one of your tics being "ugh" fits this this video absolutely perfectly
a lot of your grunting tics were perfectly timed in this context. “ugh” is exactly how i felt watching their videos too! lol!!! thank you for making such a gross situation a chance to teach others about your experience!!!
Something I think is really telling of a practiced tic is the fluidity you mentioned as well as that little follow up smirk.
Every time ticsandroses "performs" their tics, they smile afterward like "lel, I'm so silly" instead of just going back to non-tic action.
The best way I can describe it: Genuine tics are _staccato_
Fake tics are _lenuto_
Basically real: stop-starty
Fake: not stop-starty
im so glad you bring awareness to this, some of us who dont have "obvious" tics (one of mine is sniffing) get hate for "faking" because of these freaks who fake shit.
Yup. Subtle tics are so valid though!!
I have a sniffing tic as well!
@@toastieghostie144 me too
me too!
As someone who may have undiagnosed tourettes, i very quickly noticed something about my jerky head movements. The snap out that the tic makes you do tends to be a fast, kind of "aggressive" movement that's really hard to recreate on your own. The movement of the body part going back to where it was ends up being slower because the you've got better control of it to move it back. Ik there are some movements that are more than just jerks, but I do believe that the sensation of the tic controlling you is hard to recreate
Again, i am currently undiagnosed and am not too educated on the subject, so please no do not take this as a fact. This is only my observation of my personal experiences
I hope you get a diagnosis or an appropriate consultation soon so that you get help with managing it❤
I hope you manage to get the help/diagnosis you deserve asap
Having anxiety can also cause some physical tics! I began to notice my physical tics during the height of covid and now they go in and out.
. same here i don't think i meet the criteria for tourrettes symdrome (i've had a "bup bup bup" thing a couple times but i cant really tell if that's even a tic), it's probably ocd (which i have alr), or pmtd, because i only have physical tics, like suddenly hitting my thigh or face, but i also mimic tics i hear about right away (i just read a comment about phone throwing tics, and threw my phone just after), so it feels like i'm faking. idk what it is really
during lockdown i had like this three day period of a tic where my head would violently jerk to the side. i think it was caused by anxiety. it was really scary to not have control of my body and it would hurt a lot at points. i was close to crying a shit ton through that, don't remember if i actually did though. it gave me a better understanding about how tics feel and it definitely felt like how you describe. i wish you luck with a diagnosis!
plz don’t hate me for saying this but whenever you have this „uugh“ tic I just can’t help myself by thinking that even your tourettes is disgusted by these fake tourettes people
My eldest brother wasn’t diagnosed with his Tourette’s until he was 33. For over 20 years he experienced tics and impulses that the rest of our family just didn’t understand. He’d scream for no reason out of no where, he’d call me ugly and disgusting for no real reason, he’d smack his forehead at random. There were so many things that made him seem mean or odd that we just couldn’t understand. The worst thing that had ever happened was our family Christmas trip to the mountains (we live in California near Big Bear), to get a Christmas tree and while waiting for our parents to come back from picking the tree, my brother saw the circular saw they used to trim the end of the tree and smacked his hand against the blade. He had to get fourteen stitches because he’d severed nerves down almost near bone. Our parents blamed him for being attention seeking but at 33 years old when this was brought up to his psychiatrist when asking what could have been signs of tics, the psychiatrist agreed that it was likely an impulse driven tic and that once it happened and he experienced the negative consequence of the action, the tic was done. He’s now 40 and he’s been on more than one pill cocktail as well as gone through vocal therapy because of how bad it had gotten for him shouting and screaming as. People who fake something so debilitating for clout deserve to suffer in a hell out .
This person is like Eric cartman on the Tourette’s episode where it is so obvious that they’re faking it with how ridiculously complex the tics are. It’s always cathartic to see assholes like that exposed for their insensitive attempt at clout chasing.
Imagine being compared to Eric cartman
We should definitely collab on Tics andRoses sometime. Would be so funny 😆
Definitely!!!
Yas please do!!!
This would be awesome! Or you can play Tourette's Against Humanity if both of you would like 😊
Omg that would be hilarious
Just remember Emerald is a real person. Now she fucked up by profiting off of something that really hurts people daily. While all these videos have given me closer in our relationship together, (We were married) She is ceased what wrong she was doing. I really like what ticcing together is doing, and she is trying to educate the community on how to properly identify someone who is being trendy, but the idea of laughing at her for a funny video that gets views is the same idea as making profit off of other's suffering.
their tics were always so premeditated and "cautious"? like they didn't want to hurt themselves but still acted like they were having these tics for content
The other thing is Tourette’s is often times not “flattering”, “pretty”, or even “appropriate” and people faking always go for ones I’m sure they find or think their audience will find “cute” and “funny”.
Just to add: I have Tourette’s but they’re mostly facial tics. I don’t know a lot about it. I was diagnosed as an adult and personally don’t mind it. But I do understand how hard it can be for others.
honestly you’re really brave for doing this, i don’t have tourrettes but i can imagine watching people tic can trigger yours a lot. thank you for this awareness, i want to educate myself as much as possible 🥰🥰
It took me until my mid 30's to get a proper diagnosis of tourettes. I have had mild tics since 5 or 6, but we never thought anything of it, just thought they were my little quirks. They got progressively worse in my 20s as did my anxiety. Now just when I became comfortable saying "I have tourettes" and not "I tic, it's ok, it's normal for me", there is an increase in people faking tics, etc. Thank you for being genuine and helping others understand what it is really like having tourettes.
I only ever dealt with tics that were caused by a certain medication I took, and I honestly cannot understand how you guys deal with daily tics for your whole life. I would be so frustrated and upset, even though I'd know I can't control it. When I stopped those meds, the tics went away with them, so I'll never fully understand, I know.
I'm sorry. This is really gross. I have a chronic illness and I've had to watch a lot of people over the years fake having it especially when it became more "popular" and well known. What you're saying about the cutesy thing is so true. When they fake it they try to make it look cute and illnesses aren't cute! They are painful and embarrassing and if you develop symptoms as a child it's childhood ruining. This is so offensive and I am sorry you are having to be subjected to it. Ugh... hopefully society will learn to just do better.
"Tics arent Pokemon"....absolutely amazing video and you're an amazing young woman! TY so much for putting this info out there and exposing that TikToker that we all have grown to hate. People like that are foul and pathetic. Hopefully you can start becoming a new inspiration for people with Tourettes and keep spreading the word and message XX. God Bless you sweetie!
There was also a hesitation with their “tics” followed by a laugh. I don’t have Tourette’s but it’s disrespectful af.
It’s no different (in spirit) from people who try to commit suicide for attention, it makes us who deal with depression a lot seem like we’re “just doing it for attention” because of those who did that.
thank you for educating us x. people really need to realize how harmful this syndrome can be for some people and how hurtful it is to try hop on it like a trend, we love you.
Hi dude, so sorry to hear that people fake such an awful health issue and it’s good to hear from people like yourself debunking these weirdos who think it’s funny to pretend to have such a severe health issue. Stay strong and love the vids!❤️
People incl 20 something’s have been caught on YT and TT faking cancer and peadaphiles on discord.
I caught the "beeboo" tic from them, and I absolutely hated it. It annoyed me so much that I could catch a fake tic. Also, I just want to say that there are a few people who have/had the Simba tic, including that.tourettes.guy and a few others. And not all tics are jerky, my first tic ( that I noticed) was a quite smooth movement of turning my head to the left. I'd love to chat a bit.
So people with Tourettes can 'pick up' a tic from someone else? I never knew that - I'm sorry that happened to you, and I'm sorry people fake having Tourettes. I wish you the best in life, dear. ❤
yeah, i have a smooth one too. mine's just like yours but i move my head left to right
I have a smooth tic too, my head kinda tilts to the left.
@@AmberTurdsShittyBedsheet They can! It’s something about them seeing it can cause it to become a tic for themselves. I’ve heard of one influencer getting a tic from another influencer since they watched the video. My cousin had tics idk if he had Tourette’s but he got one from us making this funny face at him, he started having a tic where he would do the face. It’s wild the way the brain works it’s like the brain just goes “oh yeah I like that lemme get that on repeat” the brain is just weird.
@@bisexualfrenchfry1953 the brain is basically just a piece of meat that zaps your body into doing things.
Pretty sure they were copying tics from This Tourettes Guy in the cooking video. He has many videos of him cooking with tics, and he does the 'feeding the counter' tic and the 'simba' tic (can't remember in which videos specifically). He's not faking I'm pretty sure, but you can tell Tics and Roses was watching videos of people with real tics and literally just copying them like you said.
hi i’m a neuroscience major, and i love the awareness you’re doing, i’d love to one day work doing research on new meds for tourette’s!
i am curious where did your “i got rice” tic come from?
Thank you for your support!! And honestly I have no idea where the tic came from 😂
@@TiccingTogether honestly “I got rice” is a lot better than some of the other ones I’ve heard. I’ve seen a story of a girl saying something not so nice and she couldn’t stop herself sadly.
@@zerotodona1495 Prob won’t see this but I once read a book about Tourette’s. One of the characters’s verbal tic was “chicken nipple”. Poor guy.
@@cookiegirl1097HELP I READ THAT BOOK AND I WAS DYING LAUGHING THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THAT
as someone whos current interest is mental health and disorders, thank you for sharing your side. their a horrible person for faking and its interesting to see someone who was actually diagnosed talk about how this could actually happen. keep making videos girl
A few years ago there was this documentary in the Netherlands about people with tics, and all the people that where in it didn’t have there tics when they practice music. So it was about making a band with people with tourettes. It’s was really nice to see I’m a social worker and a nurse so I always like to look at programs like that. Sorry if my English isn’t the best 🙈
Ive seen a video about a boy with tics who did a speech and was extremely nervous, but didnt tic a single time during the speech because of the concentration, or maybe the passion? I think music might have such a big impact on the brain, especially playing it that the brain is too preoccupied to get any kind of urge or something. Im not a neuroscientist but it is very interesting
Tics are like intrusive thoughts on steroids, so when the brain is in a state of really really deep focus it can "blur" them for a while.
I just randomly came across your channel and I can definitely tell how upset and stressed these make you. With my ADHD and undiagnosed autism (waiting to be evaluated) when I do come across people faking or talk about something they don't actually understand what it's like I call them out on it because of the misconceptions growing up. Even calling them out on it stresses me out with my anxiety and it makes me upset. I do the same thing where I always still try to give someone the benefit of the doubt but sometimes like in this case it's obvious. I don't even have tourettes and just watching their tiktoks you can tell it's mockery. I'm sorry people are fake claiming you and hopefully one day people stop this and actually educate themselves.
Mood. I'm in the same boat as you; ADHD and waiting for an ASD evaluation.
@@Nakia11798 yes! I hope you're able to get your evaluation done soon. I've been waiting for a year (not because of the system because of something else) and I'm so close. I should've already started psychiatry a few months ago but I need to get the diagnosis now so I can add it on with the rest on my disability form for college.
I also have ADHD and autism (and I was lucky to have been diagnosed early in life with both) and the way these fakers portray those two things honestly upsets me. All they’re doing is going off of stereotypes and reenact how they *think* the symptoms they read on Wikipedia happen
(For example, they think “being easily distracted” necessarily means that anything that moves around you will take our attention away from something for a few seconds when in fact 99% of the time we get distracted by one specific thing and it can last for hours. We *can* actually focus on things. I’d say we can do that even better than neurotypical people. The problem is that we can’t choose nor control what we end up focusing on or how long it’s going to last)
In the case of ADHD especially, they only “display” the fidgeting / getting distracted by literally anything and don’t talk about the debilitating symptoms and consequences of having it. They literally just present it like it’s a cute little quirk and it just reinforces the belief that ADHD isn’t actually that serious when it is. These people aren’t spreading awareness. They’re spreading harmful stereotypes and making light of an actual disability and hurting the people who genuinely have it
Idk. Maybe that’s just me being tired of people not taking ADHD seriously and like it’s a “normal thing to have” and that you can control it (“you’re just not trying hard enough”) bc all they believe it is is an attention problem. It’s so much more than that
And for autism… really they’re just using it as an excuse to be an asshole bc autistic people struggle with social interactions (so it must mean that we just go around insulting people all the time 🙄) and it makes me SO angry
@@AoAnli OMG YES EXACTLY like for example with my ADHD (I have the combination type) mine is so severe I literally cannot function properly without my medicine but because of how high my heart rate goes because of my anxiety they took me off of it because high dosage instant release stimulants are the only type that help me. So I've literally been stuck not being able to do a lot of things even basic things to take care of myself. I've failed grades and classes and been treated like sh*t by the school system my whole life because of these things. I was even in special ed classes in elementary school for crying out loud and no one questioned anything. I recently got the loops for my ears as sensory overload happens so often with me my hearing is the easiest one to get me into that situation. Like things could sound annoying and become overwhelming and then it can hurt or it'll instantly hurt I'll start cringing my neck and covering my ears if I can't get to my loops. Sensory overload or situations have put me into meltdowns it literally becomes embarrassing because I start looking like I'm acting like a kid. Just freaking out, flailing, yelling, etc. It's something that is extremely hard or even impossible to control. Then I can also go into panic attacks to where I've even collapsed from them. So I wanna get a service dog in the future for it. It can be terrifying, embarrassing, etc. and yet people think it's uwu so quirky 🤭😭
@@cinnaxbunbun I definitely feel that, oh God 😫 I also can't function without my meds (I take Adderall, it's the only one that works for me) and I had to go on Bisoprolol bc my heart rate was so high that my doctor thought I was having symptoms of a heart attack bc of it. I had problems in school with my teachers my whole life too. I couldn't pay attention in class and they thought I was doing it on purpose to piss them off, especially when I was younger since in childhood, ADHD (I actually have ADID, Impulsivity replaces Hyperactivity in my case) often comes with ODD (Opposition Defiant Disorder) so I had a lot of trouble dealing with authority. What pissed them off was that I was fortunate enough to be able to learn things by myself, so I was often among the best students in class when it came to grades, but it also had the reverse effect of making them very skeptical of my ADID diagnosis. Only a handful (and by that I mean 3 in total from elementary to high school) ever took it seriously. The others would single me out in class - and when you do that in front of other children, you can expect them to recreate the same type of behavior, so as a result of this, I was severely bullied the entire time (which caused me to develop BPD as an adult)
One of my teachers in 9th grade once told me after an exam that half the class failed (I had a perfect grade) "you know, I'm really happy for you and all, but I don't think it's fair that you get to succeed when you don't even do the work I ask you to do and don't listen in class while others who work their asses off still fail" and that will always stick with me as it being the stupidest thing any teacher has ever told me. But it also hurt bc instead of taking into consideration that my ADID can be a severe learning disability and I was still able to suceed despite it (meaning I did put work into it, I mean, I had to learn SOMEHOW, didn't I ??), he proceeded to put me down and tell me I wasn't even trying ?
That's not even mentioning the fact that one of the symptoms of ADID is a delay in emotional reaction, where for example something super stressful happens but my brain kind of only registers the fact that I should feel stressed about it like, weeks later when I don't remember the event happening - talk about feeling mentally unstable when you don't realize the breakdown and anxiety attacks you're having out of nowhere are caused by this job interview you had 3 months ago. Happens to me all the damn time and makes therapy extremely difficult bc I can never tell if my mood swings is caused by my BPD or my ADID
I've lost countless friendships over people not understanding that there are certain things I can't control (go figure, BPD, ASD and ADID/ADHD can and often come with hyperfixations (the first as a coping mechanism, the other two due to a lack of serotonin), so in my case it's basically tripled and it's extremely hard for me to have conversations that don't have anything to do with things I'm hyperfixating on - it's either I'm obsessed with something or I'm completely disinterested in it. There is no in-between. So yeah. Friendships have ended bc people thought I didn't care about them and I can't handle trauma dumping bc negative emotions overwhelm me extremely easily
I'm rambling way too much about this rn but it's incredibly frustrating to live with this condition. I was lucky my parents both worked with kids who often have developmental disabilities or impairments and knew the symptoms well enough to get me a diagnosis of ADID and ASD when I was 6 (my dad also suffers from ADID) - and even then, my pediatrist at the time didn't believe ADID was a big deal. Especially in my case bc I wasn't hyperactive and had good grades in school. We went to a different doctor after that. But thanks to having been diagnosed at such a young age, I was able to conduct my own study of ADID / ASD over time in a way - after 20 years (I'm 25 now), I'm pretty confident I can tell when someone is faking it most of the time. And most of these kids definitely are faking it, or they believe they have it bc they fit some of the criteria and don't understand that all of them are normal to a certain degree (everybody zones out. everyone gets distracted sometimes.) and that for you to have ADHD, your symptoms need to actually impair your daily life and prevent you from doing sometimes the most basic things like *eating* (I can forget to eat for days sometimes, it's really bad). It's so frustrating
"I don't know whose idea it was to fake tourettes..."
Eric Cartman. The answer is Eric Cartman.
I want to thank you for being so brave to come out and talk about this I'm proud you are doing this for others.and shame on the ones that are making fun of it or trying to make money off of it
Thank you 💜
The tic where you say “Ugh” I found pretty ironically fitting because that’s exactly how I feel about people faking mental illness (although it looks REALLY tiring, I’m sorry and that looks like it would get sore). Thank you for spreading awareness!
I have fnd and have functional tics bot Tourette's. People often say i dont have fnd i have tourrets which is false. It always annoys me when people fake stuff like this, especially since there are many people that have Tourette's or function tics that wish they didnt. Love your channel, thank you ❤
There has been many times I thought you were mad at the video being so fake so you just went “uGh” 🙄 And then I realized it’s your tic 😂🤣
Haha yup it’s an unfortunate tic at times 😂
oh 💕also💕if you're having a tic attack or more tics than usual, it's really not safe to be in the kitchen using heat elements. Especially not alone. It helps to have a little section of the fridge or freezer for your rough days so you can just throw something in the microwave or have someone to chill in the kitchen with you, just in case. 💕
Yeah if I was filming that, or in person there, I would be terrified! Because if it's actually a tic and they truly aren't in control, then there's no good reason to act like their head will totally stop right before it hits the heat. I mean, the oven is on, there's a hot pan right there, it's hot above it. Tics and Roses shows their head slamming into the chopper when they're standing over the counter, they show their hands slamming down onto everything that's not hot (or a sharp knife). Yet they seem totally confident that they'll conveniently freeze right when their face feels the heat. 🤔
Someone who actually has complex tics that severe is not safe cooking like that! I would not stand there and let someone not in control of their movements get that close to something that hot. They are literally 1 cm away from burning themselves the entire time! If I was them I'd be terrified...and also angry at how this condition is ruining my ability to cook and prepare food like everyone else.
And if they actually suffered tics, especially tics like that, that made it that dangerous to cook...they would be talking about how this has completely ruined their ability to safely cook and prevent themselves from being hurt when using ovens, sharp knives, etc. They would not be showing these movements happening on camera as if it's ultimately not that big of a deal, as if it's not horrifically dangerous. In reality, they would have serious wounds by now.
I mean, people completely in control of their bodies cut themselves and burn themselves *on accident* all the time!
/End rant
@@sorryifoldcomment8596 No! Go off friend! You're 100% right!! Like, her tics were just so ... convenient?! I'm not sure if it's this video or part 1 where she's talking about the impulse to touch something hot, how that can be a struggle. I was scared too girl!!(sorry not trying to misgender you) but tics and roses really pisses me off bc she had a very large platform at one point. Young kids see that, she should have set a more positive and safe example! She pisses me off for 100s of other reasons but she's just destructive to what we are trying to do! I hate that she triggers real tics in real people too! The chopper/head thing was absolutely ridiculous, like, come on! What an ass hat! 😆
I just came across your videos and only two videos in and I think you're quickly becoming a favorite. You're expressing complex things in a concise manner that a total newbie to this side of the mental awareness community can follow easily. Not assuming the audience has certain knowledge but not assuming we don't either is a balancing act I think most don't know how to do well. It's interesting some of the things you've talked about when describing the trigger of tics because, while I don't have it, I can identify with some of it. I have diagnosed autism amongst other things and can sympathize with you on the frustration of others faking. It devalues real struggles.
Though, I suppose the silver lining is that fakers can technically spread awareness of basic information... it still makes it no less a mockery. It's just nice hearing words to emotions. You're not minimizing while still being blunt.
I just found her this morning and now I'm basically binge watching her videos lol
@@youalwaysyounever Right right? She is binge worthy, it's interesting how quickly you can... not really filter out her tics but like, not think anything of it? Like it stops being distracting from what she's saying. Definitely a visual thing that needs to be destigmatized because other than the occasional "oof that looks like it hurt" it really isn't hurting anyone. Stimming and tics, similar boats and all that. Kinda wish I found her earlier
Gurl you are so pretty and seem so kind and I feel so awful that you and the Tourettes community have to go through seeing people make fun of your disability that is one of the most cruel thing people can do and you don’t deserve that at all
I just found your channel, this is the first video I'm watching, and I really appreciate it. My mother has Tourette's. She had to educate me as a little child about it, because I had wrongly made up a logical-sounding story about her main tic, which is rolling her head. I thought she had a very uncomfortable neck! So I was politely not doing or saying anything to indicate I had noticed, and so when she told me she had something called Tourettes, I was astonished! She couldn't believe I'd never noticed her tics. But little me just explained them all away because she's my mom. She does a thing with her arms that can be mistaken for spontaneously stretching them, like before a baseball game. She also flexes her feet, which is only sometimes noticable. Sadly, she hates going out in public because of her tics. Tourettes is nothing to be ashamed of! Finding out about these fakers really makes me angry, because it is so much wrong information that is bound to scare people like my mother even more and make her hide in her house even more.
I hate this new faking EVERYTHING trend :/ it sucks. These people need to get out more. Also you have beautiful hair 😍 it always looks so good, and your make up.
Edit. I have ocd 'tics' they come and go with stress and they get tiring, it would be exhausting having tourette's :(
Thank you for bringing awareness to this! I hope you are taking care of yourself and I’m sorry for any negative attention that this TikToker has brought to the Tourette’s community.
Thank you for your support 💜 Sending love!
Even though I don't have Tourette's, I do have OCD and can sympathise with the impulses (intrusive thoughts for OCD) that are relieved with action. TikTokers faking these disorders (along with other disorders) don't understand that unlike them we can't just switch it off after filming. I would love to be able to switch off my OCD but if I don't act on the intrusive thoughts I get anxiety.
I also have intrusive thoughts as OCD developed from ptsd and it's like living hell. I tried to kms two years ago because these horror movies in my head won't stop. Years of therapy doesn't made it go away. Since my son is born my intrusive thoughts like doubled. Sometimes I just stand in the middle of the room for minutes and I'm trapped in my thoughts while I struggle to differenciate between headspace and reality. I hope you're in a good place right now.
Intrusive thoughts are a bitch. I don't even have OCD(I think) but they can sometimes affect me in a way that they make me really anxious and/or spur on my imposter syndrome.
jesus im sorry girly that looks painful thank you for showing an honest look at it it actually was very educational
I very rarely comment on videos, but i just wanted to say i think you're just a lovely young woman, in every way. I especially appreciate the good grace with which you handle your difficulties and the kind spirit that radiates from you. I have a daughter a little older than you and we both admire you a great deal.
Stumbled upon your video randomly and I just have to say how much I love how you go into detail to explain what the disorder looks like! I personally am autistic and it always annoys me to no end when people use it as a quirky fun personality. It's a disorder that genuinely impairs my day to day life. I don't know what Tourette's is like but we have autistic ticks that help us function- flapping and rocking or vocalising helps sooth us. It's a very different reason to have ticks but they are not cute or to be used for clout. It's disgusting what people will do for attention.
Thank you for being so genuine and trying to educate! It honestly breaks my heart to see you tic, especially when you hit yourself because damn that's gotta be painful. It makes me want to learn more and hopefully help people in some way or at least be able to share accurate information.
Thank you so much for your support 💜
thank you for your videos! i really appreciate you being as objective as possible and explaining that some of their "tics" can indeed be true tics for other people with tourettes. it is so sad to see most people just shaming them for faking tics (which is an understandable reaction, but still) and saying that their tics are all "unrealistic", when some people with tourettes DO have similar tics. only highlighting that their "tics" look fake without acknowledging the possibility for someone to actually have similar tics is harmful and it just completely ignores the true problems behind this type of behavior. thank you again for your amazing work!!!💕
Thank you for your support!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Your "ugh" tic is exactly how I feel about ticsandroses honestly
This must have been so oncomfortabele for you to watch, huge respect that you do it anyway to educate people. Greetings from The Netherlands.
I was on a medication (Cymbalta) that started giving me muscle twitches and what I called "brain zaps" if I didn't take it at the same time everyday, torture if I didn't have it, and I cannot imagine faking involuntary movements and brain function. Thankfully I stopped taking the medication and all the symptoms went away but I don't think people truly understand how initially scary it is and then how widely and deeply it affects your entire existence. I genuinely thought I was dying at times.
It's not quirky or cute, it's something people who have disorders like Tourette's struggle to manage and it's straight up mockery and ridicule to fake it, whether it's intentional or not. Thank you for advocating and trying to counter these "trends". It's really screwed up that people do this.
Brain zaps are withdrawal just wanted you to know! It's common in SSRIs when you stop them
@@animeloveer97 Yes, I know, that's why I said I got brain zaps if I didn't take it at the same time. Idk what else that could be interpreted to mean.
Yeah a kinda similar thing here. I was on a med that caused muscle twitching and I honestly found it so annoying while no one else seemed to notice it was happening. It did go away when I stopped the meds too.
Funnily though I didn't get any withdrawal with the drug... or maybe I did and it just wasn't noticeably different from being on it.
The way that you explained your pre-ticc feelings, it sounds a lot how my mother describes her seizure disorder feeling
Okay, can I just say- your makeup is GORGEOUS!! 😆 I love the lipstick color you used and the eyeshadow is very well done in my opinion-
Also, great video!! I’ve learned a lot from these videos about Tourettes syndrome and are good to watch when you ever want to support the right people, and know who’s real- online is a goofy place, thats for sure.
Thank you so much!! ❤️
I appreciate how you do not edit out your tics and you also do not hide them which is amazing and it takes a lot of courage to be your true self on the internet also you could here in her voice how upset she was getting
Love how I didn't even get to the end of the video and had to lock my phone because I started having a Tic attack when their tics aren't even real. But thank you for sharing and spreading true awareness about how life really is with this condition.
one thing i noticed is after every tic she laughs and looks at the camera which, i don’t have tourette’s so i could be wrong, but every person with tourette’s that i’ve met will never react to a tic because they are just used to it. i was telling a story to a friend with tourette’s and he yelled out something mean in the middle and i was so confused but he didn’t react at all and just waited for me to finish my story
Loved the video, extremely educational and has opened my eyes to how Tourettes and tics really do work and how they affect people, but side note your makeup is gorgeous! Do you think you'd ever do a tutorial on how to do it? Love the content, always x
I think its amaizing she went out of her confort zone to show people What actual tics look like. And i just love it when out of no where she says "I got rice" i dont know why i just find it really sweet. I hope people become more aware. And i hope Ticsandroses regrets faking tourettes
I love how confident and outspoken you are despite your tourrettes ❤️ kudos to you love
Thank you for addressing the situation and being so professional about it and trying to give her the benefit of the doubt instead of just going right after her. Also, the education on this syndrome is amazing and I know so much about it after I watch your videos. Thank you!
Thanks for your support
This makes me think about how it has also become a trend to self diagnose yourself with autism. People are just horrible in general honestly and I don’t think there’s any fixing it at this point
I’m self diagnosed with autism. That being said, I’ve researched the topic HEAVILY and have spoken with people who are professionally diagnosed and a lot of professionally diagnosed people believe that self diagnosing is valid. (When research goes into it, of course) self diagnosing is considered valid because the basis of autistic people is modeled after a white male, making it extremely hard for females and poc to receive diagnosis for many reasons. I just wanted to clarify that because not all self diagnosed people with autism are faking it, I know you didn’t mean that I just wanted to clarify
@@fukhyu3330 yeah, i'm also self diagnosed but idk, it seems so obvious(?) that I have autism? At least to myself lol, other people don't seem to notice
I can't get diagnosed due to my current situation, but my brother has been diagnosed with autism and ADHD and I was basically the same as him when I was his age, so there's a good chance I also have one or both. And if I self diagnose something, I don't go around showing it off, putting it on all my social media/bios whatever (idc if people do those things but if it's like too much, or they're bragging about it, it gets kinda sus to me) I just use these diagnoses to kinda explain my symptoms to other people, or idk just understand a bit more tf is going on in my head
It’s not a trend to self diagnose it’s been considered valid to self diagnose if thorough research is done by the majority of the autistic community for quite a long time given that doctors often dismiss poc and girls or anyone who isn’t a white boy. Normalizing common autistic traits and trying not to be ashamed of them is not showing off or drawing attention niether is it wrong for autistics to communicate with each other the majority of attention from neurotypicals is hate anyway.
Like many people are saying it’s not hard to see the difference. The person who is faking never have the same tics and aren’t constant; they only do a tic once and it always has to do with the video and what they’re doing. It’s never random it’s obviously planned out especially by their actions after they “tic”. “They do it when it’s convenient” is a perfect way to explain it I agree.
My family discovered I had ADD because they thought I had Tourettes due to a eye squeeze I did (still do), but it was something I did/feeling, not forced. So I am glad to see you are doing these.
i also have ADD and there was a time where I also blinked a lot/squeezed my eyes until "it felt right" I didn't know that my ADD may be related to that!
the way that you are so polite, You're amazing 💗
Ik you’ll prolly never see this but I wanted to share a story with you from when I was in middle school. I had a friend at the time who we’ll call R. Around the middle of my 8th grade year, when faking tics started being a big thing, R randomly started having very aggressive tics. Movements paired with sounds and they were all obviously fake to those that did their research. All of their tics were verbal and it was very rare for them to have a non verbal tic.
Before i move on- it is important to note that R dosnt have Tourette’s or any other medical condition that would cause them tics. Not even anxiety.
A couple months went by and I decided to try and call them out on it. I went up to them and asked “if it is okay with you, can I ask about what trauma you went through that caused your tics to originate?” (Yes Ik that’s rude to ask but I wanted to see how they’d react). R looked at me and straight up said “what do you mean? Tics don’t come from trauma. Get your facts straight. I’ve had tics since sixth grade”
….
I’ve known this kid- SAT NEXT TO THEM IN CLASSES- since sixth grade. This is the only time I’ve ever seen them tic.
R developed this new ‘tic’ a couple days later. If someone knocked on the table, they would respond “knock knock, who’s there?” … I wish I was kidding. After a few weeks they seem to forget about it.
I told a close friend (who has tics) about it and they decided to test it out on R. They recorded from under the desk as they knocked on the table. You could hear R talking in the background. No ‘tic’ from them. My friend called them out, mentioning the old ‘tic’ they had. What was R’s response? “Oh… I forget sometimes”

you-… WHAT?! Tics aren’t something you have to remember!!
Let’s just say I’m no longer friends with them or in the same school system. Me and a lot of others told them how wrong it was of what they were doing. A year later and I’ve never seen them tic again.
I've been taking antipsychotics for a very long time and I can relate to the tremor, I hate that I can't even drink or feed myself on really bad days, I've recently started having those jerky movements resambleing tics and even when they are the smallest little thing and they just started some months ago I'm alredy SO tired and SO done with them, I really respect and admire that you have learnt to live with your condition you are so very strong and I hope you know that you'll never be alone in this
you are so beautiful, i fully understand how uncomfortable is romanticizing and faking any of these illnesses. like i hate when people romanticize manic episodes in bipolar/borderline personality disorder, cuz it’s so uncomfortable and dangerous and these people are just yeaaa it’s amazing to feel happy!! but it’s just way more than being full of energy and happy. anyways great video, stay strong🫶🏼🫶🏼
Thank you so much, it's hard to find a trust worthy person talking about this, I'm sorry you have to see this I can't imagine how infuriating it is to see people faking a disorder that you have to deal with everyday of your life, you're very strong and we appreciate you
Thank you for watching 💜 Sending you love
This is one of the most educational videos I’ve seen on Tourette’s, thank you very much indeed.
I love the educational purposes of your videos. I've learned a lot and I don't think that tics are cute or funny but when you say, "I got rice" I laugh and smile everytime. Please dont be offended you are just kind of adorable when you do it.
Thank you ❤️
That's what I thought I heard. I feel the same though. I absolutely love rice so it made me smile. ❤️
As someone who has autism and has a brother with toreats, I really love these actually good youtubers that do the right thing. Thanks for these ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have tics as well, im still waiting to see if it’s Tourettes Syndrome, and it’s so embarrassing to see tics and roses fake what I’ve been struggling with for years. Im so glad you along with other creators with Tourettes are calling attention to this.
❤️❤️
"Tics aren't Pokémon, EUGHHH"
Agreed!! Lmao.
It's super funny that your channel just came up on my recommended feed midway through an insomnia night, which is when my tics are usually the most frequent. I don't even think I've ever watched Tourette's-related content on YT? So, uh... Thanks, Big Brother!
Just wanted to say how amazing you are for reacting to something like this that simultaneously causes triggered tics in you, it’s obvious to see that it really is tough for you and I’m so sorry there are people out there doing this shit, but the fact you’re bringing awareness to it at the expense of your own comfort is so admirable. You’re incredible. All the love to you ❤️
Thank you for your educated views. I am neurodivergent as well as suffering with a neuromuscular disease. The more I learn about other neuro diseases the better!
"eugh.. I got riceee." That is literally the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. 💅❤
i like watching these types of videos to simply get more educated on tics/tourettes, even though i literally have tics 😭, it's nice to learn more about it though!
I’m glad you are speaking up and standing up for yourself ❤ your tics look like they could be painful when they are repeatedly happening it’s not fun it can be inconvient, painful, and embarrassing and you all suffer through a lot for people to fake it and make it look what they think is cute
If they had the actual disorder they wouldn’t be thinking it’s funny. The fact you have to take so many medications to try to treat a disorder only for someone to fake having it for fun and views
The UGHHH lines up so perfectly sometimes with ugh moments
✨🥰✨ it’s so bizarre that people fake it. I’m sorry they do it it’s so demeaning to people living with Tourette’s. Your content is great
I admire in so many different ways how you are able to educate everyone about Tourettes and tics in general. Alongside that, I also want to say a small (yet very personal) thank you for using correct pronouns. As a nonbinary person, who does tend to have mild 'tics' (ADHD tics, not tourettes) I like seeing someone educate, explain, and tell people what we need to know, all while being respectful. Idk if any of that makes sense, and i feel like I might get some hate for the 'tics' i mentioned about myself, but i just wanted it to be known that I admire how youre going to help us know about something AND be respectful about it
