Please, replace "children" with adult! I"m 73. I learned I had Tourette's in my 50s at a special education teacher work shop. I learned about comorbids in the last year. I have suffered from the comorbids all of my life. I been asked to leave organizations, I've lost jobs, I've been passed over for rank in the Military all for Dysinhibition. Four failed marriages and children and grandchildren who don't associate with me. I spend as much time as possible in solitude, it's easier. Children are not to only ones who suffer from Tourette's. We adults do too! I enjoyed the video. I continue to learn why I do what I do.
Not just children. This 75 yo, suffers from this every single day. So I very consciously avoid any person or place where I think this may occur. The older I get, this worse it is!
Thank you for the video. I agree with the other posts, add adults every time you say children. I am 55 and just discovered that I have had Tourette’s all my life. I was not diagnosed correctly as a child when my mother took me to the doctor for uncontrollable eye blinking. But that was not the only thing. I had and still have motor ticks, but not noticeable to other people usually. Uncontrollable Rage is the worst. Now I understand myself and all the havoc I have caused. I am very thankful that I can go forward knowing that I can explain my words and actions. God bless.
Yes. I control the rage by isolating myself and avoiding people and places that will trigger it. Which means I go to few places and have very few friends. The bad thoughts, mostly of previous hurts keep me awake many nights until the dawn!
I used to work at the Chicago Bulls, one day my boss mentioned how hard it must of been of for someone with tourettes to do what I do. Told him to shut the fuck up..., was not officially diagnosed for another 25 years.
Thanks a lot... Im tourette... diagnosed with no context and help at 21, later found some ASD overlapping. I would have loved, and my family too, to had access to the kind of resources and insights you are facilitating... still struggling at some level although much worked on my inner self. So much always going on somewhere most of the time still. Not bad yet still ticking. lol
I just recently broke up with my boyfriend of four years, because I could not handle his anger outbursts, he never received help growing up from his parents with any of this, I have multiple brain aneurysms, which I have to keep myself emotionally in check, my ex-boyfriend was extremely verbally abusive, I can’t handle that kind of anger, do I love them absolutely, how am I supposed to help him if I have medical issues of my own that I have to make sure that I have no stress for my multiple brain aneurysms. I just don’t know what to do and how to help them. That also means keeping myself healthy as well.

Heck, those examples are for ANY young kid.... lol.
My sons have said things that make me cringe.
Except this is a disorder that can't be controlled
