- This is one example of the discrimination that people with tics face in public. It is unacceptable.

I'm so sorry that happened, it's awful :( Also I agree that it's exhausting to be asked to constantly explain your disability to people. I just wanna exist, and I don't like sharing my private medical information with people I don't even know.
When I watched your video I realized how exhausting it is for me, as a mother of a six year old autistic boy, who developed recently a very loud, throat clearing tic to kind of apologetically explain for him his condition in school, public ect. I realize now that it takes much more of my energy than I was consciously aware of. As exhausting as it is to always explain and prepare people, i see no alternative, giving the reality I live in...
Thankyou, this is so important! I'm treated like this all the time, especially when upset and unable to mask and communicate neurotypically to explain to them that what they have done is discriminate and humiliate. To state awareness that you are inable to help it then to deny that this is a problematic acknowledgment followed by a request for the reciprocal is callous and shallow. How in the world they found that appropriate Is beyond me. Then in response to call for private medical information to be disclosed first, is actually illegal. We are under NO obligation to disclose and they have NO right to request or even suggest this as an option. That then is placing the blame and ownership of our own discrimination on the disabled which logically doesn't square. It would and IS exhausting having to constantly tell people, I hate having to wear a lanyard when it's going to be a place where it's a hassle. Or even a button, I shouldn't have to. Kids are great with my tics, adults are the problem. Just like as a chronically ill person I shouldn't literally be holed up for years because people have decided the pandemic is over and masking in public is a hassel. Public Health is a hassel to these same people they are selfish.
Get a tourette's card explaining your condition for those times the tics make it too hard to talk. Tourettes associations will send out some nice laminated ones for free, I never leave home without one!!!
Glad your better sweetheart iam so sorry that happened to you no one deserves to be treated like that i wish more of thw world accepting of tourettes and coperlalia i fully support tourettes
I’m really sorry that happened to you. There’s still a lot of ignorance and stereotypes about Tourette's and other conditions. You did the right thing by leaving and it just shows in broad daylight how much understanding they have about the condition and there’s still a lot of ableism and there shouldn’t be. People should be fine to be themselves without being discriminated. If you don’t teach children about the condition then it just makes it worse and it spreads ignorance
Kids understand that all the swearing they hear is not repeatable. Same as the rest of us.
I'm sorry, I can relate to the discrimination, not as tolerant as I used to be dealing with it. So far, every single time I have left, but someday I'm going to want to stay, and if there is still back lash I'm going to sue. Someday.....
Thank you for this video. I have been asked to leave because of my tics
I needed this video today. Thank you!
Not like children don't hear their parents swear and not like they don't hear other people swear everywhere in public! What they did was super messed up and it's not your responsibility to make people feel comfortable. Assholes.. sorry you had to go through that :
I nearly got penalized on a weekly quiz just because of this, you know!
Welcome back to RUclips 😁! It's nice to see you posting videos again love ❤️! I'm the mysterious boyfriend mentioned in the video. Thank you all for watching.
Kids shouldn’t be sheltered from it they should be exposed to it as much as possible because if they don’t learn about it then it just spreads ignorance, leads to bullying and it makes it harder for people to be accepted. The earlier children are exposed to it the better because they will be more tolerant and they will know a lot more about the conditions. These people are ableist and they are spreading discrimination and you did the right thing by leaving. I’m really sorry that happened to you and they should be sued
You sound so mature and smart. Thank you for sharing this. I was wondering if exercising helps you with your tics. Much love!
Thank you so much, sadly excercise usually makes my tics and other symptoms worse but for a lot of people excercise would usually help
TBH, if the people working there were simply ignorant of the condition you can understand why teenagers cussing inside the store would raise eyebrows, because be it right, wrong, or indifferent, older people don't always know all the new medical info and jargon, and although it isn't right, back in their days they frequently DID just isolate or hide away people with some of these conditions. Try explaining to an elderly person who was raised in the deep south and now has midstage alzheimers that they can't use "the N word" in public. And in their case, there's no way to make them understand. They're past that point.
