I have Tourrettes myself. The reality is, whenever there is something different than other people, others will make fun.

SINCE WHEN YOU DO YOU HAVE TOURRETTES?
WHY DON'T I KNOW THIS?

Instead, I have seem to have motor tics... I don't know what they are, but I have random uncontrollable movements... and while sometimes it can be funny (like when I hit my boyfriend and honestly, it's truly uncontrollable), but other times, it's just embarrassing... people always look at me and say, "are you ok?" or "what's wrong with you?"  Makes me feel conscious about it sometimes... it's good though, it doesn't happen often in public or at work... :).

But it gives me some insight on it... and vocal tics are much more noticeable than one of the smaller tics I might have.  It's just irritating that people don't consider the fact that it's uncontrollable...  it's the world we live in, I guess... people get ridiculed for those things that aren't their fault, or those things that shouldn't even be of importance (such as clothing or wealth).  :(.

You know, I had never really known about Tourette's until I went to the doctor and she suggested that maybe that's what I had... but she eliminated the possibility because I don't have any vocal tics...

Whoah... you need to see a different doctor, because I know a LOT about Tourettes, and I know for a fact that the tics don't have to be motor.

Yeah, I've been told that you don't have to have vocal tics to have tourettes.  I ONLY have the motor tics, but we don't know what it is.  My doctor basically said, "some people get hiccups, so maybe you just get tics".  But recently they've been getting worse... used to be just the neck, now it's my arms, sometimes it's my feet (I was driving on a highway and got one, and pressed the pedal down all the way, lol.  Good thing they only last a few seconds).  And well, I guess I make random sounds sometimes too... lol, can't control those either.  I mean, sometimes it's amusing, but other times, you just hope no one notices -__-'.  Anyway, I dunno what they are, lol.  But I'm going again soon to see another doctor, this time I want answers :).
