when i say antisocial i mean antisocial, not asocial.

Every time I hear Tourette’s I keep thinking it’s the word turret, so before I knew what it was I thought it just turned you into a gun and you have zero control over it

It’s nice to see people educating others. Of course, there are people in the world that refuse to be educated, but for the rest of us it’s interesting.

dude you are so honest and straight foward and i love it GET THIS MAN TO ONE MIL edit one year later: HES AT A MILLION LETS GO BOYS

The reason why he doesn’t want to be known to be a “Tourette person” is because he wants to be known for his godly powers

yes, although I wasn't picky about you saying mental disorder, I'm really glad you cleared up the difference because a lot of people can confuse them. This whole video was great honestly, I really appreciate it. Also the camera setup has improved? I don't know, at least the color was nicer. I like the charm your other vids have, with the video quality and all, but I like serious professional dapz too. And I love serif fonts. I appreciate this video too much

Wow you’re a real superhero ⚡️

3:40 I've heard that before 😢

Ah yes, someone who actually has Tourette’s and doesn’t fake it on tik tok

Sometimes my OCD ticks were misdiagnosed as Tourette’s. Mostly the noise I felt that I had to make to clear my throat “the right way” but because it was an tick being the result from a goal (clearing my throat) that made them different.

I’m autistic and I’m about to get tested for ADHD in November, this video really convinced me to accept on who I really am!

An interesting documentary I saw was about a woman in Australia with one of the worst documented cases of Tourettes in the world. Her name is Bianca Saez and her tics were severe to the point where she was slamming herself onto concrete and relentlessly screaming. There are two videos on KZfaq about her from 60 Minutes Australia and she has her own KZfaq channel. It's interesting to see how her attitude about her condition has improved even if her condition itself has not. She has to have special walls and windows in her home so she doesn't hurt herself or break anything

The best way I can describe tics is like an itch that you have to scratch. If I feel like I need to tic it's almost like an itch that I need to scratch. It's uncomfortable until I do that thing and then like you said it relieves you. I as well have Tourettes and a small KZfaq channel. And nobody really knows I have it except for a few close friends because I edit the tics out. I appreciate you talking about this.

Even though your videos can be described as uhh *silly*, you are still serious and honest with your viewers when it comes to legit stuff, even telling them that it isn't the right channel for them... Never seen anyone do that before. Love it

I have a dopamine-related chemical imbalance called tardive dyskinesia. I do not have Tourettes, but I can relate to everything that you are saying. My convulsions happen primarily at night, during which I involuntarily twitch, convulse, and even hit or scratch myself. It is miserable. One has no control ouver these things. It is neurological, not psychological. We collectively need to break the stigma of these things, and spread awareness. Thank you for your videos, Dapz. You are an angel without wings.

Unrelated but I just had the best bread in my entire life.

Im so glad you are spreading information about tourettes. as a person with this, it means a lot. Many people are so uninformed about it and it does get really frustrating. thanks man.

I'm very happy to see someone with a large audience talking about this. It's a topic which I believe many people need to be educated on. Thank you so much dapz

also have severe Tourette’s w coprolalia, whole deal. brilliant to have someone else who not even just has Tourette’s so can accurately represent, BUT LITERALLY IF ANY COMMENTARY KZfaqR did the basic amount of research you did, we would be able to avoid these people saying things like “she is obviously faking because she didn’t tic during her sentence” (real example) acting like they know what their talking about. it leads to harassment of these people who, even if faking it really don’t deserve it, but also people who genuinely have Tourette’s and anyone who self diagnoses to any extent. Genuine thanks for making this video the internet really needs more like this.

as someone with tics it’s nice to have it explained so it help others understand tics/tourettes. also it’s a little frustrating when everyone excepts someone with a tic disorder or tourettes to do it 24/7 with every person with it. while some do some dont

I don't have TS but I do have ADHD. I don't really have tics but I can sometimes impulsively repeat loud noises usually corellating to memes, doing weird voices, songs, etc, but this only happens when I'm alone or with my brothers at home. I think it's the way I subconciously cope with having to hold my energy back all day. The mind is a strange thing.

Damn his power is so intense his mortal form can barely contain it

Man, I've struggled with debilitating anxiety and treatment-resistant depression for 30 years (I'm 35 now,) and have always been fascinated by neurology and mental illnesses because of my own struggles, and I consider myself to be reasonably well educated about such things, but until you talked about it, I had no idea that tics weren't always a completely involuntary thing. I guess that was just kind of an assumption I always had. The way you compared it to a sneeze or yawn was a really relatable way to describe it. I had no idea Tourettes tics could be even semi-voluntary (for lack of a better term,) in that way. I understand "voluntary" is not an accurate descriptor, but I didn't know that "involuntary" wasn't always a good descriptor either. I'm glad I found this channel. Truly interesting and enlightening content.

As someone else diagnosed with Tourettes and ADHD, (Although they are very mild), I’m happy that you finally helped me understand exactly WHAT my Tourettes was. I originally had no idea, and just thought it was something like saying something completely random, but now I’ve realized that I have ticks (tics?) WAYY more often than I had thought. My parents and school never really taught me what it was.

it takes alot of integrity for a content creator to say 'my content may not be for you, as I don't want to make this form of content, so you will have to unsubscribe or you will get unwanted videos in your feed' i respect it alot since alot of content creators will just change their entire form of content and hope that their subscriber base will just adjust to it for views and clicks

I find that as someone with severe OCD that it is similar to tics in the way that it is a feeling of wanting to make a different movement of your body and such. Like when I was younger I would scrunch my nose or whenever I accidentally scratched something I would want to wipe it, it feels like a relief doing it and it is hard to ignore.

I have a friend that has really bad tourettes, and it always pains me to see him uncontrollably jerk his head or other body parts. Thank you for bringing more light to this disorder, it seems like a really annoying disorder to have.

Wow. This is the first KZfaqr I've seen tell someone to unsubscribe due to the content you create on a daily basis not being similar to this video. It's refreshing that you actually care about your subs on a personal level. Thanks for that. Also, we loved your other videos, too.

Stress is a massive one for me too. I learned recently that I have tourettes, after being told my whole life to just "stop doing that". It's nice to have a creator that I can relate to!

Wow! I have never seen a youtuber who wants to be known by what they do! Most of the time when i see a youtuber with any mental illness they make it their entire personality. I’m very glad you say what you say. Have a great day!

Dapz is so powerful he needs to tick and release some of his power otherwise it will become too much for us to handle

Your honesty is the greatest.

You’re looking great…so handsome with the new haircut.

I have had tics, and I'd say moderate tourettes from the time I was 8 or so. I've always said having tics is like a bug bite- you feel it itch and itch, and when you let (the tic) it out, it gives you a small amount of self relief, but then resets and starts over again, the small bit of satisfaction vanishing in an instant. If I resist it, it's more like when you feel the itch of a sneeze coming, you hold it in, and don't feel satisfied other than just knowing you kept it in, so other people don't see.

I more of just watch these videos because you specifically posted them. No matter what it is. Whether these types or the display of your infinite power. I love the content! Keep doing what you do 👍

Look man. I will subscribe for the sole reason you told me to unsubscribe. It's very rare for someone to be as open as you and i really appreciate that

as someone with tics its nice to see someone talking about their own experiences since it makes me feel like i'm normal and not just like weird

To anyone curious, tourettes being a neurological disorder doesn't inherently mean that it's not affected by emotion. Personally when I feel stressed my ticks tend to flare up and I've heard a lot from people that say similar things. Also the fact that this man perfectly described the feeling of a tick as a feeling in your mind and it almost makes you happier for a split second.

Dude you inspire me so much when you said you dont want to be known for what you have you want to be known for what you do that was so relatable i have hearing loss and never want people to only think of me as the person with hearing loss

I originally subbed because of one of your ts vids, but I stayed because your sense of humor is fantastic. Can't wait to see more fun vids!!

When he looks up suddenly with his eyes that is also a tic. He is doing it consistently throughout the video

Huge respect for your comment towards the end of the video. Wanting to be known for your actions rather than simply what you are/have/things out of your control. It's a view I wish a lot more people shared.

Love your vids man! Even if I'm down you don't fail to make me laugh. Really informative. Thanks for being a great content creator ❤️

This video was very informative. The quality is also higher and it kind of fits the serious subject haha. Thank you very much for putting this up!!!

Tourette’s kid here! I have a little story for y’all if you’re interested. (For the record, I wasn’t even diagnosed at the time. I’ve had it since like 4th grade but I only got diagnosed a month ago). I had a friend who used to say “I’ve never seen you have tic attacks before, you have Tourette’s?” and a lot of other people, such as my choir teacher, who say they have never seen my tics before. Which is funny, because I have it on a pretty moderate level. Not quite severe, but pretty up there. So I told my friend (I call them Harley and they call me Mr. J) that I had all the symptoms of Tourette’s and that I was pretty sure I had it. And they kinda acted weird about it like they didn’t believe me. So whenever after I would start ticcing, for some reason, Harley would say “Tourette’s?” to me, and I would be like “yeah what about it?” And they just stopped and were like, uuuh… I thought it was kind of funny to share. I, in fact, don’t tic when I’m very focused and forget I have them. When I remember them, they come back lol. Basically, don’t think that just because someone doesn’t tic all the time means that they don’t have Tourette’s syndrome.

Gotta love how straightforward he is

"I don't want to be known for something that I have, I want to be known for something I do", you're the man.

I had tics when I was younger (I do not have tourette's though) and I am very thankful that you are cleaning up misinformation (and adding more information) surrounding this topic. A lot of people think saying that you have tics is 1. Just being overdramatic or 2. Meaning that you have some sort of very serious neurological disease that hinders mental development and you talking about your diagnosis openly is both brave and helpful

(professional dx) I personally compare my tics to the world’s worst itch, yes i can physically prevent myself from ticcing if i concentrate hard enough but the discomfort gets worse and worse until i can’t help it & i also do it unconsciously

so cool!!!!!!! thanks dapz

my man is so calm and gets to the point

this video deserves way more views tbh and keep up the good work hope tourettes doesnt more difficult for you as time goes on

I also have Tourette's (Coprolalia to be specific) and I thank you for making this video and educating people.

I have a boyfriend with touterres. (been together for 8 years soon) He has 3 ticks. 1. Him making Ststststtt-sounds for a few seconds. 2. When he's falling asleep he makes a violent jolt with him body. (I have gotten so used to it that I subconsiously register it as "Ah he's soon asleep, good for him") 3. He shakes and cramps his hands/arms in very small motions and they get closer and closer to his face and sometimes it's followed up by a shaking of his head/neck ALWAYS to the right. (He's almost stabbed himself in the eyes multiple times and sometimes hurt his neck. It also costs a lot of energy for him). I have begun to do the same as his 2nd tick. I don't have tourettes.... I am however Autistic and have ADHD, and I do a lot of "camoflaging" So I want to know if it's possible for partners of people with tourettes to "gain" some of their ticks?

This man has so much courage!and btw I've just dinner cuz I like it content

The only time ive subcribed because i related so much to a content creator, Not the ticks but the overall treatment you receive and certain things I do as well

As someone with TS, i find that I have a lot of context spesific tics. I have a lot of "regular" ones, but also in a lot kf situations i get tics of doing something i knoe i shoulnt do, touching random stuff, etc. Just recently i started having a tic of scraping my nails against my pc monitor, and its pure torture.

Thank you dapz.

Thank you for spreading awareness of your condition!

i always wondered if and when this video would come out, nice vid! :-D

Your hair looks great

2:30 basically ‘i am not a doctor, and even if i was, i am not YOUR doctor’

the god has uploaded another videoooo

i think this is the most honest man i have seen online. ever.

i have asbergers and autism and adhd and some neurological issues and when i see ppl who fake having what i have, i know if they are real or not and i feel you on this one

*wow so informative* 💯💯💯💯

I will continue to watch dapz, full videos of dapz, and nothing but videos of dapz.

Bro, I did first take notice of this channel through the Tourette’s video, but I love your personality and have decided to stay ❤️. You seem like an awesome person, I hope you keep doing what you love and want to do.

You really have it under control at least on camera because I had no idea you had tourettes until now. 2:00 oh, that makes sense.

1:52 this reminds me of a video on tourettes where the one with tourettes talked about how quite low humming and tapping his toe were 2 of his tics. that's not something anyone but that person would know its a tic

love how he explains it so well, great man. and is not gonna get obsessed with making videos about a disorder? just made me subscribe tho 👌👌

the fact that he actually tells people to unsubscribe if they don't like the content is something I've rarely seen people do so that was nice. or its a way to make people like him and subscribe. Dapz = Mind Games. Dunno why i wrote this long-ass comment.

the thumbnail looks like ur tryna sell me a book abt how to be a millionare lmao

He said what does it feel like when you going to have a tick, PERSONALLY when people have asked me I said it was like an ich on your arm and you really want to scratch it.

Hurry up guys, get Dapz to 1 million!

I really do love how he is honest

the way you described your tourette's at 3:18 is exactly how i feel about my undiagnosed case. I bite my tongue a lot and its really painful at some times, and i also have other urges, mostly ones that cause harm to me and annoyance to others ive always thought i have either ocd or tourettes but im pretty sure its tourettes but i wont know for sure until i go to a medical professional which idk when i will, ive went to a psychologist but they didnt do diagnosis they just helped try relieve my tics and stuff ok

I have diagnosed Tourette syndrome myself and people with this condition including myself tick a lot when looking at or thinking of a topic related to Tourette’s. I used to have it more severe but it’s still very bad physically, in my neck and blinking.

hi dapz !! im new to your channel but i think your content is pretty swaggy n i like your entire vibe . :]

I didn’t even realize you blew up I thought you still had like 300k congrats bro

1:11 gosh that whole paragraph could be massively shortened to like 5 lines

Reminds me of the time wjen somebody got super mad abt me mentioning that i could relate to having panic attacks, bc they thought i was just being edgy n shit... *so as one does on a typical tuesday, i explained the entirety of my medical diagnosis of epilepsy and the post-epileptic period in which i was conscious but nothing made sense (lights dimming, muffled voices etc.) and they just said "have a nice day" lmao* 💀

I’m so sorry to ask this because I know you said that you won’t be making any more videos on Tourettes, and that is so respected- however- I have been experiencing tics for about 2 months now, and I have spoken to my GP about it many times and my therapist, they both said that it is trauma based tics. Apparently if I have them for longer than a year I will be diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome. When you explained that they felt like a sneeze I got so happy and really excited because that’s exactly how it feels for me- I only have 3 tics one is where my head will jolt (this happens a lot and it causes so much pain) but sometimes it’s really annoying when I get the sensation that I need to tic and I can’t/ won’t actually tic- it’s exactly like I need to sneeze but… don’t. If you see this please leave a reply because I honestly feel so alone and I’m actually quite scared because if they don’t go away (which I have been told they may never fully go away) I’m worried that they will get worse and it is causing bad pain in my neck- is there any form of medication that can ease the tics?

Thanks for this video I had lots of questions that were all answered

I went to the neurologist coz it was really freaking me out when I started ticcing and he basically said "all kids are twitchy" and gave me drugs. He also said I couldn't possibly have ADHD (ruling out possible diagnosis, i am not saying I think I have ADHD) because my grades were too good.

The fact he asked us to unsubscribe if we subscribed for the Tourette videos, and said it politely, shows that he can beat god and is probably nicer

Thank you mr.dapz for sharing your infinite wisdom

I am literally watching all your videos rn. I dont know why. But after watching the.... water drinking video... i have to sub and like everything you make.

As a person with Tourette’s , I can confirm everything that you said is pretty much a 100% accurate. I know Tourette’s are different with some people and with me I would say about 75 of my tics are context specific, but I’m pretty sure anyone that has Tourette’s will have some same tics with head/shoulder movement and eye movement. I’ve also realized when I got an eight hour plus sleep I still felt really tired and I don’t know if I physically have ticks while I’m sleeping but you might’ve answered my question why I’m so sleepy all the time lol, great video.

4:14 Was That a tic? When you said Capacity :p

As someone with Tourette's, I think it's super cool to see people be successful like you. Keep up the great work!

Good Job Dapz

asocial is when you don't like social interaction, antisocial is a personality disorder this comment was brought to you by That Guy™ Edit: Dapz didn't make a mistake and actually meant antisocial, I've been corrected in true That Guy™ fashion.

2:13 bro i feel ya i hate it when i get really ankstos

"I don't want to be known for something I have, I want to be known for the stuff I do." and this, friends -- is why i'm subscribed.

I gave it a like for being so real at the end

I have Tourette but I doesn't affect me that much but normally I could get used to it. It's hard but it doesn't hit that hard. It normally happens when I'm stressed out mostly, but I mostly don't get used to it the only way I get it to stop is to not think about it at all

That picture of you in the thumbnail looks like you're trying to sell us a $35 book titled "452 steps on how to become a millionaire" with very generic financial 'advice', a story about how you earned $32 million dollars from your business at home, how failures build you up as a person, and finding coincidental parallels between billionaires like "both Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos eat 1.7 eggs per breakfast" to make it seem like eating 1.7 eggs is the key to becoming a multi billionaire. This book somehow sold over 1 million copies to a bunch of young to middle aged men who poured all their money from working a boring 9-5 into an NFT project, and theres a 5 star review on the cover from an anonymous person with a testimonial stating that this book singlehandedly made him a multimillionaire in 2 weeks.

Thanks for making it sound like a fun experience in stead of a Ted Ed in school. Thanks btw good day to you.

Literally comparing the feeling of sneezing to the feeling of needing to tic is sO accurate, wow… It’s like an itch that NEEDS to be scratched, and it gives a small burst of ‘feel good’ reward all over, like I can finally relax.
