me: has Tourette's also me: well this is going to be a fun time as i trigger my tics

"i press button, it goes zoom" has to be the best thing ever to be said on a science podcast

What Luke was describing sounds like a stim, rather than a tick. Stimming is self stimulating behavior, something that everyone does to a certain extent, like hair twirling and beard stroking, but is more common among people with ADHD, autistic people, and some other conditions, and can be more pronounced or unusual than in neurotypical people.

"imagine if you had a cough and try to hold it all day" It's me everytime I take a public transport these days

I'm fully aware this video will trigger my ticks but WHO CARES I LOVE SCI GUYS!

Corry: Incomplete penetrance Me: So... just the tip?

my Tourette's treatment is basically to just treat everything else i have so I'm less stressed so i tic less. With coprolalia (inappropriate vocalizations like swearing) its just to not suppress them. Luke was actually spot on with the not-wanting-to-say-something-makes-you-tic-it thing if you're just talking about coprolalia.

thank u so much for this!! as someone with tourette's it can be difficult seeing so much misinformation and the strong stigma surrounding this disorder so this is mega helpful to the community. so informative and insightful, even i learnt so many new things! 🥺💘

My dad used to sneeze when he looked at the sun. You are not alone, Luke.

It’s worth to point out that autism is in fact a disorder. It is a neurological, developmental spectrum disorder. Just wanted to add a little more information to the conversation. This was greatt💙

I find it interesting that concentrating hard can make tics less likely because I've realised that the exact same thing happens to me whilst coughing, sometimes when I have a really bad cold I'll play the piano for ages just because I'll be less likely to cough whilst doing it

I don't like to describe myself as having Tourette, since I haven't got an official diagnostic, although it's pretty obvious I do have it, wich leads me to evade questions when people notice my tics and are like "Are you ok?"

I do sneeze when look at the sun/a bright sky I use it as a hack though, when I need to sneeze but can’t get it out I look at a light (lamp or bulb) or out a window and the sneeze will come out, very handy 😂

Corry: It's a choice between do I want to have tics or do I want shaking and random stiffness. Me (has both): '---' welp

mechanics: you can't just ignore centuries of progress in cars!!! sci guys: hehe car go brrr

I’ve had (noticeable) tics for about a year and a half now. Since i found out that what i had were tics i found out i had them for almost my whole life. The problem is that my parents are pretty hard if the topic is my tics cuz they think that it aren’t tics but just bad habits. I’ve tried to get them to research it and finally see the difference but they haven’t had the time. But since you guys just posted this i’m just gonna show them this and hopefully this will let them notice. This is also definitely the most informative and correct video i’ve seen so far about tourette’s. So thank you so much can’t wait for the next podcast😁

I have Tourettes so this is gonna be interesting to watch, love this podcast✌️

Fun fact whenever my sister sees me / my mum or my grandma she goes “HELLO TINY LADIES” “WHATS IT LIKE DOWN THEREEEE?” 😂😂😂😂

I am autistic, it is a disorder and I’m not offended by that term, it’s just what it is.

Adhd medication actually tends to worsen tics as it helps a person get more dopamine while Tourette’s is typically treated by decreasing reception of dopamine. I’ve experienced my tics getting worse first hand upon taking my adhd meds. Haha it’s a struggle.

Not you describing a list of tics and my tourettes diagnosed ass executing them like a combo 😭✨✨✨

hell yeah we're almost at episode 69 nice

I love this podcast! Listen all the time! You guys should do an episode on sleep paralysis!! Love to know more about it !

Yes! My mother and I always sneezed at sunlight. People used to tell me I was making it up

this sounds really interesting, i’ve always wondered how tourette’s works

In Germany there is a really popular KZfaq channel called "Gewitter im Kopf - Leben mit Tourette". One of the 2 one the channel has a very visible form of tourettes (motion as also verbal tics, the verbal once are quite funny) and they make funny as also educational videos. I am kinda proud atm, that i could answer most of the questions from the first half of the video, just because i watch the german channel quite frequently.

I have hiccups very often and I found that if I focus really hard on something (usually an intense stare at a carefully selected object) for maybe 10-20 seconds the hiccups usually go away. I feel like this might be related to the Tourette's tics being fewer while concentrating. Anyways it's really useful to have finally learned how to stop my hiccups, though sadly it doesn't work when I'm too tired to focus long enough.

Yes, I get the urge to sneeze from sunlight too also I'd like to point out that around 18:04 the subtitles say "two rats"

Someone close to me have Tourette's, they went undiagnosed all the way through childhood. I had met ppl before with mild tourettes and I was like, uhm... hey... this that you do seems oddly familiar. Then we saw a documentary together and the person was like... yeah... could be... Long story short, turns out it runs in their family. The person close to me can supress some vocal tics and then get them all out in a safe environment, no swearing though, fortunately their work place is such an environment. Talking about this has brought siblings closer together now that they can share and understand their tics. I think one of the family members are on meds for it and the others cope without. The person closest to me agrees that it has become better with age, they are now in their mid 30's and have had tics since childhood without knowing what it was. I have to add that this family is a family that does not communicate well... so to me it is no surprise that they hadn't talked about ut before we saw the docu.

I was gonna suggest AnthonyPadilla’s interviews. I think he followed up recently. He has also interviewed people with ADHD, bipolar, and more

This was such an interesting topic. Thank you for a great podcast you guys always make me laugh and learn at the same time. I can't wait for the next episode. Sending much love from Denmark 🇩🇰

I think the whole "half of children with tourette's arent diagnosed" could be explained by other conditions too, my little one has autism and has a lot of stims and 'tics like' behaviour (like echolalia) but it would be really difficult to decipher which it is. Similar with adhd, it's really difficult to diferenciate between what could be adhd and autism when they're pretty similar, especially in neurodivergent children.

I wish you guys can have a collaboration with doctor Mike. That would be an awesome video

I'm surprised you're surprised that people like you in the USA, I like you in Russia and I'm totally fine with that 😁 Honestly, you rock, go on being fabulous coz that's what you are doing now. Thanks! Love, Irina /Ирина

i can't figure out how to leave an apple review (I'm on samsung lol) so,,,,,, yes

2020 has been an interesting year for my Tourette's!

Yes

yes

next week

I see the sun and sneeze 😂

I have a lot of thics but I don’t think I have Tourett’s but I really can sympathize with people that struggle with their thics.

So are having ticks normal. I have a physical tick where I jerk my head and can’t stop it. If I suppress it I can only suppress it for like 10-15 seconds but then it’s worse and it lasts about 5 seconds just tick after tick. It’s not Tourette’s but is it anything or is it just random?

I mean...The term "pregnant people" does not exclude anyone, but the term "pregnant women" exclude some afab people who might be in closet and still present feminine.

What's the intro music called, anyways? ^^

I have this weird thing were if I see someone has a crooked nose I my nose starts to feel weird so to to make it better I have to rub my nose.

Yes, I see the sun and have tp sneeze. Apparently scentists have found the gene for that. It's a genetic trait.

Gay ADHD middle child. omg that's me!

This media has given me tourretes

31:57 autism is a disorder tho? It’s ASD: autism spectrum disorder. I know some autistic people say it’s not but that doesn’t make sense to me tbh, I actually feel like saying it’s not a disorder kind of invalidates the struggles I go through because of my autism, if that makes sense (but that’s just how I feel of course)

Almost everyone in my family has tics. My sister lies on the autism spectrum, as does probably my father, who incidentally happens to have Tourette’s, adhd and antisocial personality disorder as well. I don’t know for certain whether the elder members of my family qualify for the Tourette’s diagnosis, although it wouldn’t surprise me one bit. I’ve had tics throughout my whole life, be it because of autism, adhd, or the obsessive compulsive vein which runs in me, I don’t know. Although I am 100% certain that I have the Tourette’s gene in me, I am also sure that I do not have the condition myself. I’m however prepared for my future children to have it as well as other diagnoses which run in my family (chronic depression, personality disorders, autism/Asperger’s, adhd, ocd, etc). I certainly lost the genetic lottery, although as general understanding of these kinds of conditions becomes more widespread and external judgement diminishes, life slowly becomes easier. Love your podcast, lads! It’s a welcome distraction as well as a learning opportunity for those of us who no longer attend school - all of this whilst simultaneously being entertaining! Keep at it. I will continue to tune in for future episodes.

im not called jerry if that helps

Luke probs has ADHD

im a gay middle child with tics...
