Tourette Syndrome & Tic Disorders Support Group
This community is dedicated to those afflicted with a tic disorder. A tic disorder is one in which uncontrollable muscle spasms that can range from small annoyances to major disruptive occurrences. .
I have a hiccup tic and sometimes I make a high screeched noise tic. When my friends laugh at it, it's embarrassing and it makes it worse. I find it makes it worse if they point out my tics. I wish they would just ignore my tics.

I feel for you. Those people just don't get it. I've been very lucky in that none of my friends or coworkers over the years have ever pointed my tics out to me. I don't know if they understand the reason why I have them - probably not - but they have been very accepting of them and of me. I'm sorry you have to go through all of that. I don't know if educating them (if you haven't already) would be helpful or not. I hope things get better.

Make a joke out of it! Don't ever let this get you down everyone is different if it's not this if be something else, I joined this group because my 11 year old son has them and I'm trying to educate myself on it but don't give those kids the satisfaction dear...

I use cannabis flower effectively for tics which include voicing out.

Have you tried to explain to them about Tourette Syndrome? Maybe you can get some information for them and teach them about it. I know when people point out my tics it makes it worse as well. It is hard for people who don't have it to really understand. One things I would suggest is if it gets bad is find this documentary called I have Tourette's but Tourette's don't have me. It is very good. Hope everything goes well.
