btw telling people to suppress their tics is ableist.

Neurodivergent reminder: Overstimulation feels a lot like anxiety, and understimulation feels a lot like depression.

More importantly, you don't need to know which it is to practice self-care.

Self-caring anxiety and overstimulation looks the same:

Recognize you're feeling big feelings

Take as many deep breaths as your need to slow your mind

Identify what’s causing the feeling, whether sensory, environmental, or situational

Minimize that cause as much as possible immediately

Self-caring depression and understimulation looks the same:

Recognize you’re in need of stimulation

Turn on an interesting long-form video of some kind

Do some quick exercise like a walk or jumping jacks

Call a friend that'll let you infodump

If you're neurodivergent and easily get stuck on labelling things — I see you.

I'm here to remind you that you don't need to know what it is to take care of it in the meantime.

You can — will — figure it out later.

There's a genuine terror for a certain percentage of us with Tourettes that we may be actually KILLED OR ASSAULTED for ticcing in the wrong time and in the wrong place to the wrong person.

People think we're drunk or on drugs or we mean what we say and somehow that gives them the right to abuse us.

What I say as a tic is ALWAYS out of my control, but your reaction is 1000% in YOUR control.

Do better for those of us with neurological illnesses.

People who say "well supported autism/ADHD isn't disabling" are coming from a place of privilege. Maybe their autism or ADHD isn't disabling. But mine is. And this is the same for many others. There are some social situations I simply cannot navigate regardless of the amount of support I have because of the way my brain works. I am fatigued every day because my brain can't regulate my dopamine and attention properly. These are just a couple examples. I'm all for the social model and recognizing that sometimes our social structures and institutions handicap us more than our impairments. But let's not erase the experiences of those of us who are challenged by our disabilities even with support.

recently saw post that goes like

''if you are young and going out in public with a mobility aid there probably will be an ''able-bodied'' kid watching you and feeling less alone. and just maybe they might try taking their aid outside, someday.''

(i copied it some parts)

dont wanna derail a post from physically disabled, (even tho i am one i think)

and god i wanna be that, i wanna be that person, that young person who tics and stims in public, who uses disability aids (if thats the correct word!) in public, such as earplugs (god bless that woman i saw in bus that also had the same earplugs that me!), noise cancellation headphones, stim toys, chewelry, etc etc, be ''weird'' in public.

i wanna be that teen that lets other kids know that its okay to be like that, we are different, but everyone is different somehow you know? i wanna let little kids who are also like me, kids who may be different for society that its fucking okay!! for god's sake you dont have to adapt to some perfectionist idea for people, and i understand not being able to.

bc of ableist parents, friends, family, etc, bc of own internalized ableism... but i know someday you will be free, you will tic and stim, and be weird, and be a ''freak''! reclaim the word! and you will shout to the top of the world, to all the people, that you Are Free.! and no one will take that away from you. no one can if you dont let them

i wanna be that teen, i wanna be that kid that is an inspiration for others, not in a ''inspiration porn'' for abled and neurotypical people, but for people like me.. for people who are similar to me, who just know understand how shitty and lovely the world can be, who are learning but dont forget that you will never be alone,

i spent most of the 10 years with my tourettes feeling that i was Alone in this world.

but i am not.

people can be so kind to eachother, people can love so much, and there will be people who will not have the same condition as you, but will support you no matter what, doesnt matter if its online. You have people who care!!!

Tics sound so made up. Like yeah. I will repeat things until I’m out of breath. And twitch and stuff and snap my fingers weirdly. Can I control it? That seriously depends on your definition of ‘control’ because it’s somewhere between an itch and a compulsion and literally completely out of my control. I routinely yeet my pencils. But I can play bass guitar and you would absolutely think I should be kept as far as possible from sewing or something like welding but actually that’s when I’m in the most control of my body. The most common treatment/accommodation is to literally just ignore it and distract yourself with fine motor tasks. Tell me that doesn’t sound fake. This is a made up thing but it’s not. This is a real thing it just sounds so made up.

#it sounds like utter bullshit #this is an actual thing you can gaslight gatekeep girlboss your way out of #chaoticbuggybitchboy #actually tourettic #tics

[seasickzig]

trash post from my phone but i CANNOT believe that some people still believe tics are controllable. Just saw a post on a disability subreddit where someone was asking for advice because their tics offended a coworker. The comments were all saying things about how this person shouldnt have sexually explicit tics and needs to get therapy and medication immediately. Telling them that they have to be able to do the job (which was not even what the post was about???). Telling them that since they didn’t have ADA accommodations in place, they’re stigmatizing tics. WHAT THE HELL? WHAT THE HELL?

Tourettes is INVOLUNTARY. We CANNOT control it. We can try to hold it in or redirect it but its like trying not to cough when youre sick. Damn near impossible, and leaves you crying. There is NO medication MADE for tics. It is frequently treated with seizure medication, and, fun fact, if you take seizure meds and you Dont have seizures, then you might DEVELOP seizures. I was on a Blood Pressure med for my tourettes and had to stop because it triggered heart issues. Redirection therapy doesnt work for everyone, and for me, still causes tic attacks!

Anyway shout out to all of my tourettic and tic disorder baddies. I love you all, and you’re perfect with or without treatment!! The way your brain works is nothing to apologize for, and other people’s reactions to the things out of your control are NOT your responsibility.

PLEASE include people with tic disorders in your conversations about neurodivergency! They are so much more than just tics.

Tourette's has so many overlapping symptoms with ADHD that many people go misdiagnosed with ADHD when they actually have a minor form of tourette's. About 90% of those with tourettes also meet the criteria for ADHD.

Tourette's is highly associated with OCD, which is also part of the neurodivergency umbrella.

Other parts of tourette's that aren't tics:

Sleep issues

Rage and impulse control

Sensory processing issues

Deficit of social skills and functioning

Learning disability

Anxiety

These are all parts of tourette's but not everyone with tourettes experiences all of these. Many people with tic disorders may not even know they experience it and have been misdiagnosed with autism or ADHD. It is so vital to include tourette's and provisional or persistent tic disorder in your posts about neurodivergency, so more people are aware of the impact it can have on people and see it as more than just the cussing disorder.

Please do not use this post to self diagnose do your own research if you must but if you have tics please see a neurologist.

I'd love more disability aides that look cool. Cane/crutch/chair customisation is awesome, and I'd love if there were also options for that too, and also like. Leather-looking knee and leg braces. Or spiked or metallic-looking elbow and wrist braces. Stickers and patches that go over joint supports. Those weird over-the-leg hinged splints from the 1700s, remade such that they work as modern splints/supports. Those curled metal finger splints but larger and for wrists and ankles. Y'know?

#idk I'm getting a new knee brace and they all look so boring #i want COOL LOOKING braces but right now even finding one in 'not black or dark blue' is a god damn FIGHT #disability #disabled #actually tourettic #actually disabled #disability aids #cane user #ehlers danlos syndrome #tourettes syndrome

Gets Self conscious that I'm not ticing enough, *tics* gets embarrassed that I ticced. It's a lose lose really.

not sorry but like when i tell you i have tourettes and your immediate reply is

"so that means you can just swear and say mean things to people whenever you want and get away with it?!"

i assume you're a shitty weird person. bc who the fuck thinks like that???

Shout out to adults with Tourette's. Shout out to 40 year olds whose tics are just as severe as when they were 14. Shout out to everyone who was told they would grow out of it and never did.
