Three things that have been said to me in the last month while my #Tourettes has started firing up while out shopping: "People like you shouldn't be out in public" "You need locking away" "I'll f*cking kill you" The last was by a lad in a group who proceeded to drive me away with with threats of physical violence. This is just three of the most egregious reactions I've had in the space of a month. Now imagine that happens every month, every year. Can you see why we feel ostracised? Why we're often afraid to go out? I don't just tic words. I jerk my head, flail my arms. I meow, and cluck like a chicken. I blow raspberries until my lips are sore, I click my tongue over and over again. Can you imagine how embarrassing this is? Getting laughed at everywhere? And then words come out and laughter turns to disgust & threats.
