Its actually a really hard thing to cope with....it really effects a lotta things in life....so i agree with you ."Thank you. Not had to personally deal with it, but have seen what friends of our's have had to go through, and it is terrible. It can be laughed at quite easily, but when you really there in person, it's tough. x | |||
"It is a very serious subject.. We can all joke about it but yes it must be a terrible thing to live with... I dont know anybody with this problem, I have only seen things on the TV.. On a serious note can anything be done to help ?? " No, the reason being, should it be a child or adult, they don't see the language/abuse coming on, they don't realise its happened. Its the parents that suffer. | |||

Don't hate ya for it.. nahhh I'm sure to those who are affected its awful... But like someone falling over in the street you still laugh sometimes eh... "oh god!!! that has just reminded me of two stories i was telling at work only on Thursday. 1) Was only about 20, travelling up North to visit me dad, was in Newcastle train station, and they dont have steps that bridge the rails - but a loooong ramp. I was walking towards said "ramp" when i looked up, there was a Jap who managed to trip over his own feet - and instead of letting go of his camera to break his fall, he kind of curled up, and ended up rolly pollying all the way down the ramp!!! Errrm, have to say, despite travelling by myself, i did really LOL!!!! Much to the disgust of other travellers!!! hehehehe 2) When was a teenager on the bus, a very FAT lady got up from the back and pressed the bell, the buss went hurtling around the corner and came to a sudden stop at the bus stop. Well she rolled down the bus and got herself wedged inbetween the seats and couldnt get out. I laughed, but was in my ATC uniform so had to try and be quiet - she heard me tho and told me off!!! LOL | |||

I felt so sorry for him as he hated himself for it too so although we're all having a laugh I really do think its very difficult and sad to deal with
I would hate one of my children to have to cope with that at a time when all they want to do is fit in with all their peers and not stand out for the wrong reasons,kids can be so cruel sometimes | |||

LOL"I do think though, when you see a child in a shop/Supermarket, and they swear as Tourettes children generally can, most people would turn around and think 'what a bad mother, for allowing her children to swear' when they don't really know that the child has tourettes | |||

" I do think though, when you see a child in a shop/Supermarket, and they swear as Tourettes children generally can, most people would turn around and think 'what a bad mother, for allowing her children to swear' when they don't really know that the child has tourettes" Do you know what - i have never even thought about it in that light before. Jeeeeze, shows how critical we can be. | |||

Jeeeeze, shows how critical we can be." But I guess you've never experienced a child like that? But honestly it's true, it does happen, even like our little lad, he can throw a wobbly etc in a supermarket, and people think 'have those parents got no control over there children' when they don't really know x | |||

"Most have mild symptoms.. tics or twitches.. eye movements coughing or facial movements.. its actually rare children use obsenities.. Adults tend to use them more.. and yeah.. even the TV take the piss, often... Many a show uses it as humour.. " Well its the usual media crap of anyone different we all must laugh at. And we do. Its human nature, but most of us would not do it in a malicious manner. I mean, you've been framed - usually about people falling over, getting hurt, kids, pets etc- and we are all expected to laugh at it.

Adults tend to use them more.. and yeah.. even the TV take the piss, often... Many a show uses it as humour.. " I wish our friends child had, LOL!! I don't know there children very well, and when I've gone round (3 times, in 7 years) blimey I've never heard anything like it! I try not to swear in front of our kids, although we have, but I think there's a guideline to picking it up, from your parents, and it having some serious affect, that person can't help. x | |||

"My 17yr old son is special needs, he has no speech, but makes alot of noise, and yes when we are out and about ppl do stare.. So I can imagine how it must be with a child/young adult that suffers from Tourettes" It must be so hard for you Lexy. Our son, Ok he is only 3 (4 in Nov) but he has Developmental Delay, possible ASD (Autistic) and his speech has come on so much, but yes, I am embarassed by him, because he is tall, and looks his age, but acts as a 2 year old, so its hard. | |||
"Well.. Thats it... Adding it to my ever growing list of never to be mentioned agains lol.. Shit... its like a dictionary already lol... "Not at all, think people are best to get there views across though. Hey that's what Forums are all about ain't it? Lol. x | |||
"Seriously though... anyone suffer?? Know anyone?? i don't yet when you speak to people everyone knows someone lol.. Heard someone claim to have it in a bank once lol.. I do recon he was faking it big time lol..
was funny.."A friends 14 year old daughter has it, she also has it physical. Her dad told me, she's about the only person in the school that gets away with calling her teacher a "cocksucker". I have been there when she's been eating her dinner than all of a sudden chucked it across the floor
The thing is, some of the things she says or does are that funny, its real hard to contain yourself and we have to wait for her response, if she laughs then we all let rip, if she don't then we have to take a deep breath, and it can be hard if she suddenly shouts out the blue "i have a scabby arse crack" like she often does.
Can be very funny, but also real frustrating for the sufferers and family.

"My 17yr old son is special needs, he has no speech, but makes alot of noise, and yes when we are out and about ppl do stare.. So I can imagine how it must be with a child/young adult that suffers from Tourettes" My best mate in london who i lived with for a while has a sister who was special needs. Her mum was worried about me moving in cos she didnt know how i would cope with her. You know what - she was the BEST - i love her to pieces, yes she asked the same question 500 times an hour - but that little girl had no mailce in her at all. I baked cakes with her, did drawing, took her shopping, and yhou know what - i was PROUD to take her out, cos anyone that gets to know her will know what a special little girl she is. More needs to be open so that others will understand - and as medicine continues to get better - more of this will be open to the public. Cripes - its not that long ago that diabetics died and were shunned as WIERDO's. One day - not in my lifetime - but the world MAY become a happy place

My son is my size, 5ft5, he can walk and run but is not aware of any danger, so I have to hang onto him, simple holding his hands is frowned upon by some !! He has no speech but boy can he whistle and make some noise which again ppl look and stare.. Other parents pull their children away, saying come away as if he has some disease, when all he is is different... ON good days I say something to them, on bad days I wanna shout at them, arnt you lucky to have 'normal' kids !! | |||

"Its always puzzled me (and forgive me if I'm being stupid AGAIN!) But I understand children suffering from Tourettes but my question is ... Where do they learn the swear words from?" Parents, other school kids all sorts really.. The thing with Tourettes is that all it takes is to hear something once and that can set them of saying the same thing for months or years even. Tony | |||

"Its always puzzled me (and forgive me if I'm being stupid AGAIN!) But I understand children suffering from Tourettes but my question is ... Where do they learn the swear words from?" Tourette’s syndrome is a neurological condition (a condition that affects the nervous system). It causes both physical and verbal tics, which are involuntary repetitive movements or sounds. Tourette’s syndrome is named after the French doctor, Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who was the first person to describe the condition and its symptoms. The symptoms of Tourette’s syndrome can range from mild to severe. Most people associate Tourette’s syndrome with shouting swear words and obscenities. However, coprolalia (the involuntary use of inappropriate or obscene words and phrases) is uncommon. Only an estimated 10% of people with Tourette's have this particular symptom. | |||
"Its always puzzled me (and forgive me if I'm being stupid AGAIN!) But I understand children suffering from Tourettes but my question is ... Where do they learn the swear words from?" tv, other kids, school, the street....swearing is everywhere | |||

"Sorry people, there has been too many complaints about the start of this thread. I will be taking down those posts but will leave the last few posts on as it seems it could turn into a good debate or an insight into what it is all about." thanks Rugby, it started off as just being silly, but actually i am learing alot about a subject that i have not had much dealings with. Thanks for not closing | |||

Tony"Something that always puzzles me as well, The said girl does have it bad, yet if she's in chat talking to a friend, its almost like a switch turns it of and she can go for hours and not say a thing or twitch. Tony | |||
"I don't believe any malice was meant at the start of the thread, " I agree. | |||
| |||
Xx | |||
"I don't believe any malice was meant at the start of the thread, I think that was made clear as the thread progessed into something really informative when people were good enough to let us know their stories about dealing with tourettes" No malice was meant - but now the thread has developed as it has i am glad that my posts have been removed. Its an eye opener, and i feel for the people - more so the families - that have to deal with this condition. Again a time where i realise how fortunate that i am xx | |||
"Am off to bed now, but hope to catch up with everyone tomorrow. I appreciate all that have realised you don't know what you've done, till its done, lol! For people that didn't/Don't know what Tourettes was like, sure do now
Xx"Night hun xxxx | |||

a learning curve for us all | |||
"Forgive my spelling mistakes also. ready for bed. re the thread content. i live close to a center for special needs which over the years has been set alight, vandalised continually. Those attending have been attacked etc. All by mindless yobs who were never taught respect in anyway.And thinks its FUN !!!! these are the people i wanna have a go at. with a baseball bat "Peaches that is SHIT!!!!! That makes me feel very sad. WHY do people behave like that WHY??It makes them a million times worse than the people they are abusing xx | |||
"I dont think it went wrong. I think its come out ok actually
a learning curve for us all "And for once - on a serious note - i agree. | |||
| |||
It just shows how horrible human behaviour can be.
I do laugh at people/things - i will be honest - but never in a malicious way, and i would never go out of my way to hurt anyone who was different and would most DEFO not condone anyone who did either - thats abbhorent bahaviour and they deserve being swatted with a baseball bat | |||
| |||
"Well thankfully there are nice people in this word and hopefully we will win out over the sad moronic assholes who make life so difficult. onwards and upwards eh "Most definately so, its the minority that cause the problems, and get the attention - but overall, most people ARE actually good people, and WILL win in the end
PMA - positive mental attitude xxxx | |||
when he started at high school, the headmaster decided it would be a good idea to get some 'experts' in the condition to come in and talk to the kids, and the parents gave their input too, it explained the condition, and made it much less freaky, cos everyone understood.
there was at one point in the 3rd year signs of bullying the child, and it was dealt with efficiently ... no teachers ... the kids who were his friends dealt with it .... kids can be cruel
but if they are properly informed about things such as this, they become much more tolerent and when they realise that theres a normal person underneath, it ceases to become an issue.
although he did have classes reduced to hysterics sometimes he learned to laugh at it too.
