🌟 Tourette Awareness Month Post 🌟

So, since it's Tourette Awareness Month, I wanted to share something that happened to me related to my tics.

I was gaming with two friends. One of them suggested some random game, and while we were playing, I started having vocal tics.

Friend 1 goes:

"What’s that woman’s voice? Is that coming from the game?"

Friend 2 says:

"I didn’t notice anything."

Later on, Friend 2 is like:

"Oh yeah, it must be from the game."

Then Friend 1 says:

"No, it’s coming from Panda (me). I just realized after looking at your profile picture—it looked like the voice came from you."

Friend 2:

"That sounded like a woman. Do you have some woman talking next to you or something?"

Me:

"Nope. There's no woman here."

But neither of them believed me. They both kept insisting that I had some woman nearby talking.

This is just one example of what having Tourette’s can look like. Sometimes vocal tics are misunderstood, dismissed, or not taken seriously. It’s frustrating when people don’t believe you—even when you explain.

Fun fact, someone having the same or similar tics as another person with Tourette’s doesn’t mean they’re faking.

There are actually three very logical explanations for why this happened.

1. Some tics are just genuinely common. Neck jerking or blinking for example, are extremely common tics that the majority of people with Tourette’s have experienced at some point.

2. Echolalia is another reason, and in a tic disorder context it’s when someone has a tic where they repeat sounds they’ve heard.

3. Tic swapping is similar to echolalia, but it’s when there are two people with tics, and one of them develops a tic they saw or heard from the other person with tics.

There will be a lot of posts soon from people sharing how much they achieved in 2025. But in case someone needs to hear this... it's okay if the only thing you did this year was just get through it.

So, each year on independence day, the presidential couple hosts a party where they invite important people, and it gets broadcasted on TV so people all across the country spend several hours watching people dressed fancy shake hands.

In the recent years, Finland's national public broadcasting company had decided to make it more fun for kids, and hosts the same party but on roblox, so kids can virtually stand in queue and then shake hands with a virtual version of our president and his wife. Which I think is cool!

However, they decided to make their roblox avatar this teal-ish blue and white to match the national public broadcasting company's colors. This combined with the headphones included outfit they made their avatar/mascot wear has however resulted in, uh. It looking like Aoba DMMD organized our independence day party.

they are using my tax money to make roblox aoba shake hands with a roblox our president (based)

If my tax dollars need to go to something its BETTER BE THIS!!

People with tourette's. STOP FUCKING SUPPRESSING. It causes long term issues and just more tics to suppress

shout out disabled people that other people think are "scary".

shout out disabled people that have bodies people think "weird".

shout out disabled people with medical equipment / needs people think "gross".

shout out disabled people that "too high supports" for even other disabled people to handle and get pushed out of the community a lot.

we are here and we're cool
