because going through tough shit and being alone humbling yourself makes you a better person, rather than looking for others assholes that are just the same as the rest of crappy streamers
Yes, if she samples her sounds, she could put together some amazing stuff. Might as well go with the flow, most people have to work hard to make these perfect sounds. And she is blazing hot
I'm from Germany and I have to say, I could listen to her for hours. Her voice, her way of speaking, her whole way of telling stories is unbelievably great to listen to. Thank you.
What a well spoken, sweet, articulate woman. When she said she wasn't ashamed of self harming in the past because she got through it and survived it, it really resonated with me. I wish her every single blessing and a life filled with happiness
Many doctors lose their focus, passion and purpose once they hit the field. I’ve met doctors who clearly don’t give a crap about the well being of their patients. The same happens in other “high morality” fields like law.
@@joe-un1ky Yeah why going to school to be a doctor when you can watch TH-cam videos about heart transplant right ? (The award for the most stupid comment goes to....)
Thats tough because u know ur not but they just brand u as an attention seeker. Some doctors dont pay attention to anything because my brother almost died because of a urine infection and the doctor said he just had a cold and called my mum a crazy mother
I dont think a psychologist or psychiatrist would only check for psychosis. Was probably a GP with limited psychiatric training. Knowledge of Tourettes is widespread among professionals in psychiatry.
@@xwvr6656 it's horrifying because if she knew she had Tourettes at a young age she could have started living a happy full life from a more early age. She's so sweet and such an idol for her tough spirit tbh
I really love sweet Anita for the fact she is so open and honest about her experience with tics. I have Tourette’s and my entire life I have been told it wasn’t real and that I was faking and being attention seeking. She really inspired me to love myself for who I am. ❤❤❤❤
It's always funny how those who suffer the most end up developing such a wonderful attitude towards everything. It brings a really great appreciation to all of the good things in life. I believe that behind every good person is great pain whether they ever show it or not.
I'm a single dad. My daughter has Tourette's. Her mother is out of the picture. She is handling it pretty well for 13. Her friends accept her and don't judge her. Thank you for posting your story. God bless you.
My sympathies to your family. I had Tourettes as a youngster, but fortunately I did "grow out of it in my early teens. It is a hard disease to live with, but there is hope. Feel free to reach out to me. I am not selling anything.
Somtimes it's better alot of teens are diagnosed with bi polar disorder when they are just emotional, being bi polar affects your life but when it's on paper when you dont have it then it's more fucked up
The attention seeking thing is a huge problem for a lot of young people, especially young women. Unfortunately the roots of medicine as it is now practiced are in the years of “hysteria” as a diagnosis and those unconscious biases haven’t been eradicated yet, not even close. Re: UK vs USA, this is a problem in both countries (and also in Europe and Canada and likely nigh on everywhere else) but at least in the UK they don’t charge you for the privilege of being gaslighted about your body, and your income isn’t a barrier for getting to see appropriate specialists.
@@Themealman Music is actually one of the remedies for Tourettes. Most people afflicted by Tourettes say that their ticks go away when they are singing or playing music.
Yeah, that kinda shocked me. You can’t exactly beat her just because she’s different. I mean everyone isn’t the same. What kinda scared me was that she started hurting herself at the age of 8/9 years old.
I was incredibly shocked about that. A 12 year old beaten unconscious by someone who 4-6 years older than her. She has been through a lot but still keeps her head high.
@Calamity unfortunately a lot of places have sociopaths like that with teachers and many others just being bystanders. Their excuse is always "it's just kids". My friend was put in hospital because some girls perceived her as weird when she was in middle school. A trans teenager from a local school was almost pushed under the tracks by younger kids because "that's not a person, it's a she-he thing!"
as a boy with Tourette's, this video makes me unbelievably happy not only because I'm able to relate to it with passion, but because it lets me know that there are other people out there that struggle with this disorder. I was diagnosed with it at around 7 or 8 years old and all I can say is that making friends and socializing is incredibly difficult. Every person I have met that has this disorder is the most kind hearted, understanding person you'll ever meet. I think that's because they've been so hurt and mistreated by people and don't want to inflict that on others and that doesn't just apply for Tourette's. If you ever meet someone with Tourette's, please just be understanding and empathetic with them, they will like you immediately, trust me.
@@alexb4185 If you have involuntary tics that gives you problems it shouldn't be necessary with a diagnosis to inform the relevant people that you have tourettes. If you do or say inappropriate things context always matters and if you hurt someone, then letting them know it was an involuntary action should negate it.
As a neurologist and a young woman I find this interview endlessly fascinating. She’s so relatable and so well able to express her experience. The tics are so complex and, 2:47 min into the video, somehow super cute. I’ve seen a number of tics, some involving a risk of self-harm, and find her tics very endearing somehow. I hope it’s ok to express that here because I could never tell a patient her tics are cute, obviously! I didn’t think that adjective could be applied to complex tics…
I'm sorry ma'am, but I have tourettes and it's not cute. I wish people would stop saying it is, I'm sorry to say this, but it isn't a compliment and it doens't make me us feel better, only worse. Because it's really painful. It's not nice or cute to have no control of your body. I was and still do get mocked, scolded, shouted, joked about, and insulted by my very own family. This is isn't easy, so people saying it's "cute" is not... not really a good thing to hear.
I 100% agree with you, however when you think about it from the other students perspective you can understand why. A child which had not been medically diagnosed with anything was swearing and insulting you. You have to understand that it must have been very frustrating and provoking for other people and for some violence is the answer
Iirc I read somewhere or she said I cant remember which but her chat intentionally made her tic that it made her bleed or something that she had to end stream
Yeah, she is truly such an amazing and lovely human being. I made twitch to watch her streams from time to time and I am so glad.. because she taught me so many things.. no kidding.. She reads a lot of studies and all so she knows a lot about certain topics and in life advice she is just super spot on. Loveliest girl I've ever seen ♥
I wish her all of the best, she's achieved quite a lot. It's a tough condition to live with, but the woman behind the condition is coming through, and that's very important.
@@SashaBlightWing No, some people think she is using her syndrome to become famous but it's not like she can stream without her tourette's syndrome. It's kinda how people hate on Corpse for "faking" his deep voice meanwhile that's caused by a medical condition.
@@ad_astra468 I know she isn't faking it, I was baiting lucas into explaining his viewpoint however I don't think he will (: I am curious to why someone can be envious of someone else who after struggling finally has succes and some semblance of a normal life, can't be kind enough in himself to wish that for others.
Is it strange that I like her tics? I know it’s involuntary and that they almost feel an urge but for her to whistle that clearly so quickly is incredible.
@Armathy Actually she has a video where she talks about people laughing at her tics and she said she doesn't mind. Given what kinds of reactions she's dealt with over her life in response to tics, finding a specific tic funny is probably more relieving to her
I found her a few minutes ago and I literally thought she was doing this only to sound cute. A few videos later, I found out that it's a disability and now I kinda feel guilty for enjoying all those videos of her.
I feel so bad she went through so much pain and depression before finding her way forward. She seems like an incredibly sweet person and I hope she lives her best life going forward. I'm sure this video will speak to many others who suffer with Tourette's and may help them find the strength to overcome it. Cheers and thanks for sharing!
@@defaltmarkowicz527 ...lol dude...u need to get a life...and stop thinking these girls want u...keep donating because you're NICE ,what bullshit😅😅😅..feels like somebody got offended
This woman, despite what she’s going through, is incredibly well spoken. For someone who expressed such hardships in social situations when she was you g, this is phenomenal.
Domi, my comment about how well spoken was more about the fact that she mentioned how shy and afraid of being social she was. Again, it was about the hardships she endured when she was young (not you g) that makes her ability to speak so easily to a camera. But you can ignore part of what I’m saying and only read into it what you want to hear. Unfortunately, it doesn’t align with my intention.
@@yngvebalmsteen9174 Are you saying Tourette's as an illness is a scam? Or that out of all the tens of thousands of twitch streamers, one happens to have Tourette's? I'm just wondering which stupid ass opinion you're trying to convey
My honest to God hope for you is that your son will grow out of it. As someone who is 25, and has pretty severe Tourette's since I was a youngling, I have to shoot it to you straight. If you ever would take advice from a fellow on the internet who you don't know, I must tell you this. Show him so much love, and verbally assure him you sympathize with his pain. Because it really is permanent physical suffering. (For the ones who's disorder doesn't subside.)
Another popular content creator with Tourettes syndrome is H3H3 productions (hosts multiple podcasts a week on the H3 Podcast channel). His tics are mostly physical (eyebrows, hands, etc) but he has been extremely successful despite given the extra challenge in life. He's also mostly adult humored content, but another great example to show your son.
Despite her condition, she has a very soft, clear and pleasant voice. She comes over as intelligent and well spoken and I can definitely imagine a voice like hers in narration like audiobooks, voice acting, that kinda stuff.
I think it's because she has to think a lot about what she's saying, so she's much more careful with words and what she's saying than the average person
If people are wondering why she isn't ticking that much, before: she explained how she ticks less when she's being serious in what she has to say such as this topic
@@SamFreedom Tourettes becomes pretty complex when going into that territory. Normally a tick wont hurt anybody around you but that is just way to stereotypical to state i think.. i dont know. however i do not know what the person above means with "ticks are contrallable" thats kind of laughable and disgustingly ignorant
@@gonzarellious6102 Plausible. I don't have Tourette's, but had my share of tics (not ticks, LOL, only ever had one of those and didn't contract anything luckily). And I still have a meandering mind, IF I'm not focused on something.
@@saurabhcent211 Tics are not controllable and saying it is misinforms people. You can never control a tic. Many people with tourettes may tic less during doing something that requires concentration, but it's never controllable. Doing things that won't trigger a tic doesn't mean you can control it.
@@unbenanntunbekannt I have TS. Telling you from my own experience. It differs in every individual. Some People have vocal tics some have motor tics, some have severe tics where it affects their day to day working, some have mild tics. Mine is mild and controllable when i try to. My tics come all the time, even when focused, but if i think about them and try to control them I can control them. It does not affect my day to day working. Except sometimes feeling bad when people unknowingly make fun of me. And also tics can change over time. When I was a kid i used to have vocal tics. I would make wierd noises in class and kids would laugh at me. Luckily they went away. Now I have motor tics and breathing tics.
I’ve always liked Anita. Didn’t know her life had been so painful. She seems smart to me and it’s probably because going through hardship gives you a lot of time for introspection.
Another ugly truth... So-called Doctors in the medical field were horrible people back in the day AND they still are, because mistreating children has not stopped or even lessened, so much so that the majority is incapable and/or is unwilling to face their and their parents and the majority's ugly truth.
Experience, especially painful ones, often make people more intelligent. It also heightens your senses giving you seemingly psychic abilities. It's the ptsd/paranoia. You see the movie split? What he said at the end after she shot him was spot on and it hit me hard. I realized I'm a lot stronger than I've ever given myself credit for. Most people haven't been through what I've been through. Just the thought of it brings them to tears and they have suicidal thoughts. These same People refer to us as broken, but I can tell you from experience, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. We all have stories don't we? I'm sure you have yours as well.
@@truman5838 What? How do you know that you were intelligent in the first place, before becoming more intelligent in order to dictate such absolutes? Humanity is severely messed up, even young in-experienced children are seeing it. ? You make such claims instead of addressing what's harming innocent and helpless children? You realize harm but don't help stop it or even lessen it? Do you think you and the majority are not hurting innocent and helpless children right now? Maybe I'll just fully contradict you by saying harms, especially ones that the majority don't see as harms, have damaged and are damaging and oppressed the majority. So much so that the majority can't or won't agree nor realize what harms are and entail; therefore perpetuate abusing and ruin innocent and helpless children. So who's right? You sound like your argument is that harms are a good thing, when they aren't, because the're harms. ya?
One of the things you notice about this is when she’s talking about something she loves or enjoys, the ticks really reduce. Then is there’s a pause or the subject changes they become a little more frequent. Really interesting to watch this interview!
@@fatoprofugus6491 I did not really intend my statement to be a fact based on some video observation where I see the person for the first time and only from one angle. Hence I used sometimes, not even referring to her in particular :)
I've been in love with her ever since I switched to her on stream and she declared "spank my ass and fist my kitten".. I had to pick my jaw up from the floor... hell, even my wife loves her :)
I had a friend in high school with Tourette Syndrome, and he had the best sense of humor. He had great comedic timing and would always follow up a tick with a joke. He was honestly better at socializing than most supposedly healthy people.
My Tourettes has actually made me a bit more confident and social for this exact reason. I would still put my Tourettes in a dumpster and set it on fire if I had the chance, but small, teeny-tiny blessings I guess.
Right?? I'm not even generally interested in the type of content she makes (I don't like to watch streams and stuff like that) but I always click when one of her videos is recommended to me because her personality is honestly really captivating, and her voice is wonderful to listen to! She's very charismatic.
Right!? Its those difficulties that can make us better than other people at it some day, as we have to put more effort and research into cultivating these good skills, as well as coping with our conditions (mine's autism). It allows us to expand beyond the norm because people who dont have struggles often dont feel the need to change or imrpove their communication skills.
I have a similar story. Painfully shy and awkward and super introverted as a kid, finally in my 20s I said enough and started forcing myself to go out and talk to strangers (at events, not just like on the street), and then I started a podcast, and now I have a TH-cam channel and stream sometimes and people think I'm a huge extrovert. It's practice + pushing yourself to grow :)
We will never know how many people will be helped by these videos. Getting a diagnosis is so important for mental health. What a sweet intelligent person.
I really appreciate the honest inside peek into this young lady's life. She is gorgeous and as a child I can imagine she was a doll. So, parents and adults being so unkind and bitterly rude. Its great she gets the help she needs and helped her cope with the daily life of being a little different. Thanks for sharing.
@@Maria-fd9gv Well usually, it's less of a circle and more of a trapezium. At the moment, during covid though, it's just my girlfriend and I. I'm guessing your next question is: you have a girlfriend? Well, she tells me she is so I'll just have to take her word for it.
There is nothing you could dislike about this woman! She is smart, incredibly beautiful, well spoken, and seems like a lot of fun. I wish I could be her friend.
Love how straightforward and blunt this woman is nothing more attractive than a confident well spoken straightforward woman no b/s she says what she means and vice versa 👌🏼❤️
Thank you for sharing your unique talent ups and downs with the world. I have learned a few things from your story. Thank you. Thank you LADbible TV for the interview.
I noticed that she had more tics when she spoke about and recalled the darker times in her life than when she spoke about the happy times. My epilepsy is similar to that - I have more seizures when I'm feeling down or stressed than when I'm happy. Those random pops she does as well are really cute and perfectly done, I'm sort of jealous I can't pop as well as her.
It's worth saying that our understandings of neuroscience in general are barely more than infantile in comparison to other medical science studies... It's not epilepsy or tourettes, but I only realized about a month ago that I can't recall ever sneezing once on a motorcycle, and I'm fairly allergic to much of the surrounding environment... from molds and pollen to animal dander and dust... BUT for whatever reason, I've sneezed my head off in cars... even while I was driving... BUT never that I can recall on a motorcycle... which would be considerably more hazardous than driving a car and sneezing in uncontrolled fits... Emotional states DO elicit physiological changes, too. They are measurable and real physical changes. That could be at least part of it... I mean, it's imperative that I keep my emotional state relatively stable on the bike, because getting angry stiffens you up, the same as fear will stiffen you up, and the same as cold chills will stiffen you up. You can't ride skillfully if you can't move fluidly... AND that's a recipe for disaster on a motorcycle covering a 100 feet every second... It's important to note that when you get tense, it really doesn't matter why. It may only interfere a negligible amount with your skills on the bike, but it ALWAYS interferes. You can't "cheat" either. These are physiological changes, and while some effect certain people more than others, they are still detrimental. Of course, to me, riding has always been more akin to meditation than an adrenaline fueled sport, so that probably has some to do with how I can maintain a relatively stable emotional state on a moving motorcycle. Sure, people do dumb things in traffic, and it can be irritating... I'm human as the next guy or gal. I just prefer to blow it off in a few choice words and cleverly coined insults under the helmet, and releasing the anger, I make the maneuvering adjustments to render any hazard to a "non-issue" or effectively evade the catastrophe... AND of course, gear is worn to mitigate those times when skills alone can't. In any case, I wouldn't give up hope. We may well make significant progress. The "cutting edge" is miles ahead of where it was when I was a kid... and pneumonia was a summertime infection as often as winter... which for me was twice every year until I was in the fifth grade... ;o)
@@Moriamii Reclusive doesn't mean a person stays inside 24/7 with no social life. I'm introverted yet I also go out socially a few times a months. There's a balance.
She's actually suffered an unbelievable amount and speaks about it like was just a normal part of life. Further she still acts like she needs to justify her behavior, like she needs to warn other people, like all the responsibility is on her to save other people from the inconvenience of dealing with her, it's heartbreaking, honestly. She's quite an extraordinary woman.
Well, maybe she really needs to warn others. Not to take some sort of responsibility or excuse an inconvenience she has no power over, but because an explanation might actually be needed. Imagine she tells someone she'll kill their dad (which she does sometimes) without the context. She could get in actual trouble because people don't take stuff like that lightly. If they don't know her, that is. You can't expect random people to think about the possibility of this being Tourette's first. I really like Anita and follow her streams, but you cannot act like some comments don't need to be explained if they happen. That's why she tells the taxi driver in the first place, so she can prevent bad stuff from happening.
She's only had a true diagnosis for a few years, so it takes time to get past feeling like you have to justify yourself. She's adjusted quite well from what I see, a lingering habit isn't so bad. And it's only an inconvenience to those who see it as such. That's on them, not her. Like she said, it can also be an amusing conversation starter as well. Just look at the bit of accidental comedy at the end of the interview. You couldn't plan that, and it was genuinely funny.
While I agree, it's still a little disconcerting if you consider the fact that she can suddenly punch you in the dick involuntarily and without warning.
@@gjaeigjiajeg - As long as you weren't an only child without pets you should have learned to defend against that. And anyone who's taken care of a toddler has taken at least one or two whacks to the sack. Whether they headbutt you, swing wild, or just throw a Tonka truck, they GOING to make your eyes roll back in your head at some point.
@@phydeux Not sure if you're reading this in the full context of the conversation, but you've kind of furthered my point. You KNOW to be on your guard around pets and toddlers. In this instance, if she didn't let me know up front, I wouldn't have known that there would be unwarned attacks. So not only am I not prepared for it, but what if I hit her back in self defense because I genuinely thought it was an attack? Verbal ticks like suddenly blurting out a random sound is one thing, but something physical needs to be managed on my part, which cannot be achieved without information. And if given the information up front, I would sensibly keep myself at least an arm's length away so that I can evade or react gently on time.
My son had similar ticks as you. Hooting like an owl, blinking in specific patterns etc. I was there always for him, since the world is not understanding of the condition. He is now an owner of his own company with employees. I'm so proud of him.
My son who's 7 turning 8 has started doing tics like this. He started with his mouth like yawning randomly then that stopped now this is the worse I've seen from him all this before he goes back to school where he didn't do anything before I'm telling him it's ok and he says that's he silly for doing it he randomly will just burst out with a back shrug and a mouth sound bit like Tasmanian devil. Reading your comment was so lovely to read
@@CCFC_86 thank you for your reply. I found that the ticks got more intense when he was stressed out. I would ask him in a calm way if everything was okay and if I could help in some way. I think this helped to give him the security that he's got someone to listen if he needs it. Eventually he will learn to control the ticks. But this is something that will take a little time. Good luck to you and your son . 😊
@@CCFC_86 I found I had a similar situation when I was about 9. It is really a weird feeling that you feel you must nod your head or open your mouth like yawning. Eventually, they have grown away in my case.
The pure, raw, unbridled, open honesty of this woman is breathtaking. She has more grace, emotion, integrity, personality and compassion in the tip of her finger than the overwhelming majority of people will ever have in their entire lives. If anyone needs to see what makes a person beautiful, this is it.
Only found out about her today. Such an amazingly lovely young lady. Totally agree with what she said about context and the swearing. If other people can't handle it, that's their issue. I don't expect her to read this but - keep doing what you're doing, I'm sure you're an inspiration to a lot of people.
You're beautiful Anita! I'm so sad tohear all that you went through! But you're here now! And you're wonderful! Stay proud and happy with yourself! You're the most beautiful woman I've ever gotten to know ❤ And I feel like they purposely put Anita in that room that looks daunting and uncomfortable just so she would be even more nervous and her tics would flare up more often just to have more of it on video but Anita is a champ! She got through it all so brilliantly! We love you Anita!
Hey wait a minute......THIS girl is Sweet Anita? What the hell I didn't even know, I just saw her in my recommended but didn't watch it. I have heard of her, just thought she's just another streamer.
Did anyone else REALLY enjoy this interview and also notice how assertive and with how much comedy she handles her syndrome? Fantastic. Well turns out she's a really entertaining youtuber and streamer.
She's really sweet. She just handles it with so much comedy. She has her ticksz and just keeps talking normally. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do it like that if I was in her place. I'm really impressed. I really enjoyed this. It kinda changed my mind a bit, because like she said she thought as well , I had those kinds of stereotypes. I didn't even see this before, I had no idea about her but thank god I watched this
I think she is more like a comic person in real life than a person that would hurt other feelings. I am a wieldo myself , anyway , so I don't mind having a friend like that to be honest.
My son’s Tourette’s started to reveal itself when he was 8. Every Touretter’s experience is different, his was a combination of large physical ticks, sleep vocalizations, and a number of organizational and learning deficits. School was a challenge but like you, he found ways to manage and overcome. He has learned to channel his Tourette’s into unique strengths that have helped him to be successful in his work, a loving husband, and a dedicated father. I could not be more proud of him. And I hope you have the same pride in yourself.
I wish so much I had parents like you. I have the opposite family. I can't begin to think about what I have to hear from my family about. It had me depressed for 2 years of my life. I was 11 or 12. It started to me when I was 8 too. I'm so proud of you, I don't know who you are but you are a absolutely great and wonderful parent. You don't know how lucky your son is and how much your support means to him and will help him through his journey until you see what a kid without that support goes through and how hard it is for them. You are truly a great parent. I hope you have a great life man.
Yeah it affects you for life. I had been hideously abused and abandoned and beaten and gaslighted by ten years old. All the while kept away from doctors and other kids so as to keep my abusers safe from discovery. Evil people.
Had the pleasure of meeting her in person, not knowing who she was, I just happened to run into her while I was travelling, and she was one of the nicest, most helpful, kind people that I’ve ever met and I’ll never forget how she helped me out when I really needed it.
@@drphot6050 he's in one of her videos where she talk about being drunk Tourettes and he's apparently sleeping at the road, very drunk, and she wakes him up and help him walk home. Not sure why you're being very salty about people saying she's nice tho
You my friend are are Rockstar! The only people that should be judged at all are the ones who have tics but can control it. In other words every other person on this planet that doesn't have tourets but choose to hurt people anyway either verbally or physical. Your a champion for people that have tourets and don't have a someone in thier corner. Well done.

The medical profession is full of absolute wastes of a degree, I really don't understand how it happens

You probably get good at it after doing it every other second for the entirity of your life

I'm a single dad. My daughter has Tourette's. Her mother is out of the picture. She is handling it pretty well for 13. Her friends accept her and don't judge her. Thank you for posting your story. God bless you.
Your a good dad 👍
It's because of people like this girl that that's even possible, awareness is a precursor of acceptance.
Pfp checks out!
My sympathies to your family. I had Tourettes as a youngster, but fortunately I did "grow out of it in my early teens. It is a hard disease to live with, but there is hope. Feel free to reach out to me. I am not selling anything.
tbh, I think its great, she speaks the truth and its so refreshing
I can't believe they didn't diagnose her until she was 27. What an utter, disastrous failing of our medical system.
Somtimes it's better alot of teens are diagnosed with bi polar disorder when they are just emotional, being bi polar affects your life but when it's on paper when you dont have it then it's more fucked up
She's from the UK
Yeah, UK medical system is terrible. Doctors in the US wouldn’t let this go undiagnosed for so long
@@MDbaseball3 they’re not terrible it’s free health care you can’t complain about something you don’t pay for
The attention seeking thing is a huge problem for a lot of young people, especially young women. Unfortunately the roots of medicine as it is now practiced are in the years of “hysteria” as a diagnosis and those unconscious biases haven’t been eradicated yet, not even close.
Re: UK vs USA, this is a problem in both countries (and also in Europe and Canada and likely nigh on everywhere else) but at least in the UK they don’t charge you for the privilege of being gaslighted about your body, and your income isn’t a barrier for getting to see appropriate specialists.

It makes me so upset to hear that she was beaten UNCONSCIOUS when she was 12.
Yeah, that kinda shocked me. You can’t exactly beat her just because she’s different. I mean everyone isn’t the same.
What kinda scared me was that she started hurting herself at the age of 8/9 years old.
And by sixth form, which are around 16 to 18 years old. Why wasn't something done about it?

@Calamity unfortunately a lot of places have sociopaths like that with teachers and many others just being bystanders. Their excuse is always "it's just kids". My friend was put in hospital because some girls perceived her as weird when she was in middle school. A trans teenager from a local school was almost pushed under the tracks by younger kids because "that's not a person, it's a she-he thing!"
Anyone else find her voice calming?
as a boy with Tourette's, this video makes me unbelievably happy not only because I'm able to relate to it with passion, but because it lets me know that there are other people out there that struggle with this disorder. I was diagnosed with it at around 7 or 8 years old and all I can say is that making friends and socializing is incredibly difficult. Every person I have met that has this disorder is the most kind hearted, understanding person you'll ever meet. I think that's because they've been so hurt and mistreated by people and don't want to inflict that on others and that doesn't just apply for Tourette's. If you ever meet someone with Tourette's, please just be understanding and empathetic with them, they will like you immediately, trust me.

As a neurologist and a young woman I find this interview endlessly fascinating. She’s so relatable and so well able to express her experience. The tics are so complex and, 2:47 min into the video, somehow super cute. I’ve seen a number of tics, some involving a risk of self-harm, and find her tics very endearing somehow. I hope it’s ok to express that here because I could never tell a patient her tics are cute, obviously! I didn’t think that adjective could be applied to complex tics…
She's a streamer and people constantly say her tics are cute, and i don't think she minds.
Better that people find her tics cute than offensive.
I'm sorry ma'am, but I have tourettes and it's not cute. I wish people would stop saying it is, I'm sorry to say this, but it isn't a compliment and it doens't make me us feel better, only worse. Because it's really painful. It's not nice or cute to have no control of your body. I was and still do get mocked, scolded, shouted, joked about, and insulted by my very own family. This is isn't easy, so people saying it's "cute" is not... not really a good thing to hear.

I 100% agree with you, however when you think about it from the other students perspective you can understand why.

Domi, my comment about how well spoken was more about the fact that she mentioned how shy and afraid of being social she was.

My son has Tourettes syndrome, I will show him this when he's a bit older. I hope he manages as well as you have. I think you're amazing 💖
Sending virtual hug for your son 🥰
My honest to God hope for you is that your son will grow out of it. As someone who is 25, and has pretty severe Tourette's since I was a youngling, I have to shoot it to you straight. If you ever would take advice from a fellow on the internet who you don't know, I must tell you this. Show him so much love, and verbally assure him you sympathize with his pain. Because it really is permanent physical suffering. (For the ones who's disorder doesn't subside.)
Another popular content creator with Tourettes syndrome is H3H3 productions (hosts multiple podcasts a week on the H3 Podcast channel). His tics are mostly physical (eyebrows, hands, etc) but he has been extremely successful despite given the extra challenge in life. He's also mostly adult humored content, but another great example to show your son.
@@hatsunemiku6466 thats kind a weird hugging kids you don't know

Despite her condition, she has a very soft, clear and pleasant voice. She comes over as intelligent and well spoken and I can definitely imagine a voice like hers in narration like audiobooks, voice acting, that kinda stuff.
Agreed! And to be honest, it would be all the better without editing of tics. Keeping the originality of her character would be vital.
But with occasional swears at the listener in between.
I think it's because she has to think a lot about what she's saying, so she's much more careful with words and what she's saying than the average person

@@saurabhcent211 Tics are not controllable and saying it is misinforms people. You can never control a tic. Many people with tourettes may tic less during doing something that requires concentration, but it's never controllable. Doing things that won't trigger a tic doesn't mean you can control it.
@@unbenanntunbekannt I have TS. Telling you from my own experience. It differs in every individual. Some People have vocal tics some have motor tics, some have severe tics where it affects their day to day working, some have mild tics. Mine is mild and controllable when i try to. My tics come all the time, even when focused, but if i think about them and try to control them I can control them. It does not affect my day to day working. Except sometimes feeling bad when people unknowingly make fun of me. And also tics can change over time. When I was a kid i used to have vocal tics. I would make wierd noises in class and kids would laugh at me. Luckily they went away. Now I have motor tics and breathing tics.
I’ve always liked Anita. Didn’t know her life had been so painful. She seems smart to me and it’s probably because going through hardship gives you a lot of time for introspection.
Another ugly truth... So-called Doctors in the medical field were horrible people back in the day AND they still are, because mistreating children has not stopped or even lessened, so much so that the majority is incapable and/or is unwilling to face their and their parents and the majority's ugly truth.
Experience, especially painful ones, often make people more intelligent. It also heightens your senses giving you seemingly psychic abilities. It's the ptsd/paranoia. You see the movie split? What he said at the end after she shot him was spot on and it hit me hard. I realized I'm a lot stronger than I've ever given myself credit for. Most people haven't been through what I've been through. Just the thought of it brings them to tears and they have suicidal thoughts. These same People refer to us as broken, but I can tell you from experience, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. We all have stories don't we?
I'm sure you have yours as well.
@@truman5838 What? How do you know that you were intelligent in the first place, before becoming more intelligent in order to dictate such absolutes?
Humanity is severely messed up, even young in-experienced children are seeing it. ? You make such claims instead of addressing what's harming innocent and helpless children? You realize harm but don't help stop it or even lessen it? Do you think you and the majority are not hurting innocent and helpless children right now?
Maybe I'll just fully contradict you by saying harms, especially ones that the majority don't see as harms, have damaged and are damaging and oppressed the majority. So much so that the majority can't or won't agree nor realize what harms are and entail; therefore perpetuate abusing and ruin innocent and helpless children.
So who's right? You sound like your argument is that harms are a good thing, when they aren't, because the're harms. ya?
Also just a lot of alone time.

I've been in love with her ever since I switched to her on stream and she declared "spank my ass and fist my kitten".. I had to pick my jaw up from the floor... hell, even my wife loves her :)
I absolutely adore her and glad to hear her life story. I used to subscribe to her on TH-cam years ago. I wish her well and hope she is happy.
I had a friend in high school with Tourette Syndrome, and he had the best sense of humor. He had great comedic timing and would always follow up a tick with a joke. He was honestly better at socializing than most supposedly healthy people.
Sounds to me like she's just more vocal about her natural nervousness and anxiety; like any of us.
My Tourettes has actually made me a bit more confident and social for this exact reason. I would still put my Tourettes in a dumpster and set it on fire if I had the chance, but small, teeny-tiny blessings I guess.
Remember, Anita is healthy. Her Tourettes is a neurological disorder. Maybe splitting hairs here. She is a delight!!
She sounds like a blast to be around haha, I wish her the best
It’s kinda crazy to hear Anita saying that she was socially inept some time ago since now she really comes across as someone very socially skilled
Right?? I'm not even generally interested in the type of content she makes (I don't like to watch streams and stuff like that) but I always click when one of her videos is recommended to me because her personality is honestly really captivating, and her voice is wonderful to listen to! She's very charismatic.
Right!? Its those difficulties that can make us better than other people at it some day, as we have to put more effort and research into cultivating these good skills, as well as coping with our conditions (mine's autism). It allows us to expand beyond the norm because people who dont have struggles often dont feel the need to change or imrpove their communication skills.
I have a similar story. Painfully shy and awkward and super introverted as a kid, finally in my 20s I said enough and started forcing myself to go out and talk to strangers (at events, not just like on the street), and then I started a podcast, and now I have a TH-cam channel and stream sometimes and people think I'm a huge extrovert.

I noticed that she had more tics when she spoke about and recalled the darker times in her life than when she spoke about the happy times. My epilepsy is similar to that - I have more seizures when I'm feeling down or stressed than when I'm happy.
Those random pops she does as well are really cute and perfectly done, I'm sort of jealous I can't pop as well as her.
You can! It's all about practice, and she had a lot of it.
I noticed it too !
It's worth saying that our understandings of neuroscience in general are barely more than infantile in comparison to other medical science studies...
It's not epilepsy or tourettes, but I only realized about a month ago that I can't recall ever sneezing once on a motorcycle, and I'm fairly allergic to much of the surrounding environment... from molds and pollen to animal dander and dust... BUT for whatever reason, I've sneezed my head off in cars... even while I was driving... BUT never that I can recall on a motorcycle... which would be considerably more hazardous than driving a car and sneezing in uncontrolled fits...
Emotional states DO elicit physiological changes, too. They are measurable and real physical changes. That could be at least part of it... I mean, it's imperative that I keep my emotional state relatively stable on the bike, because getting angry stiffens you up, the same as fear will stiffen you up, and the same as cold chills will stiffen you up. You can't ride skillfully if you can't move fluidly... AND that's a recipe for disaster on a motorcycle covering a 100 feet every second... It's important to note that when you get tense, it really doesn't matter why. It may only interfere a negligible amount with your skills on the bike, but it ALWAYS interferes. You can't "cheat" either. These are physiological changes, and while some effect certain people more than others, they are still detrimental.
Of course, to me, riding has always been more akin to meditation than an adrenaline fueled sport, so that probably has some to do with how I can maintain a relatively stable emotional state on a moving motorcycle. Sure, people do dumb things in traffic, and it can be irritating... I'm human as the next guy or gal. I just prefer to blow it off in a few choice words and cleverly coined insults under the helmet, and releasing the anger, I make the maneuvering adjustments to render any hazard to a "non-issue" or effectively evade the catastrophe... AND of course, gear is worn to mitigate those times when skills alone can't.
In any case, I wouldn't give up hope. We may well make significant progress. The "cutting edge" is miles ahead of where it was when I was a kid... and pneumonia was a summertime infection as often as winter... which for me was twice every year until I was in the fifth grade... ;o)
Actually she is attention-seeking person. She says she is reclusive, afraid of people then suddenly talks about having sex with bunch of other guys
@@Moriamii Reclusive doesn't mean a person stays inside 24/7 with no social life. I'm introverted yet I also go out socially a few times a months. There's a balance.
She's actually suffered an unbelievable amount and speaks about it like was just a normal part of life. Further she still acts like she needs to justify her behavior, like she needs to warn other people, like all the responsibility is on her to save other people from the inconvenience of dealing with her, it's heartbreaking, honestly. She's quite an extraordinary woman.
Well, maybe she really needs to warn others. Not to take some sort of responsibility or excuse an inconvenience she has no power over, but because an explanation might actually be needed. Imagine she tells someone she'll kill their dad (which she does sometimes) without the context. She could get in actual trouble because people don't take stuff like that lightly. If they don't know her, that is. You can't expect random people to think about the possibility of this being Tourette's first.
I really like Anita and follow her streams, but you cannot act like some comments don't need to be explained if they happen. That's why she tells the taxi driver in the first place, so she can prevent bad stuff from happening.
She's only had a true diagnosis for a few years, so it takes time to get past feeling like you have to justify yourself. She's adjusted quite well from what I see, a lingering habit isn't so bad.
And it's only an inconvenience to those who see it as such. That's on them, not her. Like she said, it can also be an amusing conversation starter as well. Just look at the bit of accidental comedy at the end of the interview. You couldn't plan that, and it was genuinely funny.
While I agree, it's still a little disconcerting if you consider the fact that she can suddenly punch you in the dick involuntarily and without warning.
@@gjaeigjiajeg - As long as you weren't an only child without pets you should have learned to defend against that.
And anyone who's taken care of a toddler has taken at least one or two whacks to the sack. Whether they headbutt you, swing wild, or just throw a Tonka truck, they GOING to make your eyes roll back in your head at some point.
@@phydeux Not sure if you're reading this in the full context of the conversation, but you've kind of furthered my point. You KNOW to be on your guard around pets and toddlers. In this instance, if she didn't let me know up front, I wouldn't have known that there would be unwarned attacks. So not only am I not prepared for it, but what if I hit her back in self defense because I genuinely thought it was an attack? Verbal ticks like suddenly blurting out a random sound is one thing, but something physical needs to be managed on my part, which cannot be achieved without information. And if given the information up front, I would sensibly keep myself at least an arm's length away so that I can evade or react gently on time.
What an intelligent, inciteful young woman. She has such a wonderful, warm personality.
My son had similar ticks as you. Hooting like an owl, blinking in specific patterns etc. I was there always for him, since the world is not understanding of the condition. He is now an owner of his own company with employees. I'm so proud of him.
My son who's 7 turning 8 has started doing tics like this. He started with his mouth like yawning randomly then that stopped now this is the worse I've seen from him all this before he goes back to school where he didn't do anything before I'm telling him it's ok and he says that's he silly for doing it he randomly will just burst out with a back shrug and a mouth sound bit like Tasmanian devil. Reading your comment was so lovely to read
@@CCFC_86 thank you for your reply. I found that the ticks got more intense when he was stressed out. I would ask him in a calm way if everything was okay and if I could help in some way. I think this helped to give him the security that he's got someone to listen if he needs it. Eventually he will learn to control the ticks. But this is something that will take a little time. Good luck to you and your son . 😊
@@CCFC_86 I found I had a similar situation when I was about 9. It is really a weird feeling that you feel you must nod your head or open your mouth like yawning. Eventually, they have grown away in my case.
I tic in my left eye instead of right like she does. Funny how it works
The pure, raw, unbridled, open honesty of this woman is breathtaking. She has more grace, emotion, integrity, personality and compassion in the tip of her finger than the overwhelming majority of people will ever have in their entire lives. If anyone needs to see what makes a person beautiful, this is it.
Relax stan
@@luddeTHEbunny Lmao fax
down bad
What a beautiful, well-spoken person. I wish her all the best.
Translation you wish her well because she's beautiful
Sweet Anita. She has a TH-cam channel.
@@aemonddaemon8975 cant argue with that tbf
She's WAY more well adjusted than most people I know. Including myself! Society is the problem; not this gal.
She is such a sweet and beautiful woman.
Only found out about her today. Such an amazingly lovely young lady. Totally agree with what she said about context and the swearing. If other people can't handle it, that's their issue.
I don't expect her to read this but - keep doing what you're doing, I'm sure you're an inspiration to a lot of people.
I can tell she has done YEARS of therapy.. I mean, look at her self knowledge!! Admirable 💛
You don't need therapy for that
@@roughtoughcocopuff9313 exactly.
You sound desperate and pathetic.
SamFreedom fr
@@SamFreedom Why? Whats wrong with therapy?
The story about her getting beat up is really heartbreaking
I totally agreed!! People can be awful!! Anita is hands down one of the nicest and coolest TH-camr!!
True, but clouds and silver linings. Could of had years of that followed by a a dead end job.
@@frankspencer6935 I'm living that, fucking hell tbh especially for an idealist like I an.
EU kids
@Jew what does that even mean?
She must feel so relieved to know how to explain that she is not evil, just a bit glitchy.
Glitchy is a real good example!
A few code line error in her matrix
Lol its a good example xD
7:00 Her glitches are adorable
@@brodiwheeler7583 whnever she gets on a taxi: 7:00 🤣🤣🤣
You're beautiful Anita! I'm so sad tohear all that you went through! But you're here now! And you're wonderful! Stay proud and happy with yourself! You're the most beautiful woman I've ever gotten to know ❤
And I feel like they purposely put Anita in that room that looks daunting and uncomfortable just so she would be even more nervous and her tics would flare up more often just to have more of it on video but Anita is a champ! She got through it all so brilliantly! We love you Anita!
No wonder why she's "Sweet" Anita.
Yeah, because she's saying F#*k of to everybody
Hey wait a minute......THIS girl is Sweet Anita?
What the hell I didn't even know, I just saw her in my recommended but didn't watch it. I have heard of her, just thought she's just another streamer.
Because why not? :/
Did anyone else REALLY enjoy this interview and also notice how assertive and with how much comedy she handles her syndrome?
Fantastic.
Well turns out she's a really entertaining youtuber and streamer.
She's really sweet. She just handles it with so much comedy. She has her ticksz and just keeps talking normally. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do it like that if I was in her place. I'm really impressed. I really enjoyed this. It kinda changed my mind a bit, because like she said she thought as well , I had those kinds of stereotypes. I didn't even see this before, I had no idea about her but thank god I watched this
I think she is more like a comic person in real life than a person that would hurt other feelings. I am a wieldo myself , anyway , so I don't mind having a friend like that to be honest.
@@Llucius1 Even if I wasn´t a weirdo, I wouldn´t mind having a friend like that either. She seems like a good person.
@@tiagoviana263 Yeah , as long as the peer pressure is dealt with , everything is alllllright !
What is her twitch and TH-cam handles? I would love to check out her content!
Depression is no joke and for 13 years.... wow. Poor girl, she seems like an absolute sweetheart
really sad, but when you think about it so many people are depressed for so long they just got used to it and think its life.
She mentioned a friend in the house broke down the door and managed to stop her. Crazy how someone like her got to that point.
My son’s Tourette’s started to reveal itself when he was 8. Every Touretter’s experience is different, his was a combination of large physical ticks, sleep vocalizations, and a number of organizational and learning deficits. School was a challenge but like you, he found ways to manage and overcome. He has learned to channel his Tourette’s into unique strengths that have helped him to be successful in his work, a loving husband, and a dedicated father. I could not be more proud of him. And I hope you have the same pride in yourself.
I wish so much I had parents like you. I have the opposite family. I can't begin to think about what I have to hear from my family about. It had me depressed for 2 years of my life. I was 11 or 12. It started to me when I was 8 too. I'm so proud of you, I don't know who you are but you are a absolutely great and wonderful parent. You don't know how lucky your son is and how much your support means to him and will help him through his journey until you see what a kid without that support goes through and how hard it is for them. You are truly a great parent. I hope you have a great life man.
@@theamazinganonymous7847 Stay strong bro !
The thought of someone being that depressed at 9 years old is so damn sad.
Yeah it affects you for life. I had been hideously abused and abandoned and beaten and gaslighted by ten years old. All the while kept away from doctors and other kids so as to keep my abusers safe from discovery. Evil people.
The saddest thing I've learned in life is that my story of depression from the age of 6 is in no way rare.
For real. And to think its normal today. But that's what the government in the US wants.
9 years of depression is nothing compared with ppl with lifetime chronic depression. That’s the worst one
@@IcanseeeverythingwhatyouDohere i said a 9 year old with depression, not someone with 9 years of depression. Also don't gatekeep being depressed
Had the pleasure of meeting her in person, not knowing who she was, I just happened to run into her while I was travelling, and she was one of the nicest, most helpful, kind people that I’ve ever met and I’ll never forget how she helped me out when I really needed it.
How much did she pay you to say this and what did she help you with?
@@drphot6050 he's in one of her videos where she talk about being drunk Tourettes and he's apparently sleeping at the road, very drunk, and she wakes him up and help him walk home. Not sure why you're being very salty about people saying she's nice tho
What's her instagram?
Bap
@@sofakingcool2422 uhm what language is that? Oh did you mean Pop?
I'm just jealous of her whistling ability, it's like a sound effect lol
That and the popping bubble sound…I thought it was a phone alert for the first few minutes
Yeah
I've been told the same... I don't have turrets but I practiced alot and played horn instruments
She is a living samsung notification
555th liker and 5th commenter!
You my friend are are Rockstar! The only people that should be judged at all are the ones who have tics but can control it. In other words every other person on this planet that doesn't have tourets but choose to hurt people anyway either verbally or physical.
Your a champion for people that have tourets and don't have a someone in thier corner.
Well done.
