  • Ticing or Tourette's Syndrome is a strange disorder that causes semi-voluntary and twitchy noises or movements... but is it linked to autism?
    How does one cope with tics and what do they actually feel like?

    Thanks!! I have autism & tourettes & it sucks - though as I age I've gotten better at taking tic breaks outta sight. Also I did a lot of tic transference - to find a way to change my tic to something similar in its relief, but less socially disruptive. It took years, but it can be done. Xoxo love to you & all - stay safe & healthy.

    Good to have you back here 🙂 I think your advice on dealing with tics is really good. Just accepting them and not getting extra stressed because of them.
    P.S. you get my name quite right 👍

    How i like to describe my tics:
    Think of a mosquito bite. It will itch you and so you will feel the urge to scratch it. You can suppress it for a little time, but not long.
    I feel the urge to tic, i can suppress it for a short time. But i have to tic,

      My body can be still in silence, curled up in bed, lights off.

    When I feel a chill or get excited, I have this electric urge to twitch my fingers to vent the sudden energy. For whatever reason, the urge only comes about when I am alone. It feels almost euphoric to satisfy the urge.

    This video was very reassuring and informative. I recently came to realization about autism and how much I relate with so many autistic traits, tics have been happening and I feel like I couldn’t explain why or there wasn’t a good reason. Gonna show my girlfriend this so she can understand what I’m going through. (:

    I am autistic (as are two of my cousins and potentially an uncle) and I have two family members with TS (my cousin (not one of the ones with autism) inherited it from my aunt, it has a strong genetic link). The way they describe it is it's like a sneeze, you can technically hold it back but it's really difficult. There is a high rate of neurodevelopmental disorders in my family (intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, ASD and TS as aforementioned) and it seems like there's a high comorbidity rate between the neurodevelopmental disorders.

    Thanks for this vid. I have self diagnosed asd and actively seeking an official diagnoses, I have tensed my whole body when excited my whole life and learning if this is a tic and trying to change it is hard. Im trying recognize the body tense and covert it into a closed tight fist and shaking them really hard. I cant tell if it made me tic more or if I see how much I really do it.

      Oh wow! Good luck with that my friend. It's always hard trying to figure stuff out on your own... I hope my video helped somehow :)!
