@@SongLyrics-mh3wk Opposite? Because he developed a swearing tick? You're wrong. Connor is just as much as a good boy as Marco. He lives in fear of getting hurt by others due to his swears.
agree 100%: nobody here really "feels" these kids; you need to have experienced having tourettes firsthandedly and having to except that you're different from everybody around you to do that. I've had tourettes for 1/3 of my life btw.
Marco is the most beautiful little boy and he seems to be really hurting with his Tourettes (it seems to affect him more so than the other two) and I really feel for him because it kills me to see such a beautiful boy going through such pain !! If I could take away his problems I would in a second !! He doesn't deserve to be hurting the way he is (nobody does)
He’s such a sweet kindly boy, I think he’s having the toughest time with it emotionally, I love all these kids… recently met a teenage girl with Tourette’s, she is such a beautiful soul with a lot of tics that set off when a stranger whistled super loud.
That comment Marco says about putting all illnesses in a vault and then another vault got me teared up. The sweetest child ever! All sweet kids, hope they keep up their treatment and do great.
Right I'm gonna be honest, I have Tourette's and I'm the same as Connor. I shout really rude things about people and random sentences. He may be faking, but he also probably isn't. I know for a fact that when you shout things like that it's highly embarrassing and so not many people would actually want to shout that there's sperm in their coffee. Tourette's is also very hard to fake. Specialists know instantly when someone is faking because of the way they tick. If he has been diagnosed, how is it fake? Please don't judge when you don't know the situation, it's really hurtful. These kids are working hard to suppress and control their ticks, and people telling them they're faking can actually make them feel worse and put them off. Another thing, he's had them since he was younger. Not many young kids know what Tourette's even is, so how could you fake something you don't know about from a young age. Please leave him alone. It's just not necessary
I feel so bad for Marco you can see the sadness in his eyes, and when he has a tick and puts his head in his hands and looks so disappointed in himself. I feel so bad for him
We're like that too - unless my son is particularly stressed out about something, in which case he sometimes loses his sense of humour. He began using drumsticks at school (in class) and drummed on his legs to give him an alternative outlet for tics around I think age 14, and one day, one of the kids in the class exploded and said to him 'would you *ucking stop it, drummer boy?' Jeremy looked at him and shrugged and said 'sorry man, I have Tourette's, deal with it.' He can joke about it a lot, but again, there were also time when he would stomp on one foot with the other because of tics in his toes/feet (when he was younger). Heartbreaking.
She needs to stop laughing about it and discipline him he may have tourettes but they let him exploit that and use it as an excuse and let him get away with anything he wants to say or do he definitely knows when to control himself and when not to so that is the proof that he is just using the illness to be a stinking little brat you don't see him running down the street hitting other people do you he don't hit the cameraman he don't hit his grandmother he doesn't talk to his grandmother or people on the street the way he talks to his parents or brother rather than laugh about his disgusting Behavior maybe she should try disciplining him just a little bit
@@justiceBustamante he has tourettes and he can’t help it so that’s very immature of you to say. you can tell that he doesn’t want to say those things in the interview.
@@laufeygurl it's not just the interviewer he does not say that thing to strangers on the street he does not say those things that explicitly to his grandmother so he can control it to some extent and yes he may have some form of Tourette's but the parents are just letting him use it to quote get away with murder
I want to hug Marco. You can tell he's broken and beaten down inside by his condition and I feel sorry for Callum as well he's so young and doesn't deserve to have that condition. I have struggled with depression,ADD,and Anxiety all my life they are silent and nobody notices but these kids can't hide their condition I can't even imagine what they are feeling.
I'm sorry but i'm going to have to report you to the police. Raping is a felony and can be charged with serious jail time and imprisonment. Call a hotline for any further actions due to sexual contact with children.

Marco is absolutely, adorable and sweet. One of the most intelligent and introspective kids I've ever seen..! I would take him any day tics and all. He is a blessing.
I just love how Connor's family manages the situation. They're so loving and caring. The fact that they can laugh about it is so impressive. This is how a family should work! Also I take my hat off to all the other families who are strong enough to handle this condition.
I am a girl and I have Tourettes, it started with my eyes, from then on it got worse and worse, we people with Tourettes don't have a specific sort of tic that we all do, sometimes, I do something strange like, I started screaming EW in a squeaky voice whenever someone farts, burps, coughs, sneezes... etc. I also have neck tics which I move my neck around and sometimes I even hear my neck crack, and then my neck hurts for hours, and it really isn't fun. At school, when I do my tics, boys in my class stare at me in strange ways. One boy made me cry in the bus, even after I told him he continues to make fun of me. So you people who make fun of people with tics, you have no idea what it feels like to not be in control of your own body. So mind your own business and let us live.
I know it sounds s weird but I have thw literal same thing...kind of like I do this weird thing were I my tongue makes a clicking noise in my mouth and I move my neck in a weird way and it hurts after awhile and for my eyes my right eye looks to the to right and I blink really hard and it might sound not that bad but its extremely noticeable and I think its funny
Dimitra, I don't know what grade you're in, but my second son (of four) has Tourette's, and what really helped him control his tics was drumming - first, he played the guitar, and would have it in his hands anytime he could. He had JUST started taking lessons, so it was somewhat annoying at first, but we got used to him playing with his electric guitar on the couch whenever we were watching tv, talking, etc. Over time, he got really good, but eventually switched to Bass guitar, then drums; the drumming not only gave him an outlet for the painful/stressful tics he had (he did a squinty thing with his eyes too, and would have foot tics, sucking in his breath, snorting, finger and hand tics, and if he got a cough, the cough would turn into a tic, and he'd try to suppress the coughing tic by scratching at spots on his body until they were too raw and then he'd start picking at another spot). Once he started to learn drumming, he discovered that bringing his drumsticks everywhere (including into his classes) he found that keeping his hands busy gave him something else to focus on and another outlet for some of his tics. It really hurt him physically in his neck and chest, especially, when his tics were bad, so it was amazing that he found a 'replacement' behaviour. He has so many sets of drumsticks that I still find them in/under my couch, in my car, anywhere he's been when he visits us (he's grown up now). Not saying you should pick up drumming, but maybe even trying a musical instrument that suits you may give you some relief. :) Hang in there - it DOES get easier to cope with; my son still has what he calls 'ticky days' where his tics are extremely bad, but he works as an automotive apprentice now, and manages just fine :)
Dimitra Digaletos I am also a girl with Tourettes, and my tics act up when I’m angry, sad, tired, over-excited, or bored. And it usually happens in public. It seriously sucks I hate it.
Dimitra Digaletos I am a 15 year old girl with TS. I just recently got the diagnosis because I didn’t have a vocal tic until this year when I started holding my breath at the deepest point possible. I also have coinciding disorders (Anxiety, depression, Aspergers). I’m very grateful that my tics aren’t obvious/noisy and for the most part I can mask them well. Most of mine are uncontrollable muscle jerks, eye twitching, neck movements, and one where I lift my leg off of the ground higher than normal when walking. But I have a terrible fear of developing a tic that’ll be noisy, or one that people will tease me for. Any tips to help me get over this fear??
Sahonan Too funny! I'm laughing at break with my ear buds on and everyone is looking at me. And I'm not saying why. I think I know how the boys feel. Thye are precious boys💖
Connor seems so sweet it must be so hard for him to not be constantly judged by people, They probably think he's disrespectful and rude that's what's sad
i love marco hes such a sweet boy and handsome and smart hope it gets better for these children that they have a happy life and to there parents i think they r just wondeful how patient and loving they r
People don't seem to get that Connor's tic trigger is likely people drawing attention to him. When people address him, when they stare at him, when the camera is on him, when they scold him, it just brings up more stress and more of that burning "I need to do this" feeling. Experts say that tics in response to triggers can come across as intentional, but aren't. I'm sure there are times when he's playing around and making fun of himself like when he gives the camera the middle finger with both hands and a big grin in the car, but how can y'all be dumb enough to doubt him for having the most widely known symptom of Tourette's of all time?
I think it's because most people with Tourette's and copralilia blurt out swear words or short sentences irrelevant, or out of context, to what the situation is - in Connor's case, a lot of the times he swears or is rude it seems to match the situation. He even says that the swearing and nasty phrases he uses DON'T give him relief; usually expressing the tic gives them a brief sense of relief. I can see he DOES have copralilia, but wonder if it's an Obsessive-Compulsive behaviour causing the verbal outbursts when they ARE in context with the conversation or situation he is in.
How can y'all? Because "the most widely known symptom of Tourette's of all time" is NOT making up full, premeditated, logical, contextually fitting, insults. Make the effort to actually research some people who do make vulgar outbursts as a symptom of Tourette's and even a non-expert will quickly see the difference. Connor is not faking anything - he is simply presenting the behaviour of a psychopath - and he simply repeats what his therapist, in her ignorance, has taught him about TS. 'Psychopath' is not an insult, incidentally. It is a term for a mind that behaves outside the limits of what is generally considered healthy or normal. It means 'sick mind', not evil mind, bad mind or deranged mind. Excessive use of legitimate terms as insults tends to make many people misuse them in ignorance.
Tim Tam Memes And Games Lol I own a shirt that says that and I was in Walmart and I have one tic that makes me fall on the floor and I fell right next to someone's cart and I was wearing the shirt and they saw it and the lady said ok no problem😂😂
Nikky IDC circumstances, if it makes sense in the situation then take it with a grain of salt, it could be real it could be a tic, I’m not an expert though so I could be wrong
Jason Chow how ignorant... These beautiful kids are in such pain... They have felt more pain and stress in one day, than most grown ups do in a year... I feel quite sorry for you for not being able to feel empathy or understanding for others, like you've just displayed by that rude comment.. I very much hope that one day, you can be a kind understanding human.. ❤
Jason Chow this somewhat crossed my mind. Connor doesn't at all resemble the other cases of kids with Tourettes. Connor just comes off as just extremely obnoxious while the others ticks and movements seem extremely random and mostly make no sense. Connors supposed ticks and are very specific, relevant, and articulate. And other kids express extreme regret and humiliation, and Connor seems quite entertained and truly appears to be enjoying himself.....
Well I don't know about you but curse is an expletive and they nearly universal across the board and several are used as English slang for multiple meanings so whether you have Tourettes or not,. shouting or writing a expletive requires context for comprehension of the overall situation and its actually specific meaning for that person's explicit personal use of the word.... In language, context is law.
Marcos introduction in the beginning made me cry. How he wants to be a doctor and save a life and he understands there is no cure and he just wants to accept it oh my heart goes out for these boys ❤
Gosh, I adore Callum's mum! She is absolutely amazing! Aids him in his journey to control his ticks and encourages him to achieve his dream of being an astronaut all at the same time! Amazing!
i dont know but he is. Thats not howTourettes is.. I know people with the condition and i know its different for everyone but you can clearly see something isnt right. or i should say wrong. lol.
I understand what these kids are going through because I am also a victim of tourette syndrome. I was diagnosed at age 6 and have been struggling with it ever since.
This made my heart melt. These are such strong, brave boys to share their struggles with the world! Their raw emotions were overwhelming to watch. God bless them and their families!
Honestly, that's a brilliant idea. Can we get someone to set him up on twitch live. The amount of donations Connor would get. It'd be a great way for him to earn donations and make the best out of his life
It’s been three years since the documentary was broadcasted, I am so curious about how are they now. I really really hope all of those guy are getting way much better. I really want to know how’s Marco now because he was so upset and frustrated, bless you kid! ❤️
everyone is talking about marco and conner, who are both so sweet. but the light needs also to be shined on calum. i’m so proud of all of these boy’s for their progress.
I used to watch this documentary a lot when I was a teenager because I was very fascinated on the condition. Little did I know later as an adult, I would be in a relationship with a wonderful man who also has Tourettes. I love him and his ticks. I always tell him that whenever I don’t see him, I actually miss his ticks because they remind that he’s there with me and that I’m there with him. They’re my way to him ❤️
My son had tourettes and when he hit puberty it went about 95 percent away. He is 30 now and other than a few eye blinks you don't even notice he has it. I pray that for these young boys.
For all the people judging Connor saying he's "faking it" or using it to act out, simply because it's not what "other people with Tourette's do." In case you haven't noticed, the ticks they get are so incredibly different from one another. Just because his tick doesn't work the way you think it should, doesn't mean he's faking it. I mean for all I know, he could be lying, but that still doesn't give me the right to judge without actually knowing. I think it's hard enough already for him, he doesn't need inconsiderate comments like yours.
wtf. those parents that "live in fear" of their kid's next tic being swearing? I would be more concerned about physical tics that could have the potential to be dangerous.
I hope Collum makes it to space someday! His space suit with the little American flag is so cute. Marco is adorable, as many of us have said. Collin has a great sense of humor and you can tell he is a sensitive soul. I loved watching them bowl and having a great time. They all deserve to live well and be accepted just as they are.
Of course it's impossible not to laugh out loud at some of Connor's stuff (- think it's maybe because he's very bright & good with words..), but feel for him too. They're all clearly really good kids and trying so hard- also blessed with incredibly loving families!
i'm not an expert but i like watching documentaries about tourette's syndrome. most people have it almost like it's a sneeze or a hiccup, something fast that comes without time for them to process what's happening. but connor just. looks like he's completely aware of what he's saying and doing, almost like it's something he has elaborated. (13:40 and 13:51 for example)
I can relate! I myself also have tourettes syndrome. And I've been bullied all my life because of it. I used to go to a christian school and I was accused of having tourettes by my preacher. It hurt me a LOT and he never apoligized. But im trying to move on and make new friends! And on top of that I also joined a new group for kids just like me!
you can see the sadness in Marco's eyes.. it literally kills me. there's even a sadness to his voice.. you can see the poor thing is miserable.
Why is it that so many British people don't know what the word literally means.
I feel so bad for Marco. He gets so frustrated and upset by his ticks. I really hope he becomes a doctor.
Purple Nurple me too
He's such a sweet and kind little boy.
Purple Nurple I get frustrated by my Tourettes too because I can't focus in class
Purple Nurple I feel for him. I get super anxious when I have to tic in public too.
I can imagine how annoying it is having to tick every 2 seconds and you can't help it.
Marco seems like one of the nicest boys ever. When he gets upset it makes me want to cry. I just want to hug him so bad.
Basil Boo 19:20 for sure lmao
"😭 I lost part of my son!"
*Happy music playing loudly*
IKR?!

And so cute

I used.to chew my bed I feel for him it hurts
When? (Time pls)
Poor Marco! You can see him flinch every time he 'tics' and is always so mature and kind! What a trooper :)
If no one else is going to talk about Callum i will. Callum im sorry you have to go through this and I hope you become an astronaut. ❤

IKR! and then he said he wished anyone else who had sickness could have their sickness go into the vault.
wow I really feel bad for Marco, he seems like he's in so much pain you can see in his eyes in the whole video..

Clarabelle Murphy Tourettes is a myth
*_NO IT IS NOT_*
I agree!
Well stated, Clarabelle. Ignore the trolls. Love, light and understanding to you, dear.
Don't you think that if the parents were a little more strict in public, the Tourette children will demarcate what they can do & what they can't?
I feel so bad for Marco you can see the sadness in his eyes, and when he has a tick and puts his head in his hands and looks so disappointed in himself. I feel so bad for him
Connor's nan seems like such a sweetheart! All these parents are so wonderful and patient with their children! Lovely documentary!
I imagine they're like hiccups. Those ticks must be really frustrating.
Dana K they are
They are
They are lived with for 10 years
They are
Or like sneeze, but you're holding it back so they hurt!

Yes, I agree with you. He is a sweetie. I just cried watching the video.
Mel Lyss my mom Had a Person In Her Class That Had Tourette's
I feel like Marco's tic occurs more often when he's anxious
LittleArmyNut when you have Tourette’s you often have more tics when you are nervous etc.
LittleArmyNut that’s how it works for me
Good job Callum! Two hours! Wow!
I just wanna give Marco a hug

Oh. That poor boy talking about seeing his father cry. "It breaks you." Broke my heart.
Marco is such an angel 😭. They all are, I cry :(
Marco seems like having tourettes Is the worst thing that could EVER happen to his life
The Cookie relatable
Of course, he’s just a kid. He just asks his self and god why him and why people in general. Pour sensitive innocent little boy.
"I've come for a tourettes meeting, not fucking aerobics" - Connor 😂😂😂
Dani Rain I was laughing throughout the whole documentary 😂 conner lol
Dani Rain Connor is faking it. Just like millions of people fake mental illnesses
Allie Love idc he's still funny lol
Allie Love How would you know?
I read your comment before I even got to that part and it somehow made it funnier when he did say it. :-D
People don't seem to get that Connor's tic trigger is likely people drawing attention to him. When people address him, when they stare at him, when the camera is on him, when they scold him, it just brings up more stress and more of that burning "I need to do this" feeling. Experts say that tics in response to triggers can come across as intentional, but aren't. I'm sure there are times when he's playing around and making fun of himself like when he gives the camera the middle finger with both hands and a big grin in the car, but how can y'all be dumb enough to doubt him for having the most widely known symptom of Tourette's of all time?
Valerie Lynn I agree and like every one else saying he is faking it isn’t called for when he obviously hates how he acts
I think it's because most people with Tourette's and copralilia blurt out swear words or short sentences irrelevant, or out of context, to what the situation is - in Connor's case, a lot of the times he swears or is rude it seems to match the situation. He even says that the swearing and nasty phrases he uses DON'T give him relief; usually expressing the tic gives them a brief sense of relief. I can see he DOES have copralilia, but wonder if it's an Obsessive-Compulsive behaviour causing the verbal outbursts when they ARE in context with the conversation or situation he is in.
How can y'all? Because "the most widely known symptom of Tourette's of all time" is NOT making up full, premeditated, logical, contextually fitting, insults. Make the effort to actually research some people who do make vulgar outbursts as a symptom of Tourette's and even a non-expert will quickly see the difference. Connor is not faking anything - he is simply presenting the behaviour of a psychopath - and he simply repeats what his therapist, in her ignorance, has taught him about TS. 'Psychopath' is not an insult, incidentally. It is a term for a mind that behaves outside the limits of what is generally considered healthy or normal. It means 'sick mind', not evil mind, bad mind or deranged mind. Excessive use of legitimate terms as insults tends to make many people misuse them in ignorance.
Having the camera on him while he speaks in an interview doesn't cause him to curse...only in public where he gets plenty of attention from others.
Valerie Lynn my sister has Tourette and the cursing tick is a kind of tick.
Marco is my favorite. He's such a gentle soul.
they should get shirts that say "don't mind me I have tourettes"
Tim Tam Memes And Games Lol I own a shirt that says that and I was in Walmart and I have one tic that makes me fall on the floor and I fell right next to someone's cart and I was wearing the shirt and they saw it and the lady said ok no problem😂😂
Omgosh
If I had tourette's I would wear a shirt that said that EVERY SECOND of EVERY DAY
Marco comes across as such a sweet, intelligent and kind young man. Best wishes to all these families as it has to be taxing on everyone.
"mum i feel fucking dehydrated" i feel bad for laughing...
*slaps grandfather with half eaten sausage*
Go home Google You're drunk I fucking dieddd
Same 😂😂💀
I felt bad too 😭
I laughed at that too then I felt bad for laughing
Honestly marco is so precious and i really wish i can make his tic go away
For Conner , when he's grown up how will you know when he has a tick or he's just cursing
Nikky IDC circumstances, if it makes sense in the situation then take it with a grain of salt, it could be real it could be a tic, I’m not an expert though so I could be wrong
hes faking it
Jason Chow how ignorant... These beautiful kids are in such pain... They have felt more pain and stress in one day, than most grown ups do in a year... I feel quite sorry for you for not being able to feel empathy or understanding for others, like you've just displayed by that rude comment.. I very much hope that one day, you can be a kind understanding human.. ❤
Jason Chow this somewhat crossed my mind. Connor doesn't at all resemble the other cases of kids with Tourettes. Connor just comes off as just extremely obnoxious while the others ticks and movements seem extremely random and mostly make no sense. Connors supposed ticks and are very specific, relevant, and articulate. And other kids express extreme regret and humiliation, and Connor seems quite entertained and truly appears to be enjoying himself.....
Well I don't know about you but curse is an expletive and they nearly universal across the board and several are used as English slang for multiple meanings so whether you have Tourettes or not,. shouting or writing a expletive requires context for comprehension of the overall situation and its actually specific meaning for that person's explicit personal use of the word....
In language, context is law.
Marco is such a sweetheart I just want to hug him and tell him everything going to be ok xxx
Marcos introduction in the beginning made me cry. How he wants to be a doctor and save a life and he understands there is no cure and he just wants to accept it oh my heart goes out for these boys ❤
marco is such a sweet boy, i really hope he grows up to do great things like he wants to !
Cornor needs his own stand up comedy show or something where he just insults the audience.
Omg I would pay for that lmao!!!
Loved how proud Callum was when he made it an hour. Good for you kiddo.
Marco and Callum are amazing. You can tell they are fighting really hard to get better.
Gosh, I adore Callum's mum! She is absolutely amazing! Aids him in his journey to control his ticks and encourages him to achieve his dream of being an astronaut all at the same time! Amazing!
98% of ppl think Conner is faking and the other 2% think hes hilarious and I'm just confused
Kenzie Brooke . he is not faking that all.
poor conner
No he is because no torrented last for 10 mins
why tf would a little kid fake something like that for so long? thats rediculous
i dont know but he is. Thats not howTourettes is.. I know people with the condition and i know its different for everyone but you can clearly see something isnt right. or i should say wrong. lol.
I understand what these kids are going through because I am also a victim of tourette syndrome. I was diagnosed at age 6 and have been struggling with it ever since.
How are you now?
This made my heart melt. These are such strong, brave boys to share their struggles with the world! Their raw emotions were overwhelming to watch. God bless them and their families!
I LOVE Callum's relationship with his mom.... seeing him in the library at the end made me so happy for him.
I just want to hug, Marco. Just cried every time I see him frustrated of his tics. :( I hope they get well sooner and enjoy their lives in the future.
Oh my Callum has come such a long way I'm so proud
Connor is the real OG honestly 😂😂
Kimmy Fangirl ikr 😂💀
Kimmy Fangirl Yassss
Connor murphy his biggest fan and hater
I seriously hope Marco gets more help and love.
A ten year old should not suffer from such low self esteem and depression.
If Connor had a gaming channel he would get so many views.
BoredGames yea
BoredGames I would watch that everyday 😂
Honestly, that's a brilliant idea. Can we get someone to set him up on twitch live. The amount of donations Connor would get. It'd be a great way for him to earn donations and make the best out of his life
I'd watch it lol
BoredGames when he does reaction videos he gets 2x the views
Connor's parents got some great patience. I know my parents would probably beat me if I did those things.
Well yeah because you can help it
Beautiful to see the love and support for the children. Congratulations on not letting the disability overcome you!
It’s been three years since the documentary was broadcasted, I am so curious about how are they now. I really really hope all of those guy are getting way much better. I really want to know how’s Marco now because he was so upset and frustrated, bless you kid! ❤️
I’ve lost part of my son..
*happy music intensifys*
Lmao
I feel fucking dehydrated 😂😂😂😂
Braylon Mc when I was scrolling down conner the second said that I'm serious lol
17:25 😂😂😂 when Connor slaps his dad, I couldn't help but notice the guy in the back trying to hide his laughs
everyone is talking about marco and conner, who are both so sweet. but the light needs also to be shined on calum. i’m so proud of all of these boy’s for their progress.
They are all precious and should be protected.
I used to watch this documentary a lot when I was a teenager because I was very fascinated on the condition. Little did I know later as an adult, I would be in a relationship with a wonderful man who also has Tourettes. I love him and his ticks. I always tell him that whenever I don’t see him, I actually miss his ticks because they remind that he’s there with me and that I’m there with him. They’re my way to him ❤️
Bless you for loving someone with TS! They have human needs and deserve love just like everyone else.
happy for you
all of these young men are such sweet souls! and the support from their families is great to witness. i hope they're all well!!!
My heart goes out to all of them, and all of their families that stick by them and go thru it with them.
My son had tourettes and when he hit puberty it went about 95 percent away. He is 30 now and other than a few eye blinks you don't even notice he has it. I pray that for these young boys.
I developed tics when I was about 5 or 6. For me it was different :/ when I hit puberty my tics got worse :') maybe it's different for girls idk
Bc hes getting less and less vaccines.
Marco is just the cutest little boy - this story made me so so sad
Luke younger brother is so matured beyond his age.. when he's talking of his brother Connor
Yep
Yup, I thought the same. He'd pretty much have to have a sophisticated outlook given how he has to live with this situation.
"for fucks sake we aren't adolf hitler" That's actually great LMFAO
I died at "THEY PUT SPERM IN MY COFFEE"
5:14 I love this kid "do we get 15 quid off because I'm a freak."
They're all so sweet and one of a kind ❤ Connor is very amusing and lifts my spirits!
These boys are actually so lovely. This makes me cry.
I hope Conner doesn’t learn the N word💀
Gianni Dunlap right
Girl of Many Vloggities wtf are u talking about stfu
Wtf kinda comment is that? What if learns any racist word? What makes you special? That's the dumbest comment I've heard all year dude.
my son went there but, it didn't last long...and to boot his best friend is brown
Omgosh. Ikr.
For all the people judging Connor saying he's "faking it" or using it to act out, simply because it's not what "other people with Tourette's do." In case you haven't noticed, the ticks they get are so incredibly different from one another. Just because his tick doesn't work the way you think it should, doesn't mean he's faking it. I mean for all I know, he could be lying, but that still doesn't give me the right to judge without actually knowing. I think it's hard enough already for him, he doesn't need inconsiderate comments like yours.
Well said. Everyone is different and so are their ticks.
yes true.. connor may have ADHD association...but the tics are just tics. its difficult to film the tics.
Also, Connor has a type of Tourette's only 10% of people with Tourette's have. (I can't remember what its called)
I bet your boyfriends accuse you a "faking it" a lot too.
BlueRosie Coprolalia
wtf. those parents that "live in fear" of their kid's next tic being swearing? I would be more concerned about physical tics that could have the potential to be dangerous.
fancydeer can be just as dangerous, if someone took that the wrong way out in public it could be incredibly dangerous.
fancydeer my mum doesn't want my Tourettes to escalate into swearing
Yeah but their kid might accidentally say a racial slur or something offensive that could get them in trouble
I hope Collum makes it to space someday! His space suit with the little American flag is so cute. Marco is adorable, as many of us have said. Collin has a great sense of humor and you can tell he is a sensitive soul. I loved watching them bowl and having a great time. They all deserve to live well and be accepted just as they are.
Marco is so wonderful and breaks my heart he seemed so embarassed by his ticks...oh baby its not your fault
Marco is absolutely melting my heart.... 😔
Such wonderful kids. I hope they'll get their tourette better. I got it really emotional by watching this.
Marco... you are awesome dude!
I didn't like Marco's principal or teacher, if you listen closely you can heard her say "you need to stop" to him in the assembly thing.
What's Up? No tf u didn't because what she said was inaudible😂
she said "you know you don't need to stay" and that was the only audible part of her speech
What's Up? She said you don’t have to stay if you want and then he went to go to oragami
yes people are idiots to these children many times in the documentaries.
Of course it's impossible not to laugh out loud at some of Connor's stuff (- think it's maybe because he's very bright & good with words..), but feel for him too. They're all clearly really good kids and trying so hard- also blessed with incredibly loving families!
i'm not an expert but i like watching documentaries about tourette's syndrome. most people have it almost like it's a sneeze or a hiccup, something fast that comes without time for them to process what's happening. but connor just. looks like he's completely aware of what he's saying and doing, almost like it's something he has elaborated. (13:40 and 13:51 for example)
Connor is such a fucking savage.
Spaghetti Ninja thanks now I'm hurgry!🍝🍝🍝🍝
He’s comin for everyone’s wigs
Connor's nan is an angel
I'm so happy for callum😭i wish the other boys good luck
All three of these boys are just the most precious things ever. Marco....I mean....just the sweetest, kindest most precious boy I've ever seen!
Connor : *try to not punching the box*
Also connor : * kick the box instead *
I can relate! I myself also have tourettes syndrome. And I've been bullied all my life because of it. I used to go to a christian school and I was accused of having tourettes by my preacher. It hurt me a LOT and he never apoligized. But im trying to move on and make new friends! And on top of that I also joined a new group for kids just like me!
