Real Tourettes Reacts To Fake Tourettes On TikTok | Ticsandroses Edition

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ธ.ค. 2024
- Hi everyone! Today my fiancé and I who have Real Tourettes react to fake tourettes on tiktok - specifically the tiktoker icsandroses. Ticsandroses faked tourettes and we react to some of their videos showing why it is harmful to fake tourette syndrome.
Just a disclaimer: TicsandRoses uses THEY/THEM pronouns, and I believe we might have accidentally slipped up a few times in this video.
As a girl with Tourette's, I would love to spread awareness and education about my disorder, as I feel it is quite misunderstood in today's society. The media has made it out to be a swearing disorder only, which is far from true. I hope this video will educate you on Tourette Syndrome and tic disorders! Life with Tourettes can be difficult, but just know that we're the same as everyone else...except for the fact we tic like clocks! (:
Thanks for watching!

Hey friends! Just a heads up - Will and I have since broken up from when this video was filmed. I appreciate all the love towards our relationship in the comments, but we are no longer together (he cheated oop) and there will be no further content posted with the two of us. Thank you for understanding 💕
I’m so sorry he cheated you deserve better
I'm so sorry
Soz man
Oh. Well, I hope you find someone like you. (personality wise)
I'm so sorry this situation happened to you. Being cheated is never a nice feeling (I would know as I have been cheated on) and people don't deserve to be cheated on
“Of all people don’t apologize to me” when he said that to her was EASILY my favorite part of this video. He gives her the freedom to be herself, the good or bad and loves her so unconditionally.
😢
And the smile he had kind of finding it funny awww that’s a healthy relationship you can tell they’re fully supportive of each other & even though they can trigger each other, find comfort in being together 💕 couple goals for sure
They are so ridiculously adorable and wholesome together 🧡
wow so much unconditional love. he ticks and video still continues.
oh apparently he cheated on her lol. Feel intelligent?
When her told her she didn't need to apologize around him 😭😭😭😭
I noticed her apologizing a lot before and I was like “you’d think she’d realize she doesn’t need to apologize to someone that also has Tourette’s” but I get that it’s just out of habit cause I do the same thing
I know I stopped everything and told my cousin about it because it made feel so happy
AAAAAGHHHH MY BRAIN HURTS
@@BeatLovr10 what
Sooo sweet
I love you guys so much lol. When he said "We are actively...FUCKING OFF" my soul left my body lol. That one got me good lol.
I hate to admit it but I laughed out loud when he said something like “just fucking die” I’m sorry but I did laugh.
It kind of sounds like a bit of his own mind reacting to them. IE his brain is so fed up so it felt the need to say "We are actively FUCKING OFF, sorry, NO." I'm not saying it's fake or anything like that, I'm just remarking on that tic. Bc it kind of feels like a subconscious drip of what he was thinking. XD
@@daammobandito7961 oooooh The boy wants a little something something
He just randomly flips off the camera too

The way you two speak to each other, is so respectful, kind, patient and loving. You both don’t even realise how much of an amazing example you are to other people in relationships. Complimenting him and calling him smart and him saying you don’t need to apologise. Wonderful examples of healthy communication.
And not just other Tourette’s relationships, but all relationships as a whole 💕
How do people find this.. seriously
@@akaSimplex It's very uncomfortable to watch and it all looks fake to a degree to me. I know it's real and believe I can pick the fakes, but it's just such a stupid looking/sounding illness, it also looks exhausting. I know they have broken up now, but I do wonder about the heritability of the syndrome, if they had children.
@@candydandy2694 what the actual fuck are you on about? That comment is demented
@@candydandy2694 demented comment
I’m so glad I found your channel. My youngest (7) daughter who is also deaf ( aided) just got diagnosed with Tourette’s this summer. I have been trying my best to do research to see how I can help my daughter. I found your channel a month ago and really been enjoying your content. My daughter has watched some of your videos with me.
She really struggling why she can’t make her “Hickys” stop. The other day she told me she wanted to watch the pretty girl who was like her, meaning you. Thank you so much. I would love to her some content on how what’s best way to support a small child with Tourette’s.
I don’t have it, but my daughter (9) has adhd, and watching people with it helps her, my husband also has it but he doesn’t take meds for it like she does, channels like this are very good for this, she also has an early puberty and anxiety, I would like to thank everyone who educates people about stuff like this .
Zara Beth is a new channel that might help your daughter as well. She shows herself at school and talks about some of the problems she has had. And some show her friends hanging out with her.
I hope your daughter is living a good life tho
And Carly’s natural positivity all the way through it, obvious care for others and animals, shines through so easily making her even more beautiful! 🥰 she’s definitely a great role model for your daughter and other younger girls!
Yeah. Im SURE your daughter asked to watch "the pretty girl who is like her".
Why lie about such weird shit?
Youre cursing yourself by doing that, you know.
I know Tourette’s can be annoying for every person having it but his tics look exhausting 😭
I have tourettes and my god it's exhausting
@kaifishy for real and sometimes painful too 😭
Ticsandroses damaged the online understanding of Tourette’s syndrome; because of them, so many people who actually have Tourette’s get fakeclaimed by random people who think that they’re experts, and it makes me so mad.
Yeah :( I had a Tourette’s education channel and got bullied off TikTok for “faking” even though I have a diagnosis… it’s infuriating.
@@intruderzitDon’t listen to the haters, keep going dude
Totally understand the whole tone of voice thing. I have a whistle tic, but get this, Idfk how to whistle unless it’s a tic 😂
Update: it’s been 2yrs and I can whistle now
100%
I can relate about the whistle tic, I’m so jealous of my tic, I wish I could whistle without ticcing
I don’t have Tourette’s syndrome but I have tics from like stress and adhd and I think ocd according to my doctor and they’re really annoying because I was with my friend that has Tourette’s syndrome and she thought I was mocking her but I can’t control it
@@Robloxloverrr16 I'm sorry. I have tics but not tourrettes. It's hard to tell people that when it doesn't happen all day
@@JesusLightsYourPath yea
as a mother of a 25-year old son with tourette i absolutely LOVE your content!
i'm literally disgusted by people who fake tics and make the tourette syndrome "a thing" just for getting attention.
my son didn't go through so many painful examinations by doctors just for fun!
he didn't cry so many nights in fear by knowing the next days examination will sedate him, he will be pinched by needles just for attention!
and he didn't wanted to be bullied just because he was the way he was!
i'm crying right now...NOBODY who knows the living hell with tourette would make things up "for fun, fame and attention"
he went through very, very dark times...and i MEAN dark.
but now he is fine.
it's his 25th birthday today and i couldn't be more proud of him like i'm actually now.
i'm just a mum.
with a bleeding heart...😢
thanks for reading!
p.s.
from first symptoms (at 8 month old) 'til the fact of tourettes disease we - and especially him - needed 8 years to get through all of what medicine is able to diagnose.
Hi from Brazil! I am a psychologist and your videos helped me a lot to understand how Tourette and Tics in general affects a person who has it. You guys look so cute together tho 🥺
Great praise there Carly
It's a neurological disease
I don’t even know if these people really have tics either nvm
@@Howaboutyes11 That’s the damage ppl like tics n roses are causing to people who actually have Tourettes
@@Howaboutyes11they really do. My best friend's tourettes looks exactly like his in the video. It's painful to even watch him tic and trust me it hurts the really bad
I have nothing but respect for you guys, you make me and many other people with Tourette's feel like they can be accepted and know that others are educated. THANK YOU❤
Thank you so much!! We appreciate that ❤️❤️
@@TiccingTogether you guys deserve the thanks. you have educated so many people on what living with Tourette's is like and why faking it is so immoral. keep up the great content❤
I don't know anything about Tourette's so I'm glad I found you guys! Congrats on the engagement :D
Interestingly, as someone with DID (a disorder that also gets faked a lot), this video is helping me vocalize how I can "tell". Much like y'all, I don't openly fakeclaim, because I can't technically "know", but there are things you recognize as someone who has it, and conversely, things you recognize are "missing"
I’m glad you found us too!!! I appreciate your insight ❤️
Not to make you uncomfortable but are you talking about Dissociative Identity Disorder?
(I am doing a little research about mental disorders, the reasons they occur, the impact on the person etc.)
@hebiiq yes, I have Dissociative Identity Disorder! I got diagnosed when I was 18, back in late 2016
@@snomberry Thank you for sharing!
I have OSDD1 (b, though that's not a proper medical term) and I pretty much feel the same. I hate fakeclaiming because some people do it with no research and end up spreading misinfo (mostly I only see people who don't actually have it fakeclaiming, aswell), but also yeah, there's certain things I see where it's like "yeah no, they either didn't switch or played it up for the camera" because holy heck if I can get the communication to get all my headmates in on playing up switches every time they front then give me a dang award.
Is apologizing after a tic a tic of its own? Or is it more like, a reflex? Thank you two so much for this video! You guys are such a cute couple :’)
Could be both, or one of the other. It depends and it can be hard to tell, but it's really only something you can know.
I was wondering if it may be a tic in itself, it’s definitely possible but I also can see it being out of habit cause I do the same thing
@@ferninthehouse It could also be a habit that has become a tic. Because that's a super common way of developing new ticcs
@@Oh...1tsSeven yeah
I have provisional tic disorder, and it's just a reflex to me. Especially with my coprolalia..
"it doesn't trigger fuck off" lol not gonna lie that one got me these two are great
🥰🥰🥰
as soon as i saw this comment the part in the vid played
Within the first 2 minutes..fiance` : "should I be worried about my safety? No! your sanity!" OHHH KAAAY.... Love these two.
Hahaha ❤️
Watching you guys suppress for that long was distressing 😓😓 I hope you're ok, take care of yourselves!
I have tics due to my autism and severe anxiety, this channel has helped me understand so much about myself! It feels very validating to see you and your husband who are the same as me, it makes me feel so much less alone in this struggle. Thank you for your educational content! Love you
I have tics without Tourette’s too and I relate to a lot about it
Hi there! Autism and anxiety do not cause tics, I would recommend trying to see a neurologist if possible :)
@@thegrapeentity7662 that’s not true. All it takes is a quick google search to disprove what you just said
@@ferninthehouse I’ve spent a good amount of time looking into and researching tics/tic disorders. While anxiety and autism are commonly comorbid with tic disorders and can exacerbate symptoms, they are not a root cause for tics. Tics can also be caused by more serious issues, which is why it is generally a good idea to check in with a neurologist to make sure there is not a more threatening cause that may be manifesting in tics
@@thegrapeentity7662 According to my psychiatrist they do. I happen to trust a medical professional who has looked into my case specifically more than a random person on the internet
Seeing him legit hold his hand to not throw a punch you can see the physical pain. By the time its to the end he physically is holding both arms. Thank you for being one of the first people I've seen with real tourettes. It definitely makes me feel more knowledgeable on the subject.
"We are actively fucking off" 💀
You guys were both able to really put into words what makes true Tourette’s stand out amongst those who are faking. Love you two together ✨
I haven’t got Tourette’s myself, I found you through looking into Tics and Roses. What I’ve noticed from you and other people with Tourette’s is that there’s a certain way you breath and jolt before a tic which they don’t do.
Oh, they use they/them pronouns [Tics and Roses] even though they are problematic, just don’t misgender them :’)
@@august.jpeg01 oh my bad. I didn’t know. I’ll edit my comment now.
@@august.jpeg01 She's not being misgendered when people call her she, as she IS a female. But she's also a narcissist.
@@AUThemeParksChannel I don’t think you understand,,,, like anything about what you just said
@@august.jpeg01lmao.. this is going out of control
A classmate of mine has Tourettes, and im so glad I found you guys so I can try and learn more about what she's going through!
So I don't know if I have Tourettes, but i kind of show symptoms like repeating actions and words- but I still don't know😭
@@slaypurrpookie i would recommend talking to a doctor if you’re worried and it’s messing with your daily life to figure out what’s causing it
OMORI PFP
That’s really cool of you. We need more people like you that try to understand people that are different instead of bullying them
So glad you both called her out!! I couldn’t imagine being in both of your shoes and then trying to “fake” Tourette’s to get likes or attention knowing there are people out there who have to live with this daily.
Thank you!
I so relate to trying to replicate my tics on purpose and failing miserably. It's so interesting how the tic never fails to be so determined, even though its origin is completely subconscious and involuntary. And also putting effort into suppressing, instead of effort into ticcing!
You guys are the sweetest couple!
Thank you so much for being so open and honest about Tourette's, because it really helps educate people in a way that they can very easily understand.
I find it disgusting that people fake any disorder, it's appalling and pathetic. Why would anyone want to fake something that so many wish they didn't have? It makes no sense.
I have some health issues that I have always been open about, and I have had people start saying they have the same things wrong with them, but I know they're lying because they can't even fake the most basic symptoms. I have walked away from multiple friends because of it. I used to lose it when calling someone out on it because I would give anything not to have to live like this, and it honestly used to infuriate me, but now I just remove them from my life and carry on because I've gotten to the point where I feel that if they want to go around acting like they are in chronic pain, all the more power to them.
Every single one of them has been caught in their lies because they all tend to forget that they're supposed to be in pain 24/7, and they have no way of explaining how for that moment, they are perfectly fine.
If people want to make complete asses out of themselves just got sympathy they don't deserve, that's on them.
P.S. Congratulations on your engagement and baby frog. ❤️
I can’t imagine what you two go through on a basis living with this condition mentally and physically. Thank you for educating us about Tourettes.
🥺❤️“Of everyone you do not apologize when you’re with me” y’all are such a beautiful couple!!
My antidepressants give me minor motor tics and watching this video is like setting em off 🤣
Oh noo 😂
I love when he says F off, like that TikTokr needs to do just that. You two are amazing trying to stop this fake crap. I really hope this video reaches more people. More need to be educated on this.
Omg Will is adorable!! Also in a LDR here! Seeing you guys together really reminds me of why I'm trying so hard to push past my anxiety and fly to my man for the first time! Also thank you for this educational video. I don't have Tourette's, so I'm always learning on this channel. It's also interesting to see the echo phenomenon as well, although this video did look extremely exhausting for you both. I hope you guys are doing well and taking good care of yourselves! Sending you love!! ❤️❤️
You two are cute, glad you found each other. I’ve been living with it for 40+years and it’s nice to see people dealing with Tourettes in a healthy way.
2:21 the way he just goes "okay 🙂" 😆😂🤣
FIANCE!!!!! how exciting!!!! y'all are so good to each other, you deserve a life of happiness together. congrats!!
"Of everyone don't apologize when you're with me" You guys are fucking adorable!😻
While I don’t have tics, I’m very glad for finding your channel to help me understand it. I’m very glad for you both and I’m very thankful for your openness about the truth about tics.
You guys are amazing! ❤
Thank you for this video, I know you help many people :)
I somehow missed the transition to fiance!!!! Congrats!! but also, I wanted to CRY with how goddamned adorable his saying that you don't ever have to apologise to him for your tics. so glad you both have someone who can love and support you!!!
Also I've had minor tics my whole life. And I feel how hard and embarrassing it is especially around others. I can't imagine how hard it is for you guys because I can physically see how stressful it is for you guys. You have so much respect from me and how strong you guys are
With tics and roses, wouldn't her motor tics also be repetitive? It looks like she does a different motion every time. Like, if she brushed her face every time she brushed her teeth you'd think she'd have a rash on her face or something. Idk I'm unfamiliar with tourette but I'm grateful for you guys being so open and honest about it 🧡
“We are actively fucking off” will be on a t-shirt soon. I seriously love you guys.
Thoroughly interesting and educational video. Thank you so much for putting yourselves through tics and roses and the increased tics yourselves to explain more about Tourette’s for us. Love seeing you guys together, you are a super cute couple. Xx
I’m studying psychology and neurobiology as a grad student right now. I would love to do research on how the brain looks during a tic in someone who has Tourette’s or any other tic disorder. You both mentioning the way the tonal difference in your voice during a vocal tic and muscle memory during your motor tics as being the the same every time they occur (and being unable to consciously replicate them) would be such a fascinating thing to see on a neuronal level. As a side note I hope you both take extra care of yourselves after watching these clips, it must be overwhelmingly exhausting to watch and hear. Congrats on the engagement by the way! ❤
bro i love watching these videos so much. i don’t have tourette’s but i have anxiety tics all the time and they make me feel normal about my random twitches and jerks
"We are activerly fucking off" well-said; same feeling whenever I see Ticsandroses. Love you guys, thanks so much for spreading awareness.
I grew up with moderate Tics/Impulses until I got better with managing my ADHD and Anxiety around 10 years ago.
I now understand myself better, and why under stress I still get tics. It's painful, and so exhausting, I related to a handful or two of Both of your physical tics, and how tense every muscle gets when you suppresses them or go through them. I related to how tiring it gets. Thank you so much you guys. This has given me so much more comfort than I knew I needed.
Hey! A Lil person with tourettes here! I have a tip for you, actually. I don't know how much it will work on others, as it does vary from person to person but not too much. Supressing them is the worst feeling and I don't think I've ever done that because I feel like I will die of the feeling if I do. And I've found a way to get away from it, I guess that's why I can't do it. My best tip for you would be to let it all out. When it gets too painful and repetitive alot of the times, let the tics out. Whatever your tics are and what your urge is telling you to do, do it as aggressively as you possibly could, as hardest as possible and then just let your muscles relax. And you never have the feeling again. Or. You could try to find Lil ways to tense out (or ease) of your muscles. Little but tight tics can help to satisfy the urge sometimes too. The key is to identity what satisfies your urge and what helps your tic to go away. I saw it somewhere online too, about when you are getting tics and you want them to stop, you need to find the best way suitable for every situation to let them ease out and satisfy the urge so it goes away for a good time. Second biggest tip is, get your focus somewhwre else. Take a deep breathe after you let it out and ease out your muscles, sometimes I close my eyes and just try to feel the sweat on my body or features on my body or the warm air or cold air, or the atmosphere, etc.. it really helps to let it out. Relax your mind and just... Ease it out. Tell yourself you're free and okay. Completely free. And then distract yourself, do something that takes tou away, like listening to music, singing, watching a movie, a tv show, reading a book too, likr not only this, JUST ANYTHING THAT IS YOUR HELPER AND LETS YOI FORGET ABOUT TICS. Because one thing I've noticed is, when I'm in social gatherings, my focus is on the social part, the people, since I'm not too much of a outgoing person but want to be one day. And I want to act straight, be sharp and talk sharp and all those things. They keep me so focused on so many different intricate things that we all have in social gatherings, that makes me forget my tics and I basically don't tic even once sometimes as long as I'm there. Sometimes a Lil bit comes out thi but it's so easy to ease yourself and forget about that and not accidentally trigger more tics. Keep yourself busy too. Idk what might help you, it's totally unique to you, but there's definitely a couple common things that help all of us.
Again, I'm sorry if this is long but I can't stop myself from helping people with the same condition and problem as me. People in the same community. I don't find you guys very often and because I have it, I know exactly how it feels. And I'd do anything to make sure others have it as easy as possible, I'll do my best to help as much as I possibly could. I'm sure everyone else with this problem would do the same for each other. Ad it's a very hard journey, and we know how it feels and how hard it can, so why not atleast be together on it. ♥️
Will scared me when he tried to punch us. 😂
My tics I just kind of move on after. I throw something and just go pick it up. I don’t giggle and go “oh look what my silly tics did”.
I love the constant middle fingers during this 😂 really appropriate lmao
thank you guys for bringing up this stigma and this "trend" up. you guys have been one of my favorite youtube channels for a bit, and as a person with a tic disorder, (not Tourettes) I always feel disrespected with videos like Tics and Roses. Thank you for showing people that this hurts and is bad.
I'm a 16 year old with tourettes and seeing the evidence that proved that ticsandroses was clearly faking this disorder for attention and clout absolutely breaks me. While I'm trying to hold in my tics all the time and being embarrassed by each one of them, she's narcissistically mocking the disorder. And as someone who doesn't get offended over some really big things, I think what she is doing is outright horrible. 😭😭😭 I wish all people like her were exposed and ashamed.
I agree, what they did was really uncool. It’s not like people with real tics cab just turn them off after they’re done filming. Overall just very hurtful. Sending you love & good vibes ❤️
And some who has tic's wouldn't type properly. Just saying..

Who you talking too? If your talking to yourself about that to yourself and question yourself, then go away, ty.
Edit: It's nobody's fault you don't know, can't read, write, nor speak, and can't respond in perfect English.
When you were talking about stigma, i really felt that. All these people faking various disorders on tiktok. Claiming to "bring awareness" and is just self-serving. I don't talk about my mental health problems/struggles online anymore. I used to openly talk about my diagnosis of things with others like me. Things diagnosed back in 2010 well before any of this. The amount of stigma they have brought makes me enraged. It's probably not healthy how much i dislike these people. It really makes me sad and feel isolated.
I love these reactions! It's so cool to see both your perspectives
When I was a kid in christian church, there was this girl who had it and she kept repeating a bad word that means butthole in our language (i'm brazilian). I felt so sorry for her, because living in a christian community was terrible, she got exorcized, people prayed "on her head" to take the demon away... She was aways treated like she had demons inside her... It was awfull.
Do you still know her? I feel so bad she had to go through that. Thanks for sharing.
@@mushroomsupremacy2081 no, thank godness she got away with her dad (divorced the crazy mother) and all I know is she's better now.

Also yall are such a beautiful couple, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE ENGAGEMENT!!
This is the most control ive seen in a video lately on this topic you two seem the most legit . So many seem to be milking this problem
I'm so glad you mentioned that you trigger eachothers tics. I always get worse when watching your videos and I thought I was crazy or being dramatic
I’m just now finding you guys and this video is amazing! I agree as someone with Tourette’s vocal tics tend to have to same tone/timing to the same type of tic. My “fuck off” tic always is in the same tone but my “shit you” tic is more airy but still the same every time i say that one specificly
Thank you so much for all of this~! You two are ADORABLE! I would love you guys to interact with Sweet Anita, who also has Tourettes, and talk about y'all's experience!
You two make me so happy, gives me a little hope ❤️
My brother struggles with tourette's and gets made fun of (regrettably, i used to mean to him as well before i understood what was happening) and i just thank you so much for raising awareness and working to break the stigma around it
This is so educational for me. Interesting to see your tics, to hear you explain them and oh that horrible fake. I guess your tics must hurt at times. Bless you both. You are a lovely, smart, couple. Wonderful people. Take care both, and keep up the good work on awareness
I'm sorry. but, i'm too distracted by Will's hair, it's so smooth and silky. And agreed, Tics and Roses are faking those tics for attention is just disgusting.
I can see how frustrating it must be.
I love the way you've introduced your fella. And I can see why you thought your tic was aggravating him, but he's not having it. ❤
You never need to apologise for a tic around him.... awe ❤
Super insightful video!! It looked like the tic suppressing was getting exhausting though ): but thank you both for sharing all the nuances you experience with having Tourette's!
Bro started throwing up gang signs during the flipping “there’s a FiSh oN tHe FLoOr” 😂 that’s was actually so funny
For anyone with the neck tightening tic; you can actually get injections that can help a lot. They're safe, not painful, and last for 3 months. You maintain full control of your neck and everything.... The only difference is that you can't tense up the ones in the very front (platysma). It disguises the tic visually from other people. It's also more comfortable physically. So if you're struggling with it, definitely worth discussing it with your doctor!
Wow I didn't know about that! Thanks for letting me know. I have really painful tics, some vocal and some physical. And it's sometimes really painful, the neck tightening one. Actually it is painful everytime it happens to me, as whenever it does happen to me, it's not light, it's quite severe. Tysm tho seriously. Anything that helps to stop this miserable tics is a huge help. But you can see from here, people with tics don't want them to happen. They take every possible opportuniity they could to supress them and stop them. What ticsandroses was doing was the opposite of that. It's true that people without it can't tell if they're faking it or not, but people who have it, can just tell. The subtle details and little things that only we know even tho we don't wanna. And it just screams to me that ticsandroses is extremely fake.
Good to know! I've thought about it but was nervous it would hurt a ton since the area is a bit tender. I may have to seriously look into it now! ❤
These videos help me a lot. I started noticing my tics about 1 and a half years ago and had started by thinking I was faking just because of the sum of people on tik tok who fake tics. I go through cycles of knowing I have tics just because they are really bad, and thinking I’m faking when they are subtle. The thought process of oh my brain is just making me do this thing because I’m lying. When that is actually just tics. The stigma around tics, and the people who do fake that make me doubt myself. I finally get to get a diagnosis this month though!
Similar experience over here. I am still questioning a lot because it started out with subtle ticks when I was 16/17 and it recently got worse at 21 and it confused me so much, I have huge Imposter syndrome bc of so many people faking it. Going to the doctor's soon to talk about it. Really glad you're close to diagnosis!
Hello! Coming from Europe, I don’t have Tourettes but I have tics which I developed at 9 years old (22 now), such as a hiccup noise, shoulder twitching and cross over my eyes and do some really weird stuff with my eyebrows… Been to the doctor’s many times but other than anti-stress pills nothing happened. I am so thankful to have found your channel because even though I don’t have it, it really helps me to see someone that has a conditions that really makes life harder and at the end of the day i’m just exhausted because the tics and suppressing them takes up so much energy. So I’m definitely a new subscriber to this!😊
Hi there! I don’t know if you’re aware or if this is just phrased weirdly and I misunderstood or what, but anxiety does not cause tics. I would recommend trying to see a neurologist if possible :)
This is absolutely perfect 😍 so glad I found this channel!!! My husband is so caring and supportive of me and my tourettes! and he showed me tics and roses because he knew she was faking, just from watching me experience my tics. I love the way you guys explain the tourettes, I didn't know that's what I was dealing with until I was in my early 20s. I'm on medication and it helps tremendously to minimize my tics. Thank you for standing up for those who are suffering and dealing with tourettes everyday!
Oh my god I had to drop in to say I LOVE the clip at the end! I have the Build-A-Bear frog too and also refer to him as mine and my partner's child 😂 Frog parent solidarity!!!!!!!! Love your videos!! 💖
Just watching you two and the way that you have come to accept Tourette syndrome as just a part of your life and how you still manage to find the joy even in the awkward or seemingly uncomfortable or painful tics is awe inspiring to me. Instead of bemoaning how unfair it is you have to deal with it, you just go ahead and deal with it while also trying to educate people about it! Thank you so much for being you!
We have an employee who has Tourette syndrome and his involves mainly face tics and entire shoulder tics as well as some vocal noises including belching.
He has even admitted to tearing a muscle before when the tic got really bad and sometimes throwing out his back as well.
I can’t help but admire how strong all of you are! And we all need to remember that despite the syndrome. You are all still people like us, you just have a certain life circumstance that makes you seem “different”. So faking a condition like this is absolutely shameful for ticsandroses and I am glad that people are able to see the truth about this
Funny you say about the tonal tics, ‘Sweet Anita’, who has terrible coprolalia, has an ‘Alexia’ voice she says some of her tics in and it is spot on.
i love how you guys are so nice to each other and sat down to make this, even with your own tics being annoying. people who make stuff like tourettes seem "quIrkY" and "DiffErent" really need to realize how damaging it is to the people who struggle and live with it every day
Yes! Those of us with severe Tourette’s often get injuries from it. It’s not all “cute” and “quirky” like people make it seem. It’s embarrassing and painful
This video was great! My tics are a LOT like Will’s which I’ve never seen in other people before so I appreciate that a lot :)
There seems to be a 'trend' on SM platforms such as TikTok amongst teen girls to say they have Tourettes or MPD. So sad when there's people like yourselves who are genuinely living with these conditions. It's great though that you're educating people via your channel. Well done and congratulations on the engagement.
I'm so glad I found ur channel u are so amazing and so strong. I personally don't have tourettes but I have severe depression and ptsd and I just love how u are so strong. That's why I look up to u for not letting ur illness keep u down. I hope that came out right
i obviously dont know much about tics, but one thing i’ve noticed between people that have been conffirmed to be faking and people who actually have it, is that the people faking will often tic, and then either laugh, think on it, and go about their day, and the people who actually have Tourettes get upset/physically distressed because of the tic’s interrupting, and also the repetition piece you mentioned, the fact that the vocal tics are almost always in the same tone/voice ! thats just what ive noticed, and if im wrong please let me know! again, im not an expert, and only have a few small tics i experience when im really anxious or overstimulated, but i would never claim to have tourettes or something more severe!
“Don’t apologize when you’re with me” I love you two together. You offer such a safe space and such love for one another. Don’t apologize to us either. ❤
Your channel has helped so many people. Thank you.
I never been around someone with Tourette’s . But I love watching your journey and understanding from someone who lives with it everyday . Thank you for teaching us
There was a kid who exclusively faked tics around me in my class, kids confirmed they didn’t show any tics other than me.
I dont have tics.
Your fiancé has got some aggressive tics, damn
It’s so sweet to me when they do each other’s tics. I’m glad you both have each other 🙏🏼
I know you cant control the tics, but the way he keeps trying to throw hands :w
*E*
“It’s not a compulsion…It’s just a ‘do’”
Should be used in ever description of this disorder.
Wonderful seeing both of you on camera! :) I bet this video could help a lot of other people with tourette's. I think all of your videos are so helpful in understanding it better. It makes me so sad though, that there are people out there faking it. Anyhow stopping with a positive comment: Keep on creating content! I love it! Big hug! :)
This was incredibly informative. I've seen several videos about tics and roses, but you have lent an incredible insight that I have not seen or heard. From your descriptions and only seeing you for the first time, I can tell from your movements (not knowing your tics or your general movements while talking) I can tell the difference in your tics and expressive movements...not like I'm an expert, but I have a deeper understanding than I had before.
The tics look almost painful...maybe due to your actively suppressing? I can see the exhaustion whereas she seems almost proud...kinda like what they call duper's grin in body language analysis, she seems to be gleeful.
Anyway, thank you for speaking so candidly and teaching us about your experience. And thank you for existing.
These are actually really interesting points! I really related to the point about muscle memory tics. I have diagnosed anxiety, and during more severe anxiety spurts or stimming, I typically have two tics that come out. Both are physical, one is a head flop, and one is a wrist flick. The wrist flick was actually adapted because I wanted to find a way to stim without throwing out my neck any time I got that way. But you are absolutely right, the motion and severity is the same each time it happens, like muscle memory
Edit: I should say that the tics came from muscle spasming and shivers that I get when I become anxious- its a way of stimming to express nervous energy
It must be infuriating to have to deal with this and have people faking it for attention.
6:35 is one of the cutest moments ive ever seen on TH-cam, you two are perfect for each other.
I watched a documentary years ago called something like "i hsve Tourette's but it doesnt have me" and thats been my ONLY window to this affliction. That doc was Edited, and featured children. Seeing a fully grown couple, two people who have evolved with their tics over many years and learned the ins and outs of them, is a much more RAW view of Tourette's.
I didnt even know how much i didnt know about this stuff, you two are really amazing for bringing this to light.
We all know TicsAndRoses is fake, but we cant say WHY because we lack the knowledge to actually explain the gut feeling we get from watching her fake her tics. Y'all have brought some amazing attention to this, i appreciate you ♥️
11:48 was just so wholesome!! ❤
Your insight, explanation and level of intelligence is awesome. Great content guys. Well done.
My thing is why does it take someone like Billie eilish to have this medical condition for things like this to become normalized. Like where were those who fake things then when people were block-minded about things versus now when people think everything's cool
That is super interesting. When you were talking about the vocal tics, I saw what you meant but it was harder for me to understand, since I have more motor tics. But the motor tic video did not convince me at all!!!
I love these videos! I do have tics and watching these sometimes triggers my own, but so worth it for the commentary
You two have such genuine warmth and love towards each other. You are such a beautiful couple. ❤❤❤
I need to do another reaction to them again 😅
Hey there been a while
For me it’s the ease of which she fits the tic display into her clean narrative. That alone is enough evidence for me (with zero knowledge lol)
I don’t have Tourettes, I have autism. I don’t experience anything that could be classed as tics, but I am a very fiddly and fidgety person. Weirdly, watching you two is somewhat overstimulating to me; it slightly increases how much I am fidgeting. Very strange, and I’ve noticed it happens a lot when I’m watching or listening to videos of others with Tourettes. Interesting …
Great video!
I think it might be a trigger for you ig, even I have autism and there are certain things which seem to overstimulate me as well (like which seems weird)
I'm autistic too and I experience the same. As you may or may not know, change can be overstimulating for us. So a sudden tic can trigger that. I personally tensed up a little every time they were ticcing
I have this thing where I sharply exhale, but it only initiates when I think about it so it's not like a tic. It always happens when I watch tourettes videos. It's more like when you think about your own breathing and then have to breathe manually (sorry).
Once it starts, it's pretty much constant. I don't know the cause if it. Sometimes it gets suffocating bc i'm constantly trying to force air own and when I inhale it's like it resets the whole thing. I just find it interesting how other people's conditions can affect responses in yourself.
“It can be a heckin’ doozy.” 😂
I love your vibes, girl.
