Book review (Tictionary) and important advice for parents of rage-prone children
As requested, some recommended reading in the form of a book called ‘Tictionary: A Reference Guide to the World of Tourette Syndrome, Asperger Syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for Parents and Professionals’ by Becky Ottinger.
The second half of the video is some important advice to all parents and carers of any children who suffer from rage attacks. I speak from experience as the sufferer. (When I say ‘for the rest of their lives,’ from my own personal experience I obviously can only say ‘for many years’ but it has had a deep impact on my and keeps haunting me when I feel really down.
Sorry the lighting isn’t very good and that my head is half cut off!
None of my videos are for sympathy, just for education.
This is not a comedy. If you are looking for something to laugh at, please go elsewhere.
If you have any (polite, respectful, genuine, mature) questions, please go ahead and ask and I’ll do my best to try and answer them for you

I’ve wanted to do this for a while - a visual represenation of what I feel (not see) all the time and how I touch things (or ‘distance touch’ things - see videos ‘Complex phantom tics’ and ‘Synesthesia relating to Tourette’s’) in order to ‘even things up’ and try to get rid of the ‘patches of tension’ (phantom tics).
Just another video of me blathering on about tics and stuff lol
Sounds like an advert for floor cleaner!
Some of my facial tics a year ago while playing on my Game Boy.
Silent text version of ‘The Degree to Which Tics are Involuntary’. This version is clearer, more concise and contains more information.
Occasionally when I’m walking I get a tic like this.
Many people think that tics and compulsions are on different ends on the same spectrum. Although they are connected in some ways and people with either Tourette syndrome or obsessive compulsive disorder will often have traits of the other, tics and compulsions are different in that they are responses to different things.
This is the day after the video about tic increases after watching the documentary ‘Teenage Tourette Camp’.
This is in response to the people who have asked me if I have any vocal tics as none are apparent in my videos.
