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 :)

There’s always someone else

Just another video of me blathering on about tics and stuff lol

This time I’m saying thank you to the two people who told me that they ‘distance touch’ things too and telling everyone that there’s probably always at least one other person who has the same odd tic/compulsion as you and that you are not alone!

Now that I’ve said that, there’s not much point in the video! lol

Silent text version of ‘The Degree to Which Tics are Involuntary’. This version is clearer, more concise and contains more information.

Some people have asked me why some tics can be held back while others can’t. Here is an explanation of the degree to which tics are involuntary. It also explains why some people say their tics are completely involuntary and uncontrollable while other people say they are more like compulsions and that they can hide them.

When I talk about the involuntary sensations, these are what are known as ’sensory tics’ and ‘premonitory urges’.

None of my videos are for sympathy, just for education.

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.

I also talk, in the second half, about the compulsion spectrum and obsessive compulsive disorder, although I haven’t given this much thought and don’t know as much about it as the tic spectrum.

Sorry that this jumps in the middle and repeats a bit - my camera switched off half way through. Sorry also that it’s so long.
