        @zazie @awesam17 @rednorth We're not quite sure all the kinds of tics he has, since he's always getting new ones every couple weeks. one of his biggest ones is snapping his neck to his chin every few seconds, and his new one is rolling everywhere end over end as a form of movement. I think he has vocal ones too, but that's mostly just uncontrollably whispering to himself so it's not very disruptive.

        @awesam17 Yeah it has wildly varying degrees of severity, sometimes being a minor issue, sometimes being a major problem. That's why I asked how bad it was.

          @zazie yeah... take that tourettes guy for example on youtube. (that's actually the name) I personally find that offensive. Like really offensive. I feel its the same as if you mocked someone with add. (Saying this at the risk of sounding like tumblr)

            @awesam17 It's perfectly reasonable to take offense to that, you have every right to.

              @northernnarwhal Thank you. I appreciate knowing that some people understand that its not funny to the people who have the disorders that others mock.

                @awesam17 Yeah, the "humour" of that video series is in really bad taste.

            @awesam17 Tumblr Complaining isn't the problem, it is that they end up hurting people who don't need to be hurt. You are fine. ^_^
