I just signed petition! Unbelievable cause I have two vocal tics and I'd be pissed if I was him. Its against the law to treat someone with a medical condition like that.

Yeah its sad he told everybody what he had and yet the university kicked him out because he was being “ disruptive” it makes me so mad and sad

I'm disruptive too cause my two tics are loud. I've got the humming and throat clearing and my downstairs neighbor can hear cause floors and walls are paper thin. You can hear everything ppl say etc. Its really bad!! So I'm self conscious and completely embarrassed cause of tourette's. Its ruined my life. I wish the best for your friend as hes getting treated absolutely horribly!!! Hes in my prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you and i am sorry about that i know how hard it is my friends cause is mild but some days he has very bad tic days and they are debilitating for him . We need to raise more awareness about this misunderstood condition.

I'm the same as your friend. Some days it doesn't happen much at all and days like today are freaking horrible. I just want it to stop. It is very debilitating. Its definitely one of the most misunderstood condition in the world.

Yes I'm aware of what it is. That's gotta be so damn difficult for him cause ppl are so damn rude not understanding what it is and that it's not controllable. Its beyond frustrating so I know how he feels.

People stare at him i am overprotective people get mad at him for saying super rude things but i tell them he can’t control it. What i do is pretend nothing happened or ignore it or not say anything.

Ppl are rude to me too. I get how he feels. Especially saying the rude things cause I can imagine how mean ppl can be. It must be extremely hard for him. Keep sticking up for him. I bet hes so grateful to have you on his side.
