Tourette's

Post Reply New Topic

Do any high school (or middle school, or college) Aspies here also have Tourette's syndrome? If so, how does yours work? (like, what twitches do you have?)

I have it, btw.

I twitch when no one's around, so I always assume I have it. No diagnosis.

Whenever I think of an unpleasent social memory, I twitch hardcore, and shout obscenities.

I only get tourette's while driving at rush hour

You can drive during rush hour? I end up parking. On what I thought was a freeway.

sure I think I can drive better then all the other drivers on the road
I am just kidding on that, I do tend to use the F bomb a little to much while driving

i have tourette's. i used to have facial twitches like raising eyebrows and such but i trained myself in junior high school to transfer them to less noticable muscle groups in my arms and legs and stomach. I still have ones in my neck, and one where i shake my head, and those give me headaches. Mostly arms and legs though.

I think I have Asperger's and Tourette's. I widen my eyes and tense up the back of my neck, like at the bottom edge of my skull, and I have recently been either coughing, laughing deeply or clearing my throat. They're more like compulsions, though.

Wow.. I get the same exact thing I never thought that was tourettes though.. Now that I think of it, it is an uncontrollable twitch..

Maybe I have it.

I have tourettes, i get weird facial tics, like smiling tics, i get thos someitmes pretty bad, my whole body jerks sometimes, got the shoulder shrugging thing, my head does this whole turn thing, a lot of motor tic problems i mainly have though.

Are the facial tics like raising an eyebrow and stuff just exclusive to tourette's or can other disorders have it as well? Can it just be a symptom of ASDs also?

To my understanding, several disorders, including ASDs, produce tics, as a side effect. However, a lot of these do this because the disorder gives you Tourette's on the side.

I'm not completely sure though.

By the way, Tourette's syndrome is on the spectrum, so it often comes packaged along with ASDs.

i dont get twitches but i seem to have unmanageable impulsivity
