For those who have tourettes. Do you ever use filler words like "like", "uh" or "yeah" when speaking as part of the Tourettes? I do this sometimes.

I do, but I don't think I have Tourettes. It's considered to be a part of stuttering, which makes sense, because I'm pretty sure I stutter, but people just don't tell me.

Use of verbal fillers isn't a sign of Tourette's, just a sign of uncertainty when speaking.
