I'm in tears watching John cries remembering his painfully lonely teenage years. No one understood his condition and was made fun of, having to eat lunch alone everyday, no friends to talk to or support. Sooo sad. Like John, I was an outcast in high school so I understand to some degrees his depth of isolation and loneliness but fortunately I did have some friends. I wish John n others like him all the best of health, love, peace and happiness, they suffered much emotional pain already.
John, i remember watching your first documentary back in 1988 and i was like the rest of the population who couldnt help but laugh at the program. But even then no one really knew much about the condition. how brave and i do hail you as a legend as the first to bring this to the attention of of the general public. You have achieved so much, with no feeling of sorrow for you, only proud to see how you have conquered and even see humour in some ticks. My hat is off to you both!
I suffer from insomnia watching John going through all that everyday just reminds me how lucky i am and that what i am actually suffering from is nothing compared to john and all the other tourttes suffers around the world. John you are great man and you and i hope all the best for you mate.
Feel sorry for John. He seems like such a nice, genuine guy but Tourette's are holding him back. I hope he finds the love of his life who can accept him for who he is.
I love the way they and the people around them take it with a smile in their face. That's the best thing you can do, accept them for who they are and love them just like that.
When I saw him sitting alone, I just wanted to go back in time and sit with him, let him know he's not alone and he has someone who would sit with him just because of who he is.
I feel bad to laugh but I only laugh at the funny things like when they laugh togther but it really tugs on my heart strings when the one guy talked of his fear of being alone and not finding someone to settle down with.
Actually I didn't even think that you needed or wanted approval or anything. I was just pointing out my opinion, since I thought your comment was stating that the person above you was saying that making fun of "James, because he's wearing ugly pants" is okay, which he or she is not mentioning at all. That's it.
There are probably women out there (like quirky heavy metal chicks) who would probably find the un-malicious unpredictability of Johns behaviour exiting, maybe even masochists who would be turned on by it. Weirder things have happened Or someone who would persevere the ticks with the knowledge that they are giving him so much happiness after so much loneliness. Hopefully this programme gave him the publicity he needed to draw her out.
I wouldn't mind dating a girl with tourretes actually, as long as her ticks aren't violent (hitting and the likes). So I suppose the other way around is trye too
Thought about that yesterday. I was part-asleep when I managed to wake myself up when my wrist spasmed and it was almost like, "did I just do that?". I wonder if that's how it feels for them...
I feel so so sorry for John Davidson. But that Greg ... he loves the attention and this whole documentary has shown that he's only grown up with the tics because they were positively reinforced by his parents. It's so clear that he revels in the attention. But poor John, I feel so sorry for him, he had a fucking rough time. Puts my problems into perspective.
I would die everytime, but i think it would be a nice laughing, i would really like to be his friend! laugh together about some random things.. They are cool guys, how they manage their illness!!
u guys are great ,,, it take courage for doing a documentary i just Hope poeple could me more open to the Turrets syndrome .... nice at 10:30 joke ,, happen
Kids can be so fucking cruel, I hated it. I feel for John. I really do. I hope he finds the right woman out there for him, he'd make a wonderful husband, and a lovely father. There's always arseholes in the world, trick is to not let them get to you. Good luck to you John. x
wow.. i was just watching the other parts of this series, and now that ive seen this episode, and how lonley john is.. i feel like an asshole. :( fuck, im sorry john. love will find its way man.
Amen to that. Hes an handsome man and deserves a nice woman. But i still have to hold my laugh when they swear. But I think i got it under control now. But I think we all have to accept them for who they are and let them tic if they need to tic.I only tic a bit when i had my blackout from my low bloodpressure. but its like my tics have to keep up again. so im ticin a bit more but thats it actually. ye and just wakin up. thats the only time im realy ticin actually so long not so bad as them.
@johnny4463435 my sentiments exactly mate, thank you for you reply. this lady - i believe its a lady - that i quote is just saying it for the sake of just saying it, clearyl John here, has a condition that makes it difficult for him to intergrate with the rest of the society and go on and have a meaningful relationship, get married and have kids and so on and so on...what pisses me off, are people like @XAnneTinkerbellX who come up with all kind of shit, pretending to sympathise with him
Eh... What? He says that it's not okay to make fun of someone for something that they cannot do anything about. Then I asked if it is okay to make fun of someone for something that they CAN do something about. Jesus..

Keep your chin up john, you are a good man. Dont EVER lose that brilliant sense of humour pal. Good luck.

Absolutely broke my heart when he said "it can totally destroy you".
Feel sorry for John. He seems like such a nice, genuine guy but Tourette's are holding him back. I hope he finds the love of his life who can accept him for who he is.
broke my heart seeing john cry
Awww john is such a lovely guy. Even with turrets his got an amazing personality.
i dont know why but seeing the footage of young john eating his lunch alone make me feel sad,sorry for my english
I love the way they and the people around them take it with a smile in their face. That's the best thing you can do, accept them for who they are and love them just like that.
John, your an amazingly great person! I know for sure there's a woman out there waiting for someone like you.
John Davidson changed my whole perspective on Tourettes. What a nice guy he really is.
10:29 he threw a proper punch but without thinking he jumped in her care.. John your a legend mate... Decent bloke!
awww 9:59 "Sorry Dotty" Hes actually really caring!
John you're a lovely man, God bless ya mate
When I saw him sitting alone, I just wanted to go back in time and sit with him, let him know he's not alone and he has someone who would sit with him just because of who he is.
Everyone laughs at him, until they see this video. My heart goes out to you John.
Gregs friends are so amazing :) its adorable.
"Why would someone make fun of a person for something they can't help?"
Keep your head up young John! I wish I could have a beer with these cats.
When I saw John sitting alone at school I just wanted the go and talk to him and be his friend! I hate to think of people at school being alone:(
The ginger friend looks like a doll.
John's story when he was a kid is too sad.
Greg has some of the best mates in the world! good stuff!, poor John, feel for him.
Really nice bloke! Hope you find someone mate!
dotti took that shot like a champ!!...............lovely bloke!
Ah john hope you read these comments man cuz honestly dude ur my hero man
I feel bad to laugh but I only laugh at the funny things like when they laugh togther but it really tugs on my heart strings when the one guy talked of his fear of being alone and not finding someone to settle down with.

People who have cancer or whatsoever, has a cure ,has a hope. Yet his illness doesnt even have a cure, a hope.... utterly sad for him..
tourettes in a chinese restaurants: "SLANT-EYED! CINKY! sorry" *random saying in the chinese accent* "*Chinese Accent*; Egg FuYung"
