  • Hi everyone! In today's video you'll find out how to tell if someone is faking tourettes. Are people faking tics for clout? Why are people faking tourettes? Why did ticsandroses fake tourettes? How do I know if someone has real tourettes? These are all questions that I want to help YOU solve the answers to in this video. Faking tourettes is harmful, but so is fakeclaiming. So let's talk about it!
    As a girl with Tourette's, I would love to spread awareness and education about my disorder, as I feel it is quite misunderstood in today's society. The media has made it out to be a swearing disorder only, which is far from true. I hope this video will educate you on Tourette Syndrome and tic disorders! Life with Tourettes can be difficult, but just know that we're the same as everyone else...except for the fact we tic like clocks! (:
    Thanks for watching!

    "It's all in your head?" or "You're just faking for attention." are some of the hardest things to hear. And it doesn't help at all. Even if that is the case for someone, saying that isn't going to magically make them realize faking a disorder is wrong and that they should stop. All it does is shake the core of people who do suffer and make them question their own reality. Really, fake-claiming is so similar to gaslighting that it's terrifying because of how deeply callous, apathetic, and manipulative it is. Im glad you made a video on this!

      How do you mean, apathetic? No h8, I’m genuinely curious as to what you mean. Given the energy it takes to fakeclaim, surely ‘apathetic’ is the LAST thing they are?

      @@CatyaZamalodchikova1976 Sure thing! Happy to explain my perspective. Apathetic as in "lack of concern", specifically, lack of concern for the misinformation and misrepresentation people spread when they fake having serious and real conditions. It's true, often times people who fake conditions, such as Tourette's, do so by over-exaggerating the symptoms in often ways that disregard the legitimate struggles people with those conditions actually have to face in their daily lives. Often when these people are confronted and told to stop pretending, they react flippantly and show a complete disregard and lack of care for the harm they are causing. Furthermore, claiming someone is faking can also be problematic as well, because it can be really difficult to know what the reality of the situation is and often times people who legitimately hav conditions, such as this UA-camr, still are faced with people who are telling them they are faking it. This is also apathetic, as it shows a lack of concern and disregard for this person's struggles. It spreads hate and fear more often than not as well, which leads to the silencing of these communities where people live outside what society determines as "normal" behavior, causing a decrease in awareness. Therefore, both faking disorders and claiming people are faking them leads to a lot of serious problems, and the lack of care given to that issue is that makes those individuals apathetic. So it's less about energy spent by these individuals and more about the context of the word as it pertains to the larger scope of the situation. I hope this clears things up and answers your question :)

    I think we need to look at all things with an eye of discernment. I love your channel and I have learned so much from you, but I will never just blindly believe someone. The solution for me, when I think someone is faking.... don't subscribe! That's it. There's no need for nastiness. We don't know what other people are going through in their lives. Even if they are faking, that, in and of itself is a genuine and sad problem.

    I clicked this video praying that it was gonna be clickbait and that it was gonna have a "haha you actually CAN'T tell if someone's faking TS" twist and I was so relieved when that was the case. Fakeclaiming truly is harmful and I'm glad you're adressing it! I love your channel and I love learning everything I can about a condition that impacts my life everyday so I better know how to educate others. I'm only 16, and I've only had tics for a bit over a year (I got diagnosed with tourettes like a month ago), so it's all very recent and it's definitely been a journey to see the way people like me are represented and the way that my tics affect how I'm treated. What I'm trying to say is, thank you for spreading awareness for people who want to educate themselves and for people who want to know how to better educate others.

    So I'm disabled from Endometriosis & Cyclic vomiting syndrome, but I also have ADHD, PTSD, depression, and social, medical, and generalized anxiety, and I can honestly say there has never been one single instance that *any* of my conditions were even remotely positive. I've been told my entire life (im 32) that I'm different, and that me on medication is better than me without medication(specifically ADHD meds) and that I'm a burden, I'm way harder to deal with than my brothers, I'm not as good as my brothers, etc.
    I cant have children because of my conditions (I had to have a hysterectomy when I was 25, and I can't adopt since I can't take care of myself all the time, and definitely can't afford it since I'm on disability) I'll probably never own a home, I'll never feel "normal" and im constantly reminded that I'm not.
    Someone faking something that is so hard to deal with, idk I'll just never understand it. I'll never understand how someone could possibly sit there and pretend to have something, and then when people who do have whatever it is call them out on it, they'll sit there and deny it. I don't understand how they could possibly know that they are faking it, and still tell people who DO deal with it that they also deal with it, when they literally have no clue what it's like.
    Not only is it just plain insulting and hurtful, but it also spreads misinformation. I just don't get it.

    You are doing a great job raising awareness and to show what Tourette’s syndrome is like for you. As someone with a physical disability I can never understand why anyone would “fake” a disability or syndrome. Life can be awful living with a disability without then being told we are being told we are faking it and I think everyone at some point has been told we are fake.
    Keep up the good work, you are doing a great job.

      Think about how sad and lacking someone’s life has to be to WANT to fake having something that leads to oppression, victimisation, isolation and ostracising. To feel like that is something to aim for, to aspire to be. These are really empty, malcontented, sad people with insecurities and low self esteem. If they didn’t have those, they’d be secure in who they really are rather than faking anything. That’s why I think they do it.

  • @cherrysodalex

    i'm so thankful that you brough up the fact that other conditions can cause tics (or movements similar to tics). the amount of times people have fakeclaimed me for "faking tourettes" when I have never even claimed to have tourettes is infuriating me. i was diagnosed with adhd 7 years ago but only went on stimulants for it a few months ago, so my tics are obviously more noticeable now due to my medication. i genuinely love your style of educating :))

  • @GracefullyAutistic
    @GracefullyAutistic 2 роки тому +6

    As an autistic person, I really appreciate that you mentioned autism too. Because I have seen multiple people use the word 'tics' when what they really mean is 'stims' (which are completely different. You cannot control tics at all, but with stims you technically can stop yourself, but it's very uncomfortable for us to do that and overall causes more harm than good), and it kind of drives me crazy because it really does confuse people!
    I also appreciate you bringing up PANDAS as well because that's a pretty rare condition that tends to be mistaken for Tourette's or OCD, and so it also deserves more awareness. I remember many years ago seeing something on the news about a high school somewhere in the US (I think it was the east coast?) where a whole bunch of female high schoolers suddenly started having tics seemingly out of nowhere. I honestly don't think anyone was faking (and this happened long before TikTok was even a thing anyways), but I found it really odd for a large number of teenage girls attending the same school suddenly showing symptoms, so I wondered if maybe it was something like PANDAS. I think even Erin Brockovich was called in to investigate in case it was a biological hazard. But I honestly have no idea, never learned the aftermath of that story.

    As someone with autism who has heard “I’d never know if you didn’t tell me” almost all my life. I would hate to be fakeclaimed. I mean I already hate that “I would never know” stuff. I also hate when people say “we’re all a little autistic” I wouldn’t like for people to be autistic. It’s hard to live with.
    Although that’s not true. I’ve been fakeclaimed only once.
    I have pure-O OCD. Mine is just about intrusive thoughts. On a Facebook group I was in someone who was outed as faking later on they told me I was faking. They didn’t see me be an organization freak and only vent about my thoughts that won’t let me be. So they said “THAT’S NOT OCD! You have a messy room. You’ve shown it on your Instagram before!”

Having being fakeclaimed so many times or called an attention seeker, doubting myself also asking myself if I really do have Tourette's (after 30 years I should know better, but still find myself wondering) And you taking up the point of everyone with Tourette's having different tics because they are different people are really comforting for some reason. Also, I just want to say you seem to be super strong (I'm sorry for making assumptions, but that's the impression I got from this video) The importance of understanding how fakeclaming can utterly destroy someone is really important, and I agree 100% with you, that no one knows what goes in others lives, especially not online. Fighting to break a stigma is an uphill battle, but I'm sure that many people appreciete your efforts and stand by you in this battle. I know I will.

      Tics are not exclusive to TS.... And they can be temporary! Especially with OCD and PTSD.
      Trust your doctor on this one. If you can get into a movement class, like dance, pilates, yoga, martial arts, or even long distance hiking, you may find that they help put the tics into a "remission" of sorts. Stress-coping tics, or even obsessive spiraling thoughts, I have found respond really well to redirection and movement. I hope this helps you and good luck on your journey.

    I’ve learned so much from your videos but I’ve been struggling the more I learn. I have tics whenever my anxiety/panic disorders take over. I thought they were seizures and my neurologist has said that is a possibility when I’m at my worst but the concept of tics is actually quite new to me. I am in no way trying to take away from those who suffer from Tourette’s or Huntington’s syndromes. I am also on the autistic spectrum and a genetic disorder that affects all my soft tissues and my brain yet I still question if what I’m experiencing are actually tics. I’d be grateful to hear your opinion. It’s obvious you’ve done your research and are dedicated to awareness and empathy. I’m a little nervous writing this message but I ask because I’m a mom and my son is now 12 and showing a lot of signs of things I dealt with when I was young and brushed off as an attention seeker and a liar when the truth was I was just wanted to be invisible. I am trying to make sure he has the support I didn’t but I do suppress tics around him for fear of frightening him.

      @pianxtremeyt 2 роки тому +3

      To technically have TS you have to have those stims or tics for at least 1 year, and have to have 1 vocal and 1 motor (physical) tic.
      Don't feel bad if you think you are faking it, that is what a lot of people who get diagnosed with TS feel. I felt that way too. TS tics are not bad ALL the time, and that is what makes it hard for those who are wondering if they themselves have TS. Anxiety tics are more forced than TS tics, which come out naturally. If you have repetitive tics, then that may also be a factor of TS.

I prefer your approach of kindness. I have a neighbour woman approximately 70 who does not display any tics that I have read about on the Mayo Clinic website or other medical websites on Tourette Syndrome. This neighbour will say unkind things not as a tic but as an opinion. When she is asked to stop and show kindness she claims to have tourettes. I am educating myself and want to have empathy. But I also need to protect/distance myself from an abuser.

    if i were going to fake a disability it would not be a mental disorder. Life is much harder if you have tics, schizophrenia, or anxiety as society stigmatizes people with them. If i were going to fake a disability it would something that has to do with pain because people generally have more compassion for people who are in pain. I was diagnosed with Paranoid schizophrenia as a child and I have vocal and motor tics. If it werent for my motor tics I would be able to successfully do the job I trained for which is to be a TEFL teacher. I enjoy teaching things to children overseas in places like Cambodia, China, or Vietnam but when I am on an interview sometimes I will have tics which results in the school not hiring me as they think I am sick. I can honestly state that if i did not have tics I would be very successful in the industry i trained for.

    Tik Tok is the reason I subconsciously suppress in school and around my family, I'm so scared of being fake-claimed that I myself think I'm faking. I feel like if I just think really hard, I can just stop. Though that's not the case, I know it's not. When people see me tic, I get embarrassed and cover my face trying to hide. I've had tics since I was 13 (I'm 16 now), and they've gotten to the point where people are noticing. I can't even go to my parents and tell them I think I need to see a doctor because I'm afraid I'm being dramatic and subconsciously faking. Which yes, my family has noticed, but I've always quickly denied. So now they think I'm just a weirdo who makes weird noise once in a while. I also don't wanna be dragged into that "Tik tok gave the kids TS" conspiracy theory, seeing how my dad is already a Tik tok conspiracy theorist.
    Which thinking about I always think why would I faking it? My eyes roll back so much that they give me a headache, and my neck is constantly tired and in pain.

    I have a cousin with tourettes but only has a couple of facial motor tics, no vocal unless you count throat clearing as vocal. I would have never known he had it if my family hadn't told me because all of his tics are hardly noticeable.
    I don't have tourettes but I have some involuntary things that I've done since I was a kid, but I've never really called them tics. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 6, I never would have guessed the things I do could be related to that until you mentioned it! Some of the things I do are easy to describe like wrist and knuckle popping, jaw popping, and hard blinking (if that makes sense), but the other thing is harder to describe. It's like cutting off the airway to my nose with the back of my tongue then opening it and it makes almost like a clicking noise. It's not really clicking but I don't know how to describe it. And these are all things I've done since I was a kid.

    By people I trust and my own research am BPD or MPD (Borderline Personality Disorder. Multiple Personality Disorder.) I am unable to get a doctor/councilors official diagnosis due to family conditions. My family has a line of disorders such as Bipolar. I am 15 and have suffered greatly because of my closest family has this disorder. It has lead me to have saveer anxiety and stress whenever I hear certain sounds such as yelling. When I hear things like this I usually make a sound like a whistle or a pop and jerk around a little. Sometimes I'll not act myself for a little while as if I'm not in my own head. I am fully aware that I'm doing this and I always ask if I did something hurtful. Often I wonder if I have a genioune issue or if I don't. It doesn't take a trigger for me to do this, it feels random each day.
    You are right, it is hurtful to someone if they question themselves especially by fake claiming. One person I know fake-claimed me by telling one of my closest friends who then notified me. I've questioned myself ever since. Around that person I often find myself trying to surpress the strong feeling to whistle, pop, or jerk just so I don't have to hear it again.
    In short, thank you for raising awareness on this topic. To me my comment looks like a scattered mess but it is my hope of someone understanding. You've made me feel a little bit more comfortable about my position and condition. I wish you the best.

    So... my sisters best friend recently started "ticking". I put that in quotes, no because I want to be mean, but because I genuinely can't tell if she does! She only started recently, and although she's around the same age that you said you we diagnosed, it's seems to have gone from literally no ticks to- hitting her legs, swearing (and her family does not like swearing!), making rude hand gestures (but only at herself in the mirror), saying "have a cupcake", but also "I hate you", and only a couple weeks ago she started saying "arson" which she recently became weirdly obsessed with 🤨 All this to say it happened SO suddenly (as in: I've known her since she was about 7 and she hasn't had ANY kind of tick until know when she suddenly has LOADS), she only seems to tick when she's thinking about it, and (i don't mean to be rude here) she already is the kind of person who would do crazy things for attention! I don't want to fake claim or anything, but I would like to know people opinions because I think she might be having a negative affect on my sister! My sisters been really worried and stressed about her friend! So yeah... I'd just like some feedback and maybe a bit of advice. Thanks for explaining ❣

    With medication, it's a delicate balance between tic suppression, and side effects. It took a long time of trying different meds and different dosages. I'm at a level just below the threshold where I start experiencing side effects. My tics are tolerable and have no side effects.

    Hello! I know you said not to fake claim. And usually that's what I also do. But I have an ifi situation...
    My best friend was ticcing. Like genuinely ticcing. Her depression and anxiety got worst because of it and stuff. I doubt it was tourette's (even tho it was both motoric and vocal tics) since she doesn't have tics anymore.
    She also has a little sister, Azra (she turns 14 soon), who literally made me her idol. She want dress like, also wants to dye her hair and stuff. Well the thing is, I'm quite outrageous. I have alternative styles, heavy make up, combat boots, chokers, chains, and bright colored hair. And I have been diagnosed with tourette's at the age of 15 (I'm turning 18 soon)
    Btw don't get me wrong I don't want to fake claim Azra. It rather... Everyone else. A while back she started ticcing, but than she stopped. And about 1-2 weeks ago she started it again. Almost everyone says she must be faking, and they all ask me if I think the same. But I don't. Her sister says, that she can't have ts, since nobody else it the family does, but than, why was she ticcing?
    My question is... If I constantly meet someone, us there any signs if they're faking or not?
    I rlly like Azra, and I don't want to affend her, and I don't want anyone else to be mean to her. But if she rlly is just faking, I would like to discuss it with her on why, and why she should stop.
    Thank you for your answer in advance ^^

    I have this annoying continuous habit of raising my eyebrows at random times and doing a bobbing neck thing, and its kind of embarrassing when I talk to people because of it. My friend asked me if I had scoliosis because of the neck thing, I don’t know what it is, but if someone has an idea, please respond?

    It always makes me uncomfortable when parents showcase or "spread awareness" of a young child especially with Tourette's. I don't do Tiktok so I don't know what's the situation there but at least on Instagram there are parent run accounts where they post clips of their 7-10 year old child's tics and other symptoms. I have a bad feeling that in some of these the parents at least encourage the tics, even to the point of making the child to act. In some accounts the parents seem to have a some kind of business around the channel. Of course I understand that therapies and medical costs especially in the US are high and they maybe genuinely doing just to get some help with those. But still I think the child should be at least in their teens to decide themselves if they want their tics on the internet. I don't think a child under that age really realise the supposed consent even if the parents ask them if they can post a particular video.
    But in the same vein, I just recently stumbled on an instagram channel where they showed how they change their disabled child's colostomy bag. I don't think that's ok either even if it is in the name of awareness of that spesific disability.

    I have a classmate and they have never and i mean never had ticks.. I started to notice that they would do this one specific thing which is jerk their head. I didn’t think much about it at first but then it started getting faker as they did the same ONLY 1
    ..i accidentally over heard them in their girlfriend laughing about it and found out that they did it just to attract attention toward themselves. Then they started flicking off people and saying rude things when she didn’t even have ticks. (i understand and i don’t mind if you really have it but it’s kinda weird when u don’t ) (i say they because that’s their pronoun and i wanted to be respectful)

    This is not hate just a question
    I saw a girl and she randomly said "f#ck men" and kept saying "round it up" and
    "Black woman are gross" And she claimed they were tics and she didn't mean it, and I just wanna know
    Can you have tics like that? I don't have Tourettes so I'm not sure but those words weren't very nice
    And I just wanna know if she actually can't control saying those things or she was just claiming
    They were tics to get out of trouble. Edit: ALSO she never mentioned to me she had Tourettes
    And we have been friends since kindergarten so we are really close and have known eachother for a while
    So I feel like I would have known I will be asking her mom if she really does have it but I just want your opinion

    Look up B with tourette's she sounds very nice she's from a different country I think.. But she definitely has tourette's and she went through brain surgery for her tourettes. Her tourette's were one of the worst. And I also follow trippy hippie too she sounds really nice too but she also has absent seizure like me. I have tics but it is very hard to live with and be around people when they're staring at you while you are ticing. Sorry for bad spelling... Keep up with the videos I enjoy

  • @thatonecrazymarshmallow4001

    Hello! I have a question about Tourettes. I don’t know much about it and I would like to learn more. One question I have is, do tics happen during certain things like talking and actions, or can they happen at any time? Or is it just different for everyone? Im curious. If you see this and answer this, then thank you. Have a goody day

    I wonder what it is about Tourettes that makes people want to fake it and what about it that makes people want to fake claim it. Nobody fakes alcoholism and nobody comments that a creator who makes videos about their struggles isn’t a real alcoholic. I guess maybe the fakers just want to be victims and get sympathy and attention. Anyway, I liked the message of kindness in your video.

    This world. That's where they fake it. It gets them attention and gives them a thing to blame their poor behavior on.
    Example: people who claim to have DiD.
    They bring up their altars, remember their altars, know all about them--
    They act like assholes and it's not their fault. It was an alter. They can't help it.

    You need a different doctor. You have a disorder that is making you believe you have Tourette’s but you don’t actually have it. I can recognize authentic tics and I can also detect fake tics pretty easily.
    Yes, some of us *can* detect real vs. fake tics and you do not have Tourette’s you have a psychological issue that needs to be treated though. I do hope you will seek a second or third opinion as I’m pretty sure your doctor is mistaken.
    Real tics are involuntary and quick, slowly patting the back of your head or your chest is not a tic, that is an action you are choosing to make. Your eyes will also reflect an authentic tic, there is a synchronicity. Your eyes are not responding as they would with legitimate tics.
    I’m not saying this to be mean, I’m saying it out of concern. I’m telling you that most of what you are doing are not authentic tics and a doctor who cares about more than writing prescriptions can confirm it.
    Perhaps you have real tics sometimes…but I’m not seeing them in your videos.
