- This is me telling the story of how I got my first tic, and about how my tics have progressed from there. This video is unedited, cause I didn't think it needed any and I hope it doesn't bother anyone. Thank you so much for watching my videos, I appreciate all of the comments and subscriptions so much!!

angus BOI!! I’m gonna was a great night to see y’all this week I gotta is a good day I gotta is a time for me a birthday dinner I gotta was the day you got it bruh bruh I like the best of all this the one time you have a great day 😊
@angus BOI!! dude, you messed with my brain so fucking bad
If you're comfortable with it you should do a singing video, I bet plenty of your viewers would love to hear your singing voice😊
Jenna Smiles Aw thank you! I might do that at some point! It depends on how the singing turns out lol
Agreeee ❤️
Yeah! I don't even care if its bad you're great
My tics suddenly got worse at 18. Before that, I didn't even know I had tics (though a lot of them should've been super obvious looking back). One day I got a "weird feeling" (premonitory urge) in my jaw and I couldn't stop stuttering. The next my shoulders started shaking and my arms would occasionally swing. Over the next week, I acquired a bunch of new motor tics and then vocal tics a little bit later aaand I freaked out, stressed about it and got to the most severe I've ever been in about 2 months...yyeeaahh haha. It felt sudden at the time, and it sort of was, but looking back, I had several tics that were increasing tons at least 2 months before I started stuttering. And I had had countless tics throughout childhood that no one noticed and I guess I just never thought or cared about. It's possible you had some really minor ones in childhood that you forgot about. I mean, I highly doubt I remember all of mine and even now I'm not always fully aware of what I'm doing. A little while back, I informed an elderly gentlemen of a tic he had and didn't know he was doing.
Anyways, I think I'm just rambling now. I might take some inspiration from this video and do a video on my own Tourette's story. I've meant to do it for a while, but it's going to be a looonnng video haha.
Anyways, I just wanted to say I've heard lots of stories like yours where you either get worse or get tics in adulthood (or just later than early childhood if you're still under 18). It takes some digging, but they're out there.
Snapple and Cats! thank you for sharing your story
Snapple and Cats! I can't exactly remember when my tics started, but I know it was at the age of ten. My first was kicking myself in the crotch, which is pretty unfortunate to say the least. It's been four years, and I've gotten a lot more tics, mostly motor, since then. I'm afraid of getting more tics as I get older, especially since the ones I have are pretty noticeable.
Snapple and Cats! I love your channel ❤❤
Snapple and Cats! Wow
Snapple and Cats! XX
I put my social media links in the description if you wanna check them out. ❤️
Hi Rowan! I had a question. What age did your tics start? Thank you!
Hey you’re probably not gonna answer this but what does it feel like to have ticks because I think I might have them
Nice
I looove listening to you talk lol I hope you continue to make more videos!
Anna Lynn Aw thank you! I'm really glad people like hearing me talk!
Rowan Kitterman It's so interesting hearing your stories and your voice is like idk really soothing and nice lol idk but I do know that I am definitely going to stick here for future videos so I'm looking forward to the next one!
Rowan Kitterman you are soooo perfect and I love you're channel and your quirks you're so great and beautiful💛💙💜💛💙💜
Anna Lynn yeah
Madi Bird wow you can't even type right. How about you get off of this channel and don't come back because no one needs their time wasted by your useless self being here. I love Rowan and I don't want to hear you talking shit
I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your videos. I have a friend who's daughter has Tourette's. It is a fascinating disorder as are most neurological disorders. It is really amazing how the mind/body work. My daughter has narcolepsy so I have experienced how a neurological disorder can just start out of seemingly nowhere and then completely consume your life. Kudos to you for sharing and opening dialogue and educating others. That is such an empowering way to turn a "negative" into a positive and to take the power away from the disorder. I love how confident yet soft spoken you are. Thank you so much for sharing!
You had barely any tics in this. ❤️😄
i dont know what to do for my name
He* Rowan uses male pronouns, and yes he /might/ edit a lot of his tics out but TS has its good days and bad days- his tics could have been less frequent the day he recorded this video.
i dont know what to do for my name
Come on, don't be like that.. It's really rude and everyone deserves respect unless they don't give you any first.
i dont know what to do for my name
Alright, was just worried.. I've come around people who are just plain out rude about someones pronouns. I wasn't going to fight at all but I was gonna put my point across. ^^ you have a great day.
i dont know what to do for my name the caption says that it is unedited❤️
Vada Sills "this video is unedited, because i did not think it needed any"
I have tourettes. It started when I was 26. I'm 27 now and trying to get used to it. I had a seizure last spring, I hit my head very hard during the seizure. Ever since then I have had tourettes and stutter. It is getting worse. I feel your pain.
Sarah Jerzewski Im sorry that happened to you. I don't have tics so I don't know what you are going through but I hope you get better! :)
Sarah Jerzewski I've had Tourette's since I was 5. I don't really have them anymore just a few I can hold them in though only really can't control them when I'm stressed.
Sorry but when it only started with 26 you can't have Tourettes but maybe a chronic tic disorder. Tourettes has to show signs till the age of 18 to ne diagnosed as Tourettes. And Seizures are not something that happens with Tourettes. Tic attacks yes but not seizures.
im 14 and have tics but idk whats causing them.. maybe tourettes? i'm always in my room because im embarrased by them and my parents will probs just think im faking it or something...
@@Eg-ck4bm omg same here. I’m 15 tho. Mines not bad tho. Very small motor tics and only when I’m anxious, but I suppress them when I’m around family cuz I’m afraid that they’ll think I’m faking it. I don’t suppress them around my friend tho cuz they understand
I usually can't watch long videos (like 10 mins or more) unless I really like the person. So I guess it says something when I say I watched the whole video. And your last video haha. You're fun to listen to and I can totally see you getting big
Kall me Koala Omg thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed them so far!
Kall me Koala me too! I commented the same thing on their last video haha
Yay you're back!(:
yes please make more videos, your so strong. love hearing your stories, keep being you!!
I love this channel ur hair is slaying btw💖
i love your pfp oml
I'm sorry if this offends you but I LOVE your "cats" tic. It is ADORABLE! Al of your verbal ticks are really cute!
Omg I have Tourette's and pots too! (Plus a lot of others shit lmao)
Rowan its amazing to see how you've taken on such a big life change with so much courage and calm. It makes me so proud of you and happy to see you doing good. I really love that you're making these videos its so nice to hear you talk and to see you again. Please say hi to your family for me and tell them I miss you guys❤️
megan driggers Aww thank you!! I will! And we miss you too! A whole bunch! ❤️
Stay strong girl! You are beautiful inside and out...dont let anyone tell you any different! You are doing something wonderful by putting your story. You are a very inspirational person! I have enjoyed all your videos that I have watched tonight... You have gained a new sub! 👍🏼
you are amazing I'm so glad you make videos!
I just found your channel and I really loved this video. I recently have felt like I maybe be developing tics, or maybe have just gotten much worse and have had small ones in the past as I am 18 now so it’d be rare to develop all of it now. But you said no one else said they developed it after a specific date after an event, but I did. One day something started a major panic attack that made me shake and fall to the ground and throw my arms and everything uncontrollably, but it lasted for hours. I told myself I’d be fine after sleep. The next day I woke up and felt fine, then as the day went on I just started shaking and uncontrollably doing things, like stomping and clapping my hands. I just wanted to share, it may not be the exact same, but hopefully it makes you feel less alone in that situation.
I have developed multiple ticks in a week. My parents yell at me when I do tick. So frustrating
Same age thinks I'm faking it
MY NEW FAVORITE UA-camR OML i love hearing your storys its so amazing and interesting !!!
Aww thank you!! That's so sweet
I love All time low 😍

I just started watching your videos last night and I already love you and want to know more about you. You have an amazing heart and I love your open spirit and willingness to share your life with everyone. You will help so many people with your boldness. And I know no one is >always< strong and we all have our doubts, fears and failures, but continue pushing forward and remember each day is a new day to start over again and help someone else. You're an amazing person ❤💙
Personally I don't have these tics but my girlfriend has suddenly started developing tics after a severe anxiety attack last week and we're not sure if this is permanent or not. I'm hoping for the best for the best for her though. I love your videos by the way! They're very informative and you seem like a nice person! ♥
I love you so much! Also I know it might annoy you, but some of your tics are super adorable, especially the little gasps.
At the start I saw a video called "My tics" and I thought oh that looks interesting so I pressed it, that was a month ago, now I love your bids your awesome, never give up
Love your hair ty for your awareness from one tic to another I ❤️ your channel

You did really good with your speech in this video!!!!! OMG ily💜💜
I don't have Tourette's but I do have POTS. You are so inspirational and I can't imagine what it would be like to have this but you handle it beautifully! I occasionally get twitches in my hands and sometimes shake uncontrollably.
I’ve noticed tics recently and have been looking for this kind of video, so thank you
Do you still have them?
@@jonam2059 yup, i have a diagnosis for a temporary tic disorder now. if it stays till next year I'm getting one for tourettes
@@ohgodimlost421 oh okay thanks for replying :)
@@jonam2059 no problem :)
I just recently started watching your videos and i enjoy them very much you are a very gorgeous human being as well ❤❤❤ keep making awesome videos
It's good to look at the bright side of live, well done.
Okay, I love you. Also, All Time Low is my favorite band ever.
You are such a beautiful and strong person! Ps, I have POTS as well! Never seen someone on UA-cam who has it!
I love him so much, so cute! I love hearing about the tics and the whole journy.
@Pandacat 666 i saw in a different comment he said he was a boy :)
@Pandacat 666 no he’s a boy :)
That’s how it happened to me a few months haven’t been diagnosed with Tourette’s yet so far just atypical tic disorder but I just started one day and I’m 15. And every doctor I’ve seen says it’s weird so I had to have my head scan so it nice to know someone else is like me
I'm also fifteen,started out of no where and docters said the same thing,been two months now
Omg you're adorkable!!!! I love your voice :33
Keep making videos I love your channel!!!
You re such a good story teller sweety...I hope you re happy ..
I love how you say "excuse me" after your tics as if you did something wrong lol
I also have POTS along with other chronic conditions, and now my tics are progressing suddenly that they're raising enough concern to actually get them checked out. Thanks or sharing!
Your the first person that I have ever known that also has pots like I do, I love your videos so much 🙃. You are soooo pretty 😁
I was about sixteen when my head tic started. 25 years ago.
I still have it, but, it isn't as bad as it used to be.
honestly ur tics are adorable. like the little squeaks and "hahaha" things :)
You were doing good with your tics on this video love you so much
Tbh I really wish I was friends with you, your so amazing and this is the first video I've watched of yours❤️
Crankthatphan You can get in contact with me on my social media links in the description!
Your voice calms my fears :3
Your first tic was the same as my first tic I’ve never known anyone else with that tic
What I do when I have my tiks is that I hum like really hard for a long time and I also blink really hard and like I sniff and I cough and I yell UGH or MEH.
You are a beautiful soul!!
I saw this video a long long time ago, but it was just recommended to me again. I’ve been diagnosed with POTS and TS since then (I didn’t remember you had POTS)! It’s so weird
Seriously love and admire you.
thank you for telling your story sorry I can't finish your story it's making me think how I got my tic it's too painful for me
I started jerking my head a few moths ago, and everyone ignored it. A few weeks ago I started squeaking, blinking and scrunching up my face, and about a week ago I started saying "fuck" and "meow". My mom thinks it's just from watching these videos, even though my tics started before I found them. School's about to start and I'm really worried because my mom won't bring me to the doctor, and if I say "fuck" in the middle of class I'm going to get in trouble.
Thanks for sharing your story.
How old were you when it started? I don't think you said
K M H 15!
Rowan Kitterman im 15 right know and every once in a while my leg suddenly snatches ones
.... do u think it could be the start of somethin? or is it just something harmless..
- amanda - I have the same thing but I’ll clench my midsection but I don’t think it’s anything.
- a m a n d a - I know im late lol but (If youre really concered go see a doctor this is just what I think) as long as doesent develope into any vocal tics, and you dont get any more physical tics you should be fine. This could also be a tic dissorder, which is a less extremem version of tourrettes. It means you usually only have like 1 or 2 physical, not very noticable tics.
SOMEONE ELSE WITH POTS I THOUGHT I WAS GHE ONLY ONE
I've never passed out but my vision has gotten blurry with colors and my legs have gotten red and itchy
Colleen Coy you're definitely not! I have several friends who have it and I follow alot of youtubers who have it
one of my faves with it are the Frey life
Colleen Coy I also love chronically Jacquie
kpopfan forever77 I have it too!
hi! this is super helpful, I don't really know whats going on with my but since yesterday I've been having a really annoying motor tic where I just jerk my head back a lot. it just happened yesterday and I'm unsure if its going to be a temporary thing or not and I was trying to find videos like this to see if anyone had experienced something similar. It showed up OUT OF NOWHERE
My experience to yourself is very similar, I am going to the doctor soon
i love you!!! your great
I've had mines since 13 but i didn't think much about the little urges i would feel to move i just was not really paying that much attention it was just little movements and not a lot of noise and now that I'm 17 it just got worse one night and now i say random words and i couldn't control it along with my body's need to stop breathing like how i use to and it scared the crap out of me when i said bitch under my breath a few days ago at the hospital and the random words it made me anxious my moms a nurse so she knows some what about this and the doctors said i have it but i just need to confirm it which kinda scares the crap out of me i know i'm on tangent but the up and down and the stares i get really piss me off and hurt some what people are mean so hearing about your story makes me worry a lot less thanks love
you seem like such a lovely person
I really like watching your videos!
S Murphy Thanks!
Where have you been all this time? I just found you all by myself i don't how but i think God help me tho lol i love your video's so much there always a messages hidden in your videos. love the way you are. GOD BLESS YOU.
From a strange person who want's to be your friend.
Your tics are the most adorable
I dont have tics but this video is very informative and interesting!
your brave and a beautiful person your adorable you deserve like 500,000 subscribers
I have had that one thing that she does which is like the squeaking breathing in thing... and it stopped a while ago but it's started to come back today and idk if it's Tourette's or not
My first tic was only a week ago when I was playing Fortnite with my friends. We all sat there for almost and hour just laughing and gossiping about stupid stuff until I started to stutter every time I spoke. My friends suggested I got off and took a small break from video games, and so I did. My arms and legs started to twitch uncontrollably every few seconds but I kept it a secret from them because I didn't want them to worry too much. The next day when I was on my laptop doing school [I'm home schooled] my head started to swing to the side and rest on my shoulder every 5-8 minutes. My door was open just a crack and from the end of the hallway my brother was staring at me like "The hell is she doing?" and just walked away, anyways my neck was starting to hurt a bit so I started to Google what was happening to me, I was in panic since I am also dealing with Severe Anxiety. I later found a website explaining all of it and then I watched a few UA-cam videos about it trying to calm myself down. I still haven't told my parents about them since I'm worried they will start taking me to doctors and all that other stuff, I've just been hiding in my bedroom for the past week only coming out for a few minutes to take care of basic needs. In case your thinking I'm just some introvert then I'm just going to add that I would go outside with my dogs and just go behind my house near my window and be myself for a few minutes before heading back inside. If anybody knows how I should explain this to my parents and you know what I may have to go through then please tell me XD. These tics just continue to get worse as the days go by. I'm also only 11 years old so I'm not sure what the hell I should do anymore.
Should I have them find it out for themselves or should I just tell them?
You're such an adorable human ( :
The past 2 days I’ve been twitching my head into my shoulder the way you explained, and there’s also something I do with my nose, (kinda like a sniffles but with less nose? I guess.. kinda like the noise people make when they cry) and i dont know what to make of it :/ I don’t wanna say I have Tourette’s or am developing it but I am considering the possibility
I don't have tics or Tourettes (I hope I spelled that right) but this just seems like a cool thing to learn about!
oh my goodness when you started saying cats it was so cute. I know it may be extremely annoying but it was cute.
Rebecca Western Haha it can be annoying and cute at the same time.
I never knew anything about tourettes until i watched your vids. Youve taught me a lot. Thank you. Question. Is this passed through genetics? Or Is it based on certain things Or events that happen to your body?
on a second note as I'm still watching, in a way I'm regretting watching this as its setting off my twitches and I just slapped my leg so hard, ouch! lol
omg you didnt tic basically the whole time!!
I have a shoulder tic and a head tic, I haven’t officially been diagnosed with Tourette’s but I feel like I should be, these tics started about a year and a half ago😕
do you have a vocal tic?
I remember the exact day it started with me. Summer '96, Completely out of the blue. Where does it come from?!
That's the first movement I got about a month ago. I haven't been to the doctor yet and I don't want to call it but Im not sure what to do. It has changed to throwing my head back and I think I should go to the doctor
I have tourette and you encouraged me a little bit more to talk about it. I wanted to do a video about it. But I was not sure. Now I am sure. Thanks. And by the way. I love cats!
Aww that's awesome!! I'm glad I could help!
I passed out one time and I didn't know where I was and I didn't know who my boyfriend at the time was. It was pretty scary, I was cooking at the time. Thank goodness he was home
my tics started about three months ago with weird blinking patterns that I barely even noticed and then I got the same head twitch thing you got within the past six days they've gotten so much worse
Every now and then my head twitches, it moves to my right and I do it without control. Is this a start of tics?
I have a head tic where I move my head swiftly (painfully) to the side. It's the only tic ive ever had and I think it's a social anxiety thing too. ..
I myself have POTS not an easy thing to deal with causes me alot of uncomfort and dizzies and makes it hard to breathe for me..and on top of that anxiety is a biggie and so are panic attacks so that does make it easy..
I got that Tic too but it even happens when I am afraid angry or stressed or when I did something what I know it was wrong. Maybe I need help.
I have vasovagal syncope which is when I'm in pain and see blood or someone else's blood I pass out or have a seizure
my first tic was about a month ago and it's just a quick head turn to the left and and like a hiccup
I've been watching a lot of videos like this, because for the last month I started cocking my head really weirdly. I always had a tic problem with my leg and hip but I put it off a lot as random spasms... but the head thingy is really weird and really disturbing. My parents keep saying I shouldn't worry so I don't really know where I'm going with this all...
wait so how old were you when you got your first tic? btw you're so adorable lmao and I love your videos
Thank you! I was 15 when I got my first tic. It was three months before I turned 16.
I pass out easily and get very dizzy too, I pass out about 10 times a year, or more, it might be because I had cancer, if you're curious which cancer, it was langerhan cell histiocytosis, I don't really know if it counts as a Cancer, but you still have to have chemo for it.
Have a great day!
i have vasovagal syndrome
Just want to say hi. I loved hearing your story.
Dewayne Luttrull Hi! And thanks!
I may seem weird for saying but i think the sounds you make are really cute lol.
Dewayne Luttrull No, that's alright. They sound kind of like little animals sometimes, a lot of people have told me they think they're cute.
I like how you have your hair too lol
I hade headaches for a year and they it all started with a cough and my headaches kinda just disapeared
Every since a few weeks I’ve started to stutter a lot. When I was younger I used to stutter a lot but then I gradually spoke normal for about 4 years until now. My mom is kinda confused also I randomly flick my fingers (kind of like when you twiddle your thumbs but will all my fingers) and it would only last a few seconds but would come back.
I don't know if you would answer this but I have started to do something which is like I sniff and jerk my head towards my left shoulder and it has been happening for 6 days and I was wondering if you thought it could be a tic because me and my mum are really confused
+Quietkid 123 It could be? Yeah. If you can't control it and its happening by itself, it's a very real possibility.
