I Have the Most Extreme Case of Tourette's | Living Differently

- Опубліковано 7 кві 2019
- Trevor is 17 and has one of the most extreme cases of Tourette’s in the world. His constant tics cause his body to violently jerk, twist and contort uncontrollably. We see how this impacts Trevor’s home and college life. No treatment has ever worked to stop his Tourette's, apart from a brief respite when he plays his guitar and piano. But there is hope with a new experimental brain surgery.

He also has the most extreme case of gorgeous hair.
Aarathi Bhaskaran Insurance in the US wouldn't cover the cost of a haircut so he's stuck with it.
Aarathi Bhaskaran true
I came here just to say that!
@@buttonpusher3786 wait, you can use insurance to cut your hair? damn.
I'm not even American.
argan oil baby
My first thought when I saw his hair was "that guy needs a guitar".
I was thinking surfboard XD
Hell yea, get that guy front and center in a metal concert and nobody would be able to tell.
I was thinking he could be the next Fabio
And a full electric/poison pokemon team
Me to! I said to myself, this guy has good taste in music. NOT WRONG.
Hair product companies take note: hire this lovely man as a model and show the world that we all fit in. You will receive kudos for innovation.
And he's truly a head turner
@@prawnchips9461 GODDAMN PUNS
He literally waves his hair naturally
Absolutely, because he's worth it..
If he had headphones on, it would look like he’s just jamming out to a badass song
U think those headphone would stay on place😭
If you get the right kind of headphones, yes lol
@@kamallb4650 why wouldn't they, you clearly have never had a good set of headphones
Like sally face 😂
Me fr 😂😂
I thinks it pretty obvious he was meant to be a rock god.
A blessing but a curse. God knows he was born to change the world through music
He loves to play metal. Even from the beginning, he loved the great rock legends. Proud Dad. Thanks for watching his video
Antonio Israde he can be the new Ozzy Osborne.
So like Stevie T
@@schrodgrsbstbc1902 did you get that from jared...lame
You're kidding, right? He's smart, cool, creative, gorgeous, and that HAIR! Who wouldn't want to be his friend, let alone bully him?!
I hope college treats him better. People tend to be less judgemental.
Why are you lying tho.. be honest would you walk around with someone who shakes his head/leg every few seconds..
@@rkgracanica I would! This guy is so cute. Wtf is wrong with u? He's a normal human like u and I... Jesus grab some sense holy hell!
@@rynvus2674 he is a normal guy but i think WINSTON MOSCOW is right you can say everything on the internet but when it comes to the point tbh i am sure you would rather be with the "cool kids" just saying
I was an outcast too, I totally would've been his friend. More if he was interested too 😍
@@rkgracanica I would because I have friends with nervous tics and other disabilities. I feel really sorry for you though.
Why do people bully, it still makes no sense. All it does is show how insecure the bully is
I always took up for the kids who were bullied in school. To this day, im 62, l see someone from school and they say you saved me or thank you. I never even new l made a difference. Bullies are just big chickens or injured by some other bully.
@Vincent Savoye that's the only time i agree with bullying lmao
Surely you know, everyone's taken enjoyment out of others pain in a sort of way in their lifetime
@@ItsSeamless Enjoyment from inflicting pain and grief to someone who doesn’t deserve it? No. can’t say I have.
@@ItsSeamless that's slapstick comedy, the most primitive comedy that only primitive people enjoy the most. If they're taken enjoyment from INFLICTING pain to others, that's sadism and that can be classified as mental disorder.
I can’t imagine anyone bullying him, he’s so sweet. I want to be friends 😭
1.His hair is GORGEOUS
2. his face is PERFECT
3.He seems so nice
4. I would love to be his friend
Miłky Tėå 5. He can shred \m/
Miłky Tėå no one is perfect
No one is perfect but Jesus Christ
“That’s all folks”
@@BarryaLLen-ik8bq No one is perfect expect God
Me: "He looks like a Metalhead!"
Trevor: *plugs in guitar*
Rock on dude!
Lmao yes
Dude would likely shred without even trying
EliSpleiss ik it does!!
Jeah! Rock with Ozzie!
New tic: Alright!!! tongue out and rock hand sign.
It made me so sad when he said he’s barely had any friends for his whole life :( I would be his friend he seems so sweet and kind I really feel for him
We have someone at my school who has Tourette's, in the beginning of high-school year they let him stand on stage and explain it to us, he told everyone if they see him screaming or having an attack just give him space and get a teacher or just anything else its normal so don't be rude about it, though luckily everyone at my school is pretty nice to him - he's got friends, girlfriend and everyone seemed to like him a lot. Though I feel bad for this kid tho... I wish it had been the same for them.
That is one of the things that the association encourages if they are comfortable. My whole family has some a spectrum of TS and my son who has the most obvious case taught his 3rd grade class about it. Other options are to have a youth ambassador from the Tourette association give a talk to school while not necessarily referencing the person who has TS.
@@starpilotalliance teachers are trying. I am one myself and I won’t tolerate bullying if I witness it. I have scoliosis myself and put up with a lot of teasing. I loved seeing another teacher’s poster “it’s just scoliosis!” with facts on it that visually supported his student wearing a brace. To anyone saying this is the “snowflake” syndrome, I live in Canada where every snowflake is unique, while a whole bunch of them together can land you on your a**! 🙌🏻
A girl I knew had severe tourettes and she was gay..... In Arkansas.... How tf do u think she had it in school. Oh and get mom was a teacher....
I dont understand how people dont wanna be friends with him. This dude is so cool and his tourettes just add more character. Kids great, tourettes or not.
the only reason the comment section is so full of "aww i wanna be his friend!!" is because people can say that to make themselves feel good because in real life they'd keep their distance. it's complicated for people to associate with someone who's seen as a "weirdo" or "creep". there's plenty of people with physical deformities and psychological conditions that don't get to have their story and personality covered by a viral documentary that none of u would approach to get to know them. it's sad but it's true
@@emil6421 idk about other people, but i dont care about your deformity or tics or disabilities. Youre still a human being and as long as youre a genuinely kind and good person i would love to hang out with you. Im not fully able myself but theres people worse off than me so i have no place to complain, but i do know what its like to be avoided because of looking or being a certain way you cant control. Maybe other people do say it to feel better about themselves, but i would genuinely like to be this guys friend.
Wild Kitchen im sure you are im just saying normally this isnt the case with most people that are commenting here
@@emil6421 which i understand, i am aware. Thank you for the concern.
Thanks, it is hard to walk up to him in real life. He speaks about this through his non-profit to help others with Tourette Syndrome. He shows a video of what it looks like when he is walking. He wears a GoPro and it is hard to believe someone lives like that, but he does. The video was heavily edited. His Tourette's are much more aggressive in person, especially when he is nervous. He is as amazing as he seems and is very upbeat. I remember when he was yound and was in school for a little over a year and the kids would call him diseased. It broke all of our hearts to watch him go through that. Proud Dad
I know this isn't the point of the video but that dude's hair is GORGEOUS and I am so jealous.
If I had Tourette's, such long hair would be the last thing I'd like to have.
Saaaame.....I was like wow his hair moves so softly and flows nicely.
The slow motion shots killed me, such luscious locks ❤️
I was thinking the same thing!!
That is what I was thinking about! It looks so soft and shiny, it's gorgeous.
Him: “I have Tourette’s”
The Comments: “ok, but hair...“
Yeah, and also... hair!
@@Sonny2299 and glasses
he should also cut his hair, i'm sure it'll reduce the tics a bit
Simp city.
The video was really informative but it's hard to focus when those slow motion hair flips shows of his gorgeous locks
I go to NIACC with him. He is really nice. I actually saw him playing the guitar in the fine arts hallway just a few days ago and it sounded awesome.
Can you tell me his full name?
Avani Vyas Trevor Smith
How is he doing now? 😁
Daniela Milan protect this special bean
How is he doing now.
He's so handsome and I think the long hair is a great choice. It makes him look very majestic when he tics. Like a beautiful horse.
EDIT: I'm really sorry if my comment offends some of you. I prefer to keep my sense of humor rather than treat everything like, "Oh, that poor boy. His life sucks. How sad." I'm sure he gets enough of that already.
Woah same, it instantly reminded me of a beautiful mane.
He doesn't feel like a beautiful horse, but I'm glad he's aesthetically pleasing to you.
Yassssssss.
Swish swish bish.
Tic tic bic
@@Sullivancohen I think it's comforting, like he can pass tics off as shaking hair off his neck.
I was a hairstylist and sometimes it took a little longer to cut short hair evenly if people had tics. Some men would apologize, that made me feel sad. As long as the person was polite, there's NOTHING to apologize for. ❤❤😊
Okay....
I will never understand how anyone can bully or stare at someone who has a condition they absolutely cannot control. I love that he’s not letting his severe disability hold him back from what he wants for his future.
He seems like the coolest dude to be friends with.
That dude doesn't have a family. He's got an army lol
haha i'm happy he has such a large support cast it probably helps him deal with his tic disorder alot.
He does have an army, we raised him to work hard, understand that he is the person who directly benefits from his own hard work. He is as he seems in the video, although his tics are much worse in life than what was edited. I think that because he is a good looking kid, there was more production value in that aspect of his story. Thanks for the kind words. Proud dad
Christopher Smith how are the tics now after his surgery? May the Lord Jesus bless you and your family! 🙏🏽
@@natalie5892 Trevor is doing better. He is on his second set of programming. It takes several weeks to complete each setting. He will most likely have a few more rounds to go, but we are very hopeful his result will be excellent. Thanks for asking
Or a village
Dude's just making up excuses so he can flaunt that gorgeous hair constantly, I see you.
Paul Strough best comment ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😉😉😉😉😍😍😍
Oh god 😂
If I had hair like that, I'd be flaunting it all over the place.
Hell, if I had hair at all.
@@jameswest8280 😅
Hey Trevor, even though this video is a few years old now, it just showed up on my feed. I just wanted to say how much I hope the treatment helped. I'm 40 years old, and when I was a teenager, *I* was listed as one of the worst cases of tourettes ever recorded. I also went through the hell of multiple medications and nothing worked. I also was extremely bullied (nowadays people would be arrested for what they did to me), and had few friends. But, like you, I also found solace and relief through music. Now my tics are much better, but it's still a part of everyday life. So I just wanted to let you know, from a 40 year old lady who's been through it too, there are people out there who understand. Keep up the music, and I wish you the best of luck on both your treatment, and other life goals.
Would you be interested in some healing that may help your symptoms?
@@Orosian5 I’m actually much better now in terms of the TS. It obviously never goes away, but I’ve made my peace with it. Thank you though.
@@MoonstarGem1 I believe it's possible for it to go away, but if you've made peace with it then that's the important thing.
Interesting that he reminds me so much of my ex. He had long, gorgeous hair, was an amazing metal musician, and also had Tourette's. I thought his Tourette's was very endearing. Even though we didn't work out, I love him still to this day. Trevor will do just fine in life!
He speaks so formally and nice! I think he has a lovely personality ~
Me: *watches a short random video about Tourette's syndrome*
UA-cam: "DID YOU JUST SAY TOURETTE'S SYNDROME IS YOUR ONLY INTEREST IN LIFE???"
Underated comment
So true 😔✊
Me: buys plunger from Amazon
Amazon: DO YOU COLLECT PLUNGERS NOW?!
UA-cam has gotten slightly better about this in the past few months though.
“People don’t like what they don’t understand! “- wise girl
“People don’t like what they don’t understand” that’s very true!
Wtf.... I have 277 likes? And some replies! Ty lol
if I dont like mean/judgemental people, I dont understand them
thats true, I dont really understand mean people
I like what I don't understand and not understand
I love things I don't understand
Like vaping.
Basically maths
How does he not have friends? I love him! I would be his friend.
Edit: I want to be his friend.
The Great Hufflepuff a true hufflepuff lol
I’ll be his friend too!!! :D
I want to be his friend too!
Me too!
@AVenom meh.. ME
THIS MAN HAS BEEN HEALED BY THE POWER OF METAL!!!
\m/ \m/
I have severe anxiety some times. Only thing I need is my bass guitar and some metallica xd
ALL HAIL THE GODS OF METAL!!!
HAIL!
If there was an elixer called metal, he would definitely overdose on it if he could. Our house vibrates with metal most nights. We have to tied down the furniture some days. He is an amazing 18 year old for sure. Proud Dad
I think he’s playing it very smart. Every time he ticks its looks like he’s in one of those gorgeous hair commercials
I have mild Tourettes. My kids were not so lucky. Thier saving grace is they are twins so they have each other to lean on. They are adults now and are amazing artists. I'm very proud of them.
Throw on some headphones doubt anyone would question the head ticks then.
What are listening to bro?
LOL😭😭😂
🤣
To the people that bullied him, I hate you. He seems like a lovely young man, i'd happily be his friend.
The people bullying him need love, not hate. Bullys grow up with judgement and discipline without affection at home. Well adjusted kids with loving parents usually don't act that way.
So funny, my drum teacher had Tourette’s and his ticks went away when he played, too
I will be really lucky to be his friend and hug him all the time and tell him that he has got me as a friend and that I am always beside him.
Bullies are narrow-minded. Trevor is so strong and one of the examples of strong ppl.
I am so sorry Trevor has to go through this. He seems like an amazing young man going through something most people would not have the strength to withstand. Best of luck to him and his family!
The tics stop when he does something he loves and is distracted cause his brain is focusing on something else. there has to be some answer in that
I was thinking the same thing
There is. The music makes him feel joy / love. And love overcomes all !
It's momentary and often only temporary. There is a key to it though, being that the source of Tourette is in the frontal lobe and when you are engaged in something that takes your focus you can sometimes find refuge from the tics. However, extreme emotions in either direction can make tics worse. So it's not just things you love, it's the focus. Too excited or too angry can cause 'tic attacks'.
Another thing that makes it difficult is adhd is often comorbid with Tourette (also sourced in the frontal lobe) so focusing on things is hard, especially ones that don't have novelty. You may enjoy something but if you don't hit flow or focus in it, it may only distract the tics for a little while.
The theory is that playing an instrument occupies both your motor functions and the areas of the brain associated with creative thinking, kinda the same as writing or something like that, it requires imagination. I've always thought of it as intense music practice uses up the majority of the brain's "RAM".
Quite the tell if he doesn´t like you xD
Can I just say that I HUGELY appreciate how much screen time was given to Trevor himself, allowing him to tell his own story. So often with disability the focus is on the parents and how they feel about their child's condition, so this was refreshing.
His mom and I were happy to let that be the focus of this story as well. I do not know how the editing would have been if Trevor was not articulate in his presentation of his condition. He graduated High School at 15 years old. So did his sister Olivia and his sister Savannah at 14 years old. We do not treat him like he has a disability and he doesn't live his life like he has one. As a parent, I am proud that he has the wisdom to see through so much of the stigmas out there about his condition. He is 19 years old now. He runs his own non-profit as he is finishing up his Sophomore year in college. Thanks for your comment. Proud Dad
He is such a bright kid, I wish him nothing but good
He’s so handsome and sweet
Wishing the best for him 👍🏽❤️
Right?! He's adorable 😍
Such a cutie! ♥♥♥
YEAH!
Go find him....
Even the cutest guys can be dangerous the most ugly guy can be the most generous and kind :) we have our differences or its backwards u never know 0_0
I love how he just calmly rips the guitar💀💀💀
AwwwImJuan its actually kind of beautiful
I love this kid. He’s a total sweetheart. This is a clip from a full length doc with two other people, one a drummer, and one a little boy. It was the best thing I’ve seen on this topic.
Insurance companies are notorious for their denials.Bravo to the Mayo Clinic!
I have a fairly severe case of Tourette Syndrome myself and I've found playing and working with music helps me as well. I am a professional audio engineer and if I'm mixing a track or a live show my tics almost dissapear
I wonder if there is something that has to do with the musical part of your brain (and Steven’s) that keeps the tics from happening. This is beyond fascinating to me. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. There are people like me out there, that are able to look beyond imperfections and be polite and friendly to others with visible issues. Honestly, we all have “something”.
And he wants to be an engineer as well! I want yall to be friends now
Awesome!
Yeah, that's a well known phenomenon in the tourette's community. That happens to most people with tourette's when they play music actually.
“almost”
1. This guy is a truly amazing person
2. His story is so inspiring
3. I want his hair
4. Hes NASTY at guitar
5. He makes me wanna be a better person
6. Non related note: His mom looks like she could be his sister
Nasty good or nasty bad
Wow, he is crazy cool, and a FABULOUS guitarist!
The irony, I served a guy with Tourette's today at a coffee shop. The other staff just though he was being a jerk, but I could tell how hard he was trying....how very sad
That tick keeps messing up his hair that's probably be the most frustrating part of it all
Yeah touching your hair a lot makes it look like shiny in a bad way
Put it in a man's pony tail. www.menshairstylestoday.com/man-ponytail/
Apart from the fact it doesnt.
if he cut his hair maybe it wouldnt be so bad
It wouldn’t mess it up if he cut it
When it said that they couldn’t afford the surgery I instantly wanted to donate a lump of money to him. I am so proud that people with these types of conditions get the spotlight and support. So glad you feel better
... so you donated?
@@jesuschrist.6006 did you finish the video ?
To me it sounds so weird in US you possibly need charity to get vital medical help. I don't mean to mock US but it's just odd, US being a rich Western nation.
@@mikrokupu Over the years the older generation has corrupted every aspect of our lives for the sake of money in their pockets. We are being killed by our own government slowly and no one really cares
Thanks for the good will. There just aren't enough cases like Trevors for the device manufacturers to pay the millions of dollars it takes to get FDA approval. The outcome is the insurance companies don't have to pay for something not FDA approved. Medical necessity or not. It was difficult watching him fall apart for years with no possibility of getting help that would eleviate the tics. We just didn't have $160,000 to pay for his surgery. We did get a large chunck of it donated by the Mayo Clinic eventually. That allowed us to make it affordable. Proud Dad and thanks for watching his story.
Just looks like he's shaking some luxurious hair lol he needs a commercial!
I know some stuttering people who can sing normally, but not speak.
Interesting to see that music relieve his ticks.
I don’t get how people bully people for disabilities like that is sad to see.
it's funny probably
Were you born yesterday? Might be why you don't understand.
Y’all are dogging me in these comments 💀. It’s ight tho I can take the heat.
It makes them feel better than someone else. In reality, It makes them show everyone they are weak.
@putsome basilonit Of course not! But mocking disabilities is so fucked up.
No vocal tics, a great family, kickass genes, along with a penchant for musical talent. I reckon he's more blessed than most of us! God bless you dude.
dalet bet How is he more blessed?
Not a good comment
Things could be so much worse, but don’t try to defile his struggles.
Those “kickass genes” are what caused him to have Tourette’s. It has a lot to do with genetics. (You can’t have Tourette’s without vocal tics)
Trevor is amazing on so many levels. The show didn't highlight it, but his sisters are equally amazing. He doesn't think of himself as diminished. His improvement following the surgery is going really well. We hope for continued success. We don't like to look at his life through the prism of what he isn't. I am not going to lie, it has been rough to this point, but we, his family, feel every day is a new opportunity. Thanks for your good thoughts... Proud Dad
I certainly hope a GoFundMe has been set up for Trevor. I think a lot of people would donate and then you could put it in the comments every month or two so new people would see the link
Me: he's probably not that good at music
Trevor: -plays-
Me: *OH MY GO-*
Trevor, you are brave, smart, talented (that finger work on the guitar was outstanding), and very handsome. Why people would bully you is beyond belief. Sad but true. I hope that your new device works well for you.
You said the same thing in Rachel Ballingers video, no one needs to know
@@cloudtown8987 What did Susan say?
@@cloudtown8987 Hi Gaby. Did I? It wasn't a copy and paste..guess I just felt the same. Happy Easter!
@@susanleblanc7989 hello, i am so sorry, for whatever reason it showed that you had typed something gross and completely different, im sorry. HAPPY EASTER
@@nimthemreiluikham8679 im really confused now, every time i go to this comment it says one thing but when i click on it it says something completely different
Its like when he plays guitar the tics go to his fingers 🎸
I don't have tourette's, but I have something called conversion disorder that people often mistake as Tourette's. Essentially, my brain can't handle my emotions so my emotions are converted into physical symptoms like muscle spasms, tics, dizziness, and nausea. When he said that people tend to stay away from him it really struck a chord with me.
Bullying is what stopped me from having kids, I knew this world was cruel and I didn't want to subject anyone else to this world! I hate it!!!
Good luck with your school work and never let or listen to anyone trying to put you down. Keep head up young man
3:44 how the music completely shuts the tics down, very impressive!!
“People don’t like what they don’t understand, and are very judgemental” very succinct.
Yet they do like what they don’t understand, because they laugh at it, but only from the minuscule perspective they have in life.
He's handsome and seems to be a gentle personality. Guitar is my first love. Keep rocking...dont let anyone bother u buddie
I'm glad his family is supportive and loving. Cool sisters even came up with 'the stare' to keep people from staring and talking about their brother.
He is a fine young man.

Dude, I’ll be your friend
I hope Trevor reads the comments here every once in a while and know he has people loving and supporting him
Trevor does read these from time to time. He is busy trying to finish the last week of his Sophomore year in college and work on his nonprofit. We meet a lot of people these days that have seen his different shows across several formats and follow him. He is actually speaking to another production company to do a follow up show from this one. I will make sure he sees your comments and thank you for the wonderful support. Proud Dad
Really? Your gonna leave us hanging like that BBC Three? What happened with the electrodes in his brain? Did they work? Does he tic less now? I need answers people. He is my friend now and I need to know he's doing fine.... dooooing fine.
YES I AGREE
Bri Terry if he’s your friend, just ask him...
This was uploaded recently so maybe he's still progressing through the stages.
I found an article online from the daily mail from the beginning of May which says that Trevor is beginning to see an improvement :)
@@nikikikikikikikiable That's so great to hear💞
This comment section gives me hope for humanity. Y‘all have a nice day.
You too! ✌🤟🎶
He seems like such a sweet guy. If I went to school with him I'd wanna be his friend!
Bless you, such a beautiful soul. I’m sorry you were bullied, my daughter was bullied, so heartbreaking. I admire your courage, will and determination. You are and will be great, no doubt!
he’s literally gorgeous
That’s actually amazing how he channels his ticks into playing the guitar. It essentially stops his ticks completely.
The camera shakes is outstanding!
And he plays heavy metal guitar. Perfect combination!
Seems like he’s got some extreme thrash skills on that guitar!
Keep rocking dude \m/
We’re all rooting for you!
Hes a downpicking monster
Shreds real good
Trevor is so handsome! Beautiful face and long hair. He looks like a rockstar. I wish he'll have a girlfriend.
be his gf then
@@elisabef I am not single :)
Zorislava Logacheva lol
*will* have a girlfriend
Or maybe an boyfriend
What an awesome guy, dude. Everyone here loves you, Trevor, I hope it's gotten better and more manageable for you.
The second case I have heard of a person dealing with the tourettes syndrome where they both say "when I sing or play the guitar the tics go away",,,,, I think that's one of the best therapy with the people dealing with the condition,,,,MUSIC... 💯💯💯💯
Brought to you by Dove Shampoo
Lmfao
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THIS. that slow mo was very majestic !
Music is powerful. I'm glad it gives him some relief. He seems like a nice young man. He should not be labeled or criticised!
A fine young man. His guitar skills are great! 💯💙
You deserve all the good that comes your way and lots more
It’s fascinating how music seems to relieve ticks for a lot of people with tourette’s
Maybe because playing music instruments requires full focus and train your hand to do specific things.
This is just imo tho. I never look it up.
"We developed a look for when ppl look" what awesome sisters u have god bless this family always❤ bro ur a beast with the 🎸 keep it up😍❤😘
What a good looking young man, inside and out! Such a wonderful and positive attitude. Love to see his family supports him too. Good luck and God bless.
🇨🇦🙋🙏 Hello from Ontario Canada! I have to say that this young man looks like a model. If not then he sure can be one!
He seems like a positive, nice young man. Kids can be cruel. Don't worry, buddy. It only gets better after school.
He seems like a guy you could have a real conversation with for hours. I wish him the best in his hopes and dreams ❤️
Ahh😔 poor guy I hate bullies !!, kids could be so mean..I wish if I had 1 power, it would be to put everyone who bullies others, in THEIR shoes for the day..He seems really nice..😊
You playing the guitar was buitiful, you seemed so into it and concentrated that it was inspiring
Damn bro... my mom actually has Tourette’s and she has it really bad. I got it but it’s mild. I’ve lived w her like that and I hate when people stare. I can understand his struggle. I feel for u Trevor💯
I have it too!! But luckily people don't stare, I have a good way to act like I'm flicking my hair back to hide my tics
@MorganaEly everyone has different tics, only a small amount of people swear but their mostly show in the media
Kinda rude that he’s prettier than me but ok
Well played.
😆😄😄
This sounds like you're saying someone with tourettes can't be pretty
I can’t imagine the frustration and how strong this young man is. I wish him the best life :) 💗
we had a kid with tourettes in school, his was also very bad (also always ticcing in his entire body, not as much as Trevor tho). I dont get the bullying. He cant help it. My schoolmate was not bullied (even if some kids were mean to him, but they were literally mean to everyone). Trevor seems like such a nice person, he is very smart and kind is what im seeing. Also great at guitar!
Nnnooooooooooo, how could he not have friends...people=shit He's such a nice person, I'll be friends with you !!!
Here's a tip: play guitar none stop please,.you sound great.
I used to listen to people=shit a lot, it's a good song.
I have Tourette’s too! It’s very exhausting. I’m so glad to see this guy has such a great support system, it makes a world of difference!
