Hello! (Just want to say that my tics have only present for a bit over three months.) One time my friend tried to give me a tic which was really frustrating and I don't know what to say if people do this, (same friend also one time asked, "What if your just faking all of this?") But also how you deal with people teasing you at school. Some kids at school were mocking one of my tics and laughing right in front of me in my math class. I kind of just hid in the bathroom for 5 minutes and never ended up telling my teacher. I didn't know how to tell my teacher as it hasn't happened since. I know I should tell one of the teachers, and they should know why thats not ok. How do I deal with this if it happens in the future? (This happened over a month ago so I don't know what to do, sorry.)
(Sorry this whole paragraph is very confusing and hard to read-)
I had an experience with a boy saying that I was faking it. My friends helped me tell the SEND lead at my school. (I have Tourette syndrome) don’t fight it makes it worse but remember to stand up for yourself!
