Hey! I saw that the forums page also included "queer support" and community, just wanted to ask if there are any people who identify as LGBTQ? I am aroace I think, have been figuring that out for a while. I just wanted to see if there was anyone else who was queer or identified with the aroace spectrum specifically? Thanks! EDIT: I'm demi- aro and sapphic, and asexual! I'm also non-binary I think :)

Hey! The question is pretty much the title, but I think I've been having tics recently. They look like tics, typical head or hand jerks and small sounds, but I don't know if they are truly out of my control, I don't think about doing them, they just happen, though they do sometimes happen more frequently if I think about them. Some feel more out of control and out of the blue then others, those scare me a little. I haven't told anybody, except for my boyfriend, who was getting concerned one day when it was happening like every minute and was causing me pain. (I'm so sorry if anything in this triggers somebody's tics, if so please let me know so I can change it.)

Hi! I was wondering if u had any websit recommendations for fidget/sensory toys, i have like a billion at home but i just love them!❤️ Maybe you could start to make your own! Thank you!

So my parents noticed my tics when I was around 6 or 7 years old. They were small movements and sounds, nothing that really has a big effect on me. They knew what it was because my dad is diagnosed with tourette syndrome. When I was 13 or 14 they started to get worse and more noticable and I began to push for a diagnosis. We consulted with my gp and I was referred to a behavioral specialist but then we never followed up with it. I'm 17 now and have been trying to figure out a way to explain my tics to people at school and teachers and stuff but I get so embarrassed and I don't know what I can or can't say without a diagnosis. I feel like I've just been faking this for like ten years. Any advice would be great 😂
