People always ask me if I get frustrated having to explain my self all the time. But honestly I'd be explaining Tourrette's no matter what job I did. Every time I get on a train or in a taxi I have to. At least on Twitch I get to open thousands of people's minds. (pt1)
Every time I explain myself on stream, more people understand my condition. As more people become aware, life gets safer for us. It's scary going out the door not knowing if someone will attack you. It's easy to misunderstand coprolalia. (pt2)
So yes it can get repetitive. I wish I didn't have to put "tourettes" as part of the title for all of my streams and youtube videos. It can get boring to answer the same questions over and over again. But I still feel insanely lucky to be in a position to change things. (pt3)
Thanks to Twitch I get to make the content I needed back when I was young. If I didn't have a stereotype about tourette's, I would have known I had it a lot sooner. I would have had a diagnosis, an education, and more access to the world. (pt4)
And now I get messages from people saying that they discovered that they had tourette's through my channel. Or that they have a disability, but they still want to try streaming, or even just getting out in the world. And I wanted to thank The community for that. (pt5)
When you support me, you are showing people who face challenges like mine that we have a place in the world. You are showing us that it's worth reaching out and connecting. So thank you for changing my life, and for making the world a better place for people like me.
I don't have Tourrette's but I know what that's like having to explain to people why you are they way you are.
Dude. That's such a cool profile pic!
It's pretty much like that for a lot of handicap honestly, I'm highly visually impaired (but not blind, so its not necessarily obvious to some people) and I have to repeat quite often how I cannot see something, or the light lever hurts my eyes since I'm albino, etc
Does Canada have a different definition of blindness? I also have what's considered "profound vision impairment" and because my vision is worse than 20/200 corrected, I'm blind. I'm not TOTALLY blind, but I'm not allowed to drive and I need someone to describe stuff to me often.
