"Can you sit still, for a change? and stop the annoying clicking?" I'm trying hard! It doesn't work! I click, and keep on ticcing "Sit in the back, don't want to see your twisted face much longer Pick up your notepad and your pen Before I show my anger" I spent my years in school alone A quiet, silent dreamer Because of what I couldn't control I grew defensive armour And only now I understand That deep inside my heart hurts That I am allowed to be just me With my freaky quirky outbursts This is just me, a little guy Who writes and loves his wordplay Who opens up his heart for you So smile and please, please stay.

I think this is a great forum for writing about the mental health topics.

Thanks :) Sometimes I think that simplicity helps with understanding for people who do not know what it is.

Every time I go to the zoo, I steal a penguin. I am making an army! Give us an enemy to fight. : )

People regard you with such contempt. It takes time to grow thick skin.... Thanks Nette, I hope your nephew will be okay...

Tourette is a part of what makes you the person you are, same as your sense of humor and your amazing talent to languages and to write poems... And you're stuck with us ;) <3

You should get this posted on a tourettes website Darren. I worked with student's with tourettes which varied from involuntary constant swearing to facial tics... it was wonderful to see how accepting the other kids were of these students... but i know how difficult it is especially outside an environment where you are not known and other people do not understand about this condition:-( hugs jan xx

Tourette is a fun one :) .... I have never considered posting poems on a Tourette site. Tourette is just one annoying side of me. I don't do the swearing and all, facial tics yes, flpping arms yes. But I have friends here, I write poems, I am doing an MA.... I am not stupid (they used to tell me I was a retard) :) HUGS Jan xx
