i HATE how the internet views tourettes and tic disorders

i started developing tourettes last school year and it was such a horrible, embarrassing, scary, time of my life. yes i am normal, no im not contagious, no im not faking, no i didnt get this from south park, no i dont swear every second. i feel like the 2021 tic faking pandemic has brought so much negativity towards peoples who actually have it and now im stuck in the aftermath, shoved under neurologists rubble and slowly digging my way out with lorazepam and fidget toys. once i got told that someone could "hear" my tics.. the lack of education is INSANE. i feel like theres a ton of blame for the lack of tic research as well. i literally have done studies on myself and i will publish them if neurologists dont get to work and stop giving antipsychotics out instead of doing studies. also why are people on tiktok calling other peoples tics cute? NO THEYRE TORTUROUS. tics are cute, theyre the body fucking glitching.

can we talk about how everyone suddenly has a doctorate and is a registered psychologist with 10 years of training and specializes in tourettes because why is whenever someone with tourettes posts online they always say "ur faking" or they ask "why didnt you tic in _" or other bullshit. DO UR RESEARCH!!!
