How to write a character with tourettes (by someone with tourettes)

So here it is:

when writing a tic, don’t write “*tic*” write the actual thing out. such as “My tics acted up, causing me to punch my chest hard” or ““Fuck!” I ticced”

don’t suddenly remember the characters tourettes or use it for dramatic affect. yes, it can cause some dramatic moments in your story, but dont do the “oh fuck i forgot to write in their tourettes for the past ten chapters, hm well maybe i can make them twitch violently during a fight”

also, dont make their tourettes their entire character, were people, not walking disorders.

DO YOUR RESEARCH: 

some basic facts include:

10% of tourettes havers have swearing tics

for it to be tourettes, it has to appear before age 18 or anytime from a traumatic brain injury

there are different types of tic disorders

comorbid disorders are common

TIC ATTACKS: they dont last two seconds and can be very traumatizing. they hurt like hell and tire the person out

Those are some basic things on how to write a character with tourettes/tics, feel free to leave more suggestions in the reblogs

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

i know hearing people on this website love to pass around those posts with links to free sign language lessons but you know you need to actually put effort into learning about Deaf culture, too, right?
