28. Talk about your mental disability - a form of tourettes known as Vocal Tics.


I have Vocal Tics, a form of tourettes, as you stated in the question. Some of you that have been around me may have noticed it. It appears much like a stutter, however that is not what it is.

Basically, it is a central nervous disorder that causes you to make noises using your tongue, throat and chest muscles. Some people will grunt. I mostly tic my tongue inside my mouth. Sometimes is sounds of a humming propeller like noise. If I a drink a lot of caffeine or some alcohol, it will become more pronounced.


I don?t worry with it now, however I do commonly have sore spots on my tongue?s tip. When I was young, it was tough. I had to go see central nervous order doctors. They would hook wires up to my head and leave the room. Then the nurse would come back and say,

?Was that a noise??

I would say

?No.?

The games played. I was embarrassed about it as a youth. I am agreat speaker, you will never notice it if I am saying something important or public speaking, you only notice it when I am super casual. Par for the course for the ailment.
