This comment is so ridiculous. First of all, it’s not her fault that she’s famous, she spreads awareness about the NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER she has, it’s not a disease. Tourette syndrome doesn’t make someone special, it’s just naturally apart of them, it’s what makes them them. Tics can seem well rehearsed and “perfect”, but that doesn’t mean anything, as all tics are different. She does have a disability/neurological disorder.
Not everyone with Tourette syndrome says rude things, so don’t create a stereotype by saying EVERY PERSON with TS ONLY says curse words when that’s caused by Coprolalia, it’s rare, only 10% of people with TS have it. It’s random and not premeditated, but the rude words or cursing is caused by Coprolalia, that’s not their fault.
Tourette syndrome is not developed by kids attention seeking, actually really nobody knows what it’s ACTUALLY caused by, maybe trauma, maybe it’s genetic, but it’s different for everyone. It’s not even a habit.
“Simple solution. Correct your kids”..BY DOING WHAT?? A hard slap on the face won’t cure anything, actually if you do that, it could 100% make the tics worse. If your child says something like that due to a tic, you can’t expect that tic to magically go away just because you slapped them. It doesn’t sort it out, why would violence help? Tourette syndrome isn’t based on discipline. I have Tourette syndrome and my parents were extremely abusive/(went overboard with discipline), and I still ended up having TS.
