People have this wierd misconception about people who have tic disorders about believing that they always have tics frequently, especially everyday, when they thankfully don’t. Thank goodness for that, by the way. Tic disorder symptoms, just like any other condition, are dynamic. So, in other words, someone could for instance have simple and or complex motor and or vocal tics frequently for the beginning four days of a week and have less simple and or complex tics for the remaining week, with the tics maybe even becoming more simple and far and few.
From the perspective of someone that has experienced the onset of tics since somewhere two years ago in early March of 2023, if my mind is not misremembering, I can attest to thankfully being able to live my life as usual without being bothered by any simple and or complex motor and or vocal tics of mine for several hours and days, especially as a result of being both distracted and focused on whatever it is I would be doing at the time. I have been meaning to eventually share this publically, but I haven’t known when or how I would like to do it in, so I reckon I might as well have it be done now that I am here.
For some reason I suddenly had this wierd simple motor tic one day that caused my head to quickly jolt backwards to my left side almost as if something had appeared to spook me from behind, or what have you. It's from here on that I would also begin to have other simple tics such as this one mouth popping vocal tic. I tried to first explain it away as just being a muscle spasm, but it’s evident, especially in retrospect, that there is something much more to it than that. It’s quite Frankly not enough to just attribute this as being some sort of weird muscle spasm rather than a motor tic. The one thing that makes this specific case of mine all the more strange and anomalous is not only the late adolescent onset at the age of 16, but also how it seems as if I am the only one in my family of five people to have a tic disorder. It still doesn’t make any sense to me, quite Frankly.
