(I hate eggs. :p )
Video by a charming, funny teen with Tourette's, showing us what dealing with the condition is actually like. Spoiler: it involves a lot more muscle spasms (and collateral ovoid damage) and a *bit* less cussing, than you usually hear about.

(And as someone with recurring OCD issues, it's all... weirdly familiar. Basically, this is what you'd be seeing if you saw the inside of my brain-- I just am lucky enough to have the standard neural stuffing needed to suppress it. It's a constant stream of weird, weird repetitive babble in here-- colorful obscenities, fears about loved ones, rituals, 20-year-old media references, and REALLY bad hindbrained lyric filks you're so glad I don't share. 😳)

@zebratron2084 Our brains were designed by committee, we're lucky they run in the first place.

Sounds all very usual, yes.
I was martyred twice by sovereign order on the drive to work, today!

Of course, we've all got a *little* of that going on in our heads... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPIuDOihRlQ (cw: extremely mild self-satirical racism in video)
I'm strongly of the opinion that most neurological "disorders" are things that happen in the brains of most "normal" humans, just turned up to 11. Nobody, *nobody* with a forebrain is wholly sane and rational.
