<p dir="auto">there was one guy with Tourette's in the subway today and i have to admit after i got out of the subway i have never laughed at a disability so much in my life.<br />
now, i know that sounds harsh but it's not the actual disability i was laughing at, it was the things the sufferer was saying.<br />
quotes such as (in German) "i'm up to my knees in cow pat", "i'm a chicken ****ter" and "chopper dyed his pubes ginger" are so out of context with everyday conversations i barely could hold my laughter in.<br />
then there was the rather disturbing side, such as "i'm a rapist" and "i'm not a gay man".<br />
i felt a bit guilty afterwards, but it was nearly impossible to hold back the laughter and judging by people's faces in the subway many felt the same. at least i didn't burst out with laughter in the presence of the poor guy. lol<br />
do u think it's acceptable to laugh at such a disability? i didn't see it as laughing at the issue, bc it's obvious it's a massive hindrance in people's lives, but it was simply what he was saying.</p>

<p dir="auto">I do engage with people but I definitely know that I don't do it as much as I really should.<br />
Plus, It is also pretty hard (for me at least) to do it when not that many people post in the threads that I make or when nobody posts in the threads that I make.<br />
I am pretty certain though that the reason why that is happening is because a MAJOR majority of the people here on this site have blocked me and so they don't see any of the threads that I make.</p>

<p dir="auto">Is that why you never engage in any dialog about movies and make these survey types of threads instead?<br />
And why you do the same movies and actresses over and over again?<br />

<p dir="auto">I don't think that it is ever okay to laugh at, attack, insult, or disrespect someone with any kind of a disability.<br />
I myself have<br />
"Asperger's with Acute Anxiety"<br />
and I have actually been insulted and disrespected a couple of times here on this site (I usually block whoever does it to me and then I just move on) because of it and because of the amount of threads and kinds of threads that I make (and I do think that my disability is a bit of a factor in it and also why I make so many almost every single day) and I have indeed tried my very best (and I still do very much try my best) to slow it down with it, I have learned though that it is actually easier said than done.<br />
I do believe in myself that I can do it though and I don't let any of the insults and disrespect that I get here (or anywhere else) stop me.</p>

<p dir="auto">Well… not everyone with Tourette’s is like that. Those who are like that suffer from what is called coprolalia, a condition that causes people who suffer from it to involuntarily and repetitively use obscene language. It’s a condition that is linked with mental illness or brain disease.<br />
However, most people with Tourette’s have tics that aren’t obscene or verbal. They may repeatedly clear their throat, shrug their shoulders, or tap their fingers together, among many other things.<br />
As for whether it’s wrong to laugh at people with Tourette’s who also deal with coprolalia, that’s entirely up to you to decide. You can laugh and be a bad person, or you can keep yourself from laughing and be a good person. It’s up to you, kiddo.<br />
