Oh my god, I was totally willing to watch this with an open mind, with compassion and understanding for her condition, and a willingness to appreciate what she had to say. But oh dear god those teeth...

Serious British teeth. Bless her heart.

Serious question. How do you know if someone has Tourettes or is just fucking with you?

Next question, once you know someone really has it, how do you know if they are really saying stuff because of the tourettes or again, to just fuck with you?
Or doing it to get gov disability.

For you old timer NBA fans you might remember Chris Jackson, aka Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf. Always thought it was amazing he had this condition and was able to be such a great shooter with all those spasms.

I did a research paper on Tourette's way back in high school. I remember researching him...in general when people with Tourette's are heavily engaged and concentrating on something, the condition disappears. And their obsessive compulsive nature makes them want to do it endlessly. So in Jackson's case, his condition mated perfectly with practicing free-throws.

My great uncle has a lazy eye, and during family get togethers he likes to keep you on your toes by never looking at you with his good eye... So you're never sure which one is the good one. If you're going to have a condition, you might as well have fun with it.
