why do people with tics say bad words?

1.05K views

I’m asking because this streamer has tics and a video is going around of her saying all of these bad words when she tics and people in the comments were sympathizing and some even were talking about how they can relate, so my question is why do people with tics say bad words when they tic and why does it seem common?

My mom worked in special education. Those kinds of tics make something like 10% of cases, maybe not an exact number but it is very small. But if someone’s tic is to twitch their shoulder, you won’t notice it nearly as often, and if they don’t tell you they have Tourette’s, you might not notice at all. They just *seem* to make a large percentage because it’s so obvious when it happens.
