Lets say I plan on doing 4 sets of 12 reps sometimes I make it so I have to hit those exactly when maybe 3 sets was enough and on my last set I only got 10 reps but I quickly lower the weight and bust out 2 more reps.

He's a wonderful young man, but has struggled with this all during school and now adult hood. He has days when it's less noticeable than others, sometimes as the day progresses and he tires it's more noticeable. I do think people are becoming more aware and less harsh in the judgment; but there's still a long way to go to understand and never a reason to be nasty to one who suffers from this or anything else. Beautiful post. Sandy There’s a young man I see at work on a pretty regular basis who suffers from this; though I’m not sure which type he has and it’s sad to see how people react to him. He’s a wonderful young man, but has struggled with this all during school and now adult hood. He has days when it’s less noticeable than others, sometimes as the day progresses and he tires it’s more noticeable.

I do think people are becoming more aware and less harsh in the judgment; but there’s still a long way to go to understand and never a reason to be nasty to one who suffers from this or anything else.

Beautiful post.

You are most welcome. It is a harsh world out there for so many people. I wish that the minds of the ignorance in this world would understand that they are not here to be judges...and that we are all equal in heart and soul. Too many people believe that our body image is who we are....they so miss the real meaning of life and heart. Here is a link to my forum in case you were wondering where the heck I was putting this video:) http://womenselfesteem.proboards.com/index.cgi? It has been a pleasure! DorothyL www.womensselfesteem.com Hello again…

My son has always been very open about his disorder if people ask. You're right in that people fear what they don't understand, consequently, then tend to make jokes about it. I did my English paper on this issue because of the reactions my son and others like him so often receive. I also have a friend with Cerebral Palsy and the reactions he gets are so ridiculous that it makes me angry! I believe it won't be long before I have a similar post on that. Tell your son to keep his chin up and don't let it get him down. I'm sure he is a beautiful person inside and the people who count already know that! :) Dorothy L: Thank you so much for the lovely comment.

My oldest son has suffered from a facial oral muscle motor disability since birth and we both felt and had to deal with so many of your experiences in dealing with how people act or react when they are unaware of the circumstances of another's situation. I always put it in a perspective that they are afraid of what thy do not understand and knee jerk reactions to fear of the unknown definitely do vary. I have taken the liberty of posting this video in my self-esteem forum as I think it is worth sharing. Sometimes the people with the disability deal with it better than those without! Again thank you so very much ! ~D~ I want to thank your son for his courage and amazing strength in bringing this awareness to us.

Its interesting reading about the disorder from someone who suffers it, because they explain things how i would which shows me that im not a complete weirdo (at least the tourettes part isnt why i am). My brother is alos pursuing a bachelors in pyschology (he also suffers from tourettes). Very good interview, i think if i meet anybody who wants to know more about our disorder, ill refer them here.
