Title: Tourette Syndrome
Post by: Debs. on 01 June 2008, 22:25:31: Just got one eye on More4 and a programme called "My Street"......one of the featured characters is a Tourette`s sufferer; I know it`s not funny to mock the afflicted, but watching him ordering a pizza (by telephone) whilst issuing a steady stream of deeply-offensive and pornographic words at the shop worker; I found it terribly hard to keep a straight face. :-[
I wonder how many 'non-understanding' people the poor chap has been assaulted by in his life? :'(

It is a dehabilitating illness and should not be treated as a joke!

How would you feel if you were a sufferer and read this thread?

Post by: Entwood on 02 June 2008, 16:49:49: Whilst to a very few "true" sufferers, it may be debilitating, there are far too many foul mouthed, bad mannered, pond lives who have grabbed hold of yet another "label" as an excuse for their miserable self-centered way of living.

All I seem to hear these days is "Tourettes" "ADHD" "Asbergers", Dyslexia" etc etc etc ... 90% of the time an excuse for bad manners, bad behaviour and poor parenting......

Lets blame a condition and not the laziness of parents who can't be bothered to teach their offspring how to behave correctly - and that includes how to learn.

lets face it .. it CAN'T be the parents fault can it .. they are all perfect ......

Post by: LJay on 02 June 2008, 17:00:36: glad you see it that way! can i assume that i am a bad parent then and that this is the reason my son has autism!! should i assume that i am wholly to blame when he comes out with inappropriate comments in public?

it is the predjudiced and frankly disgraceful views of people like you who make disability an issue!

i'm damn sure you would feel differently if it was you or yours!

How did we get from Tourette's to Autism to "predjudiced and frankly disgraceful views" ???

Unless of course others are not allowed an opinion based on research ???

'nuf said methinks.

Post by: LJay on 02 June 2008, 18:53:41: we got there because you brought autism into a tourette debate!

and im guessing there is only enough said because these issues arent in your back garden!

please be careful how you use your labels!
