I posted the other week about a german phenomenon, but apparently this is much more widespread than that.

I read this article a few days ago. Apparently they say beans for some reason

This is what happens when you rely on tiktok to babysit your child

---

Either this is one giant hoax, or the younger generations are in trouble...

---

I don't mean to downplay the issue but I really do understand it.

Are people seeing behaviors in others and subconsciously copying?


---

I'm not sure that's how Tourette's works
---

This like accent copying.
It goes away when around people without it.

This isn't tourettes what the fuck

Its kids being just fucking stupid as fuck

---

Anything to be the next meme. Including making light of an actual condition.

They aren't developing shit, they're faking it.

Which is 100x worse and offensive to people who have Tourettes.

Topic title doesn't quite match the article content

The patients symptoms differ meaningfully from those of classical Tourettes Syndrome, the most well-known tic disorder, he said. First of all, Tourettes tics tend to start between the ages of 5 and 7Martino said they have not yet seen a patient younger than 11. While Tourettes patients skew male, these referrals were nearly all girls and young women who tended to also have anxiety or a mood disorder. And, they suffered more extreme symptoms than Tourettes patients.
...
Though these patients do not have Tourettes, Martino added that their symptoms are no less legitimate and merit specific treatment.

Tik Tok is a generational tragedy, if Im being completely honest. It does nothing positive for humanity and only breeds more vapid thinking. They splice together popular lines from movies and then insert their own text over their own videos. Making it damn tasking to understand the intent behind their post in the first place. They just rehash shit that isnt even 20 years old.

They're calling it tourette's-like, but given the extreme variability in symptomology in all psychiatric disorders, and there's no known etiology of tourette's, it's pretty much not meaningful for the point here. The overlap in symptoms between these patients and tourette's patients is likely higher than any two patients with depression for instance.

Doesn't seem too meaningful to me, plus it wasn't possible to fit in the title.

This reminds me how much I miss Tourette's Guy from early Youtube >_> Anyone remember him?
