Another TikToker with Fake Tourette’s

It is SUCH a bizarre choice for malingerers. Can any real or armchair DL psychologists with a better understanding of sociogenic illness explain this phenomenon?

I miss the days of mental institutions instead of broadcasting this shit

Is she American or British?

I'll eat shit for Likes.

Someone said on the "baby drop" thread, that a state once made it legal for parents to abandon children of ANY age at E.R.s, not just unwanted newborns, and that the E.R.s were immediately overwhelmed by parents trying to make their mentally ill teenagers wards of the state and somebody else's problem.

If there's a fad for psychogenic Tourette's, I can see why.

And you STILL don’t want abortion on demand, half of America?

That was embarrassingly awful. She should be ashamed of herself for trying to get attention by pretending to have this.

She should also be ashamed for not knowing how to do her make up. If she's proven to be fake will she get cancelled?

"I'm gonna choke slam you bitch"🤣

Actors say that the most important thing about trying to look drunk or otherwise impaired, is to remember that the persons suffering the impairment is doing everything in their power to look normal, to keep the problem from showing.

Nobody tell this bitch, she's much more entertaining doing it super badly.

who says she CLAIMS to have Tourettes? Maybe she is just cosplaying for shits and giggles.

Lol

I feel like if one was motivated enough, one could slap this supposed affliction right out of her.

I saw this girl’s videos ages ago and it was so incredibly obvious she was faking it I couldn’t believe anyone would fall for it. But so many believe she’s being genuine.

Crazy enough she’s actually not faking

Does she have a GFM page where we can all contribute to ?

If you go on TikTok you will see tons of these girls. It’s so many that the healthcare industry is commenting.

Tik Tok is the land of self diagnosis. It's cool to be 'neurodivergent', a bullshit term for oddball. The funniest ones are the multiple personality ones that record their varying 'alts' as they maniacally refer to them.

Attention seeking has a huge outlet with the internet unfortunately.

I think she's tremendous!

She’s transhandicapped, OP. It’s not fake.

This didn't happen so frequently twenty years ago, because BULLYING was more common back them.

Send these bitches back to 1995 - 2005 and they will get cured for sure.

[quote]Another TicToker with Fake Tourette’s

I learned about people like her when I erroneously joined an online health group and then quit due to encountering such behavior. Now I know why doctors get jaded by people like this

Had a College housemates with legit Tourette's. She was constantly breaking all our mugs and spilling water from the kettle everywhere, as well as twitching facially or blurting out the odd non-sequiter now and then. She was also constantly knitting or doing intricate makeup, because she claimed the focus required kept her hands and mind busy enough not to tic. She seemed chagrined by her condition, and never told people unless she had to or it became too apparent to pass off. I liked her.

It's the new "cutting."

Too bad one of her tics isn't applying hair conditioner.

Its like they all have 'autism' now - something that was 90% male is now largely female.....yeah sure.....

She's hilarious whether or not she actually has it.

That is some bad acting.

Oh, she’s just so adorable and special! Pick me! Pick meeee!

You office gays realize this is tomorrow’s cubefrau?

R27 yes, female autism is overreported and self-diagnosed (usually by lonely teens online), though I don't think officially overdiagnosed. Consider that women were almost never diagnosed prior to the 2010s--there's a lot of backlog and a lot of cases that have flown under the radar.

Source: I'm a woman who has it, and just to get an initial assessment leading to diagnosis it was a rigorous multi-step process that took years involving several different unconnected health/medical personnel. It's also not something to wish for or to take lightly.

Here’s the OG. She got sooooo much attention for pretending she had to ENDURE music through headphones she started this trend!

R32 weird that she struggles with loud music through headphones. It's the only thing that calms me down sometimes.

What gets me is certain jarring environmental sounds that are erratic in tone or rhythm--think throat clearing/coughing, traffic, construction, babies crying. Those can send me feral if they go on too long.

In those moments, my Calmer earbuds are a genuine lifesaver. Idk how they do it, but those little silicone nubs take at least half the agitating power out of the sounds assaulting my brain and make them bearable. They work really well for tinnitus relief, as well. I don't do paid promo or buy into hype for products (fuck hypercapitalism), but if I had to accept a sponsorship deal for anything it would be these, because they actually work as advertised and improve my life.

R33 She’s a fraud…but she’s SO CUTE with her little gang sign eyebrow shave!

Autistic people don't make facial expressions like the girl in R32 does. They are emotionless like dolls.

I watched this loony tranny that I semi-know through someone on TikTok. He has every illness known to man and did an entire video on how he’s autistic. Then he mentions that he was self-diagnosed thanks to watching TikTok videos.

He did other videos on autistic vs allistic. It’s crazy.

It looks real to me. My daughter was diagnosed with Tourette’s at age 5. That was one of the saddest and scariest days of my life. At the time, watching videos like this freaked me out. We are so fortunate that my daughter grew out of her tics at around 12.

People don’t realize that Tourette’s is a syndrome. There is no blood test or biological marker. It is diagnosed based on a set of behaviors. And it is on a spectrum with anxiety and other disorders (so that if tics go down, anxiety may go up).

I have no problem with people making fun of people. But I expect OP’s video and girl are for real. I wouldn’t make fun of her for her tics. I do question the judgment of putting a video like that out in the world, but maybe it helps some people understand that this condition is real.

Through the whole video I was trying to think of who she looks like; it's that British "trans woman" who used to be a child antiques expert. I just google it: Lauren Harries. Seriously, dead ringer.

I'm confused she seems legit. Y'all know it's not like being forced to say something right? Lmao. It's more like Robin Williams without the wit.

Also tics doesn't equal Tourette's

She's fucking ridiculous and off her rocker. People who believe her are hopeless idiots, too. Next she'll be saying she's a quadruple amputee.

There was a documentary I watched recently that interviewed a doctor who said he was suddenly overwhelmed by young, teenage girls claiming they had Tourette's. Except that every single one of them was saying the same word over and over. The word was "beans." When he did some research, there was a girl on Tik Tok claiming she had Tourette's (she didn't) and she had a HUGE following. The word she kept saying over and over was...you guessed it, "beans."

This is the new fad. This girl is faking it too.

Is this the same girl?

[quote]"It went from like 10 tics a day to 40 tics a day. And then COVID happened and it went from 40 tics a day to 500 tics a day. It was isolating, it was depressing," the New York native explains, sharing that everyday tasks became a struggle.

[quote]"Getting dressed, brushing my teeth, eating food, sitting down at the dinner table, I couldn't do it," Dupree, now 20, says. "From accidentally slapping my ex-boyfriend in the face to accidentally hitting my mom with a frying pan. It had been a whirlwind of emotions trying to accept it."

Well, I never in all my life!

If my mother named me Baylen, I'd "accidentally" hit her with a frying pan too.

OP’s target looks like that dykey bruiser sidekick girl who was on iCarly and wrote a scathing book about her dead momager.

R43 yes, same girl. She’s clearly gotten better at acting in OP’s video.

Excellent work.

Women seem to pick up all these hysterical ailments. I wonder if they Borderline, a predominately female personality disorder.

It’s not fake, it’s trans.

Munchausen's By Proxy is also a very much a female illness, too.

Which is trans^.

There's a new Washington Post article that intersects with some of this. It's about the deaf community's alarm at the growing trend of fake sign language on TikTok. One of the worst offenders naturally cries "gatekeeping." This link bypasses the paywall.

All the pro-transgender people will claim there’s no such thing as transhandicapped, transracial — they’re such hypocrites.

At first, I thought she was auditioning for something. This is so fucking stupid and fake.

R49/R51 perhaps countless centuries of women being sheltered, conditioned and treated like helpless dependent pets or infants could be to blame? Mother passing trauma down to daughter? Just a thought?

I guess we’ll have to apologize to this guy.

"It looks real to me. My daughter was diagnosed with Tourette’s at age 5."

It doesn't look real to me, the movements are too slow and conscious, she's playing them up rather than trying to look normal, like a person with real tics does.

R53 Why is the word deaf capitalized in that article? It's a sacred word now I guess.

"Other notable ‘fake interpreters’ include the man who interpreted Nelson Mandela’s funeral in 2013" Did a fake Mandela translation really fucking affect your life?

[quote] perhaps countless centuries of women being sheltered, conditioned and treated like helpless dependent pets or infants could be to blame? Mother passing trauma down to daughter? Just a thought?

Nah. Most of these women come from privileged backgrounds. They’re pampered.

R57.

I thought there was a drug treatment for Tourettes that significantly cut down on the tics, involuntary speech, etc.? It seems like I would be trying that first rather than the TikTok Treatment Protocol.

[quote]Did a fake Mandela translation really fucking affect your life?

Why shouldn't deaf people have accurate translations of what's happening in the world around them? Here's an appalling anecdote that comes right before the Mandela mention:

[quote]For instance, in 2017, a news conference for Hurricane Irma featured an interpreter who signed gibberish like “pizza” and “bear monster” instead of information about evacuation orders.

R64 I agree, which is why I didn't use the hurrican example. But the Mandela thing is hardly life threatening.

Get ready for a female world with feminine logic. Race to the bottom, lowest common denominator.

Female R66? Or "female"?

We elders will remember Alyssa, the heartbreaking and obnoxious real Tourette's sufferer from True Life. She got the surgery and it didn't really do anything. I'm sure she'd be livid to see this shit.

She’d be even more livid to know that Baylen has 8.2 million followers on TikTok, and is charging $60 for an on-average 0:54-second video.

Who the fuck would want a cameo from her? The only cameo I'd consider is Dr. Now.

The Mandela incident is historically significant. The fact that that fraud was hired is an embarrassment.

[quote] It doesn't look real to me, the movements are too slow and conscious, she's playing them up rather than trying to look normal, like a person with real tics does.

See that’s what it is for me too. I’ve seen people with Tourette’s from severe to mild and there is a quality to the movement that this girl doesn’t have most of the time with her tics. Exactly as you said, her tics seem way too smooth conscious and calm. Plus, and this part I could be wrong about, but aren’t Tourette’s tics usually repetitive? I know not always, but this girl has an extensive array of tics and outbursts. That said, it would be exhausting to have to keep coming up with all these things to say. So, either she is quite dedicated to her con or she has to a degree (possibly) convinced herself she has Tourette’s. Or, maybe she really has it, but I’d need some people who genuinely do to weigh in before I’d be convinced.

[quote]Why is the word deaf capitalized in that article?

Before I was banned from reddit, I asked reddit when they’ll capitalize gay in light of “black”, and the responses were “never”.

I also asked to not be called a “queer” in response to a poster who called me a queer, and I was downvoted into oblivion for it. Posters replied with “Look at this queer!” It was very rightwing and full of hate.

Sigh... back in my day, the local nut job was just that. Now they belong to the world.

R73 Wow! Fuck reddit. I only go there to read about tv shows.

I am a sufferer of Tourette's.

FUCK YOU.

Condole me.

FUCK YOU SCUM.

[quote] It was very rightwing and full of hate.

No, that’s Left wing. Progressives.

Because there isn't MAGA FUCK R54.

Gender dysphoria however, had already been vastly documented in psychiatric books of the 1970s.

But republicans love being ignorant.
