So you've got, say, coprolalia, which is the obscenities.

When I first, as I say, mine's only sort of got really bad like that recently.

Now, I'll only say, I haven't said anything worse than that, but my regular ones go, fuck yourself, or I will randomly swear, which I get some funny looks at with passers-by, like, why did you just swear at me?

And so luckily I've not been hit or anything like that.

i'd rather not be out there but yeah you've got also echolalia which is someone repeating so a lot of times people repeat so i say you'll say a word and i'll repeat multiple times is that they're all sort of latin latin-y sort of greek sort of words but there's quite a few different types but the main two you saw here is obviously the copperalia and echolalia so mine are more reactive um so as i say something will trigger it

Like, as I say, I, uh, my example was, uh, when I was working in the laundry, I was trying to ask for a basket and I sometimes, um, I'll start.

So I went, can I get a bar, bar, bar, bar?

I'm a sheep.

Just randomly said, I'm a sheep.

And, um,

Or I used to see a cow and go, moo, just randomly moo at a cow.

But most normal people don't.

Well, some people do, but that's another story.

it's well i think they've started to improve really in terms of like when i first got really bad i was like nearly hitting people with my elbow throwing say sandwiches across the office but um yeah so since then i say probably the worst one probably most dangerous one i've had is i'm doing the dishes and you know really big knives for like cutting rather than the small ones it's always the big ones but which look like they should be in a slasher film

i will pick that and start doing the stabbing motions with it obviously not at anyone or even that to myself but i will pick up so i have to ask my sister and my mum be like do you mind just washing that one up for me like only that one i'm drying it and putting it away all the other smaller knives anything like i mean i've broke glasses before doing dishes um let's just say that's nothing really you just buy a new glass but um yeah so yeah probably the most dangerous one i've had is probably just stabbing i mean i've cut my finger before

I just randomly cut my finger.

That has to be scary, isn't it?

It can be.

I mean, that's the only time I've, touch to say, that is the only time I've ever done it.

Cut my finger.
