I mean, I have actually read up on this.

And apparently, so obviously with Tourette's, you've got your motor tics and your vocal tics.

Now, apparently, and whether this is true or not, I don't know.

So I'm just reading up off the internet from here.

Apparently, because the way you're driving, your brain focusing so much, obviously such a dangerous task.

your uh it suppresses the motor side of things more and then increases the vocal side so i will whistle i will click i will tell people they can't park in places um i'll moo at cows i'll do all sorts and but because i have music on as well really loudly music i find really helps and it's been proven a lot of people find music helps them

Luckily, as I say, I haven't got to the stage where it's got that bad, I can't drive.

Now, if it ever gets to that stage, fair enough, I'll have to say, like, I can't drive anymore, I'm going to have to hand my licence in.

But it hasn't happened yet, and hopefully it doesn't, because I'm in the middle of nowhere, so it'll be very difficult for me.

Now, again, I think it depends on the person.

So with myself, if it had been myself, I would say go for it because, as I said, it raises awareness, admittedly in a comedic way, but it still raises awareness.

If that person's happy with doing it that way, then fair enough.

It depends on the person.

So say, for example, yourself, if you had Tourette's and you were like, no, I don't like being publicly laughed at or anything like that, then fair enough.

But with myself or something, I don't mind too much.

Again, as I mentioned before, if you're laughing at me, it's a bit different to laughing with me.

Yeah, of course.

I think it depends on the person.

So with myself, as I sort of said before, I'd rather someone react and ask if they were curious or wanted to know more or just wanted to know in general, really, what was up.

Because I think it shows a little bit of compassion, personal human compassion.
