got diagnosed had obviously an appointment with a psychiatrist got diagnosed and then carried on from then which was a weight off my shoulders because like right i know what's up with me yeah because obviously when they um really bad like motor tics or i was flinging my arms and all that kind of thing had started a lot of people like well that could potentially be parkinson's that could be this that could be that that could be all sorts because it could be anything you don't know so something as bad as that randomly starting but knowing that obviously it was tourette's was like oh

Great.

I know what's happened.

What's happened to me?

I ain't got to worry too much.

Yeah, it's nothing I can control.

And yeah, so then obviously I decided with the laundrette side, it probably was not a good idea to be working there with an iron.

Potentially burning myself.

As much as I'd love to work full time, I physically can't because I'm holding in my tics whilst out in the public.

I can go days where I don't tic hardly anything.

Like if I'm at home, it's like safe space.

I'm at home, I'm hardly tic and pretty much as soon as I leave the house, I'm...

gone um but i can go so i can go days where i'm hardly ambrose i can be a day where i am pretty much all day and i then have to take painkillers because i've pulled my neck or something like that so because i'm holding my tics in it tires me out

Yes.

So I'll have tics.

So I've had tics where I will really stupid ones.

So I'll be like standing up and make my arms really small.

I'm a T-Rex.

And obviously people laugh about that one.

I mean, I laugh about that one as well.
