One of my best students ever got a really nasty tic starting around age 10. He was a very handsome and smart boy, very popular. When he started twitching and making the sounds, he was so ashamed that he had to stop coming to the class. His friends ranged from understanding to supportive, but the sounds did disturb the class flow someitmes-- and I think the more we tried to make him feel okay about it, the more humiliated he felt at being "that guy."
Not to trivialize him or anyone else, but the existence of conditions like that is one of the primary reasons that I cannot believe in anything like an omni-3 god. Hearing that a kid like that is being "tested" makes me wish that God was real and that I could light the fucker on fire. I'll reserve comment on how it makes me feel about the people who want to use a disorder as evidence of God's fucking love.
