Trying to sit in a classroom setting for people with Tourette's or tics can be difficult. Hand tics, for example, hands shaking, flipping people off, etc, makes it hard for people to write notes for classes. Other tics can make it difficult for people to pay attention to the lesson.
"How do teachers react to those people who are diagnosed with Tourette's or tic disorders?" You may ask. Well, they can be 1 of 2 ways. They could be understanding and kind. They might also let the person step outside of class if the person's tics are severe or if they're having a tic attack, which I will get into tic attacks in the next part. Or, they could be like most people. They"ll say, "You can control. Stop doing that." Which, we all know that us people cannot control our tics. That is why they are INVOLUNTARY.
They may even call the person a distraction and send them out of class. This can cause a lot of problems. The student would not be able to get the education they need because of a teacher not being understanding and accepting of their condition. Parents would also be coming up to the school, aggravated and probably angry with the teacher.
Other students would be staring and making fun of the person's tics and also mocking the tics. This makes the tics worse and cause pain in the person's body from constant and rapid movement in their body.
