With exchanging on dingus@lemmy.world's post, already covered that enough, I remember I read somewhere maybe here that people living with Tourette’s syndrome are saying the challenge should not identified to them, but to the world that is not adjusted yet to their living with Tourette’s syndrome. I am of two-minds really of this, dislike labels & having to use them (there is a famous & what 30-years old Alternative Music/Hard Rock song all about this) as having labels applied to me in at least a negative way (as who has not), because of the challenges. Plus I strongly agree that the worlds we all exist in are still moving way, way & way too slow to treat/respect/not use to manipulate people living with challenges/differences. With that being said I not believing it is just the outside of the person, with the challenges (reason I did not use people is because not all are not the problem as well; believing is disrespectful of full group they are, for lack of better words), that created the problem, it is also the challenge they live with. Not to say I want everyone the same mind functioning & quality, sure many readers with Tourette's syndrome who reply with that argument against, but until someone has figured-out how to live in the world with a challenge (& yes, the world has changed enough) it is also causing the person with a challenge problems. I do not know, maybe I would change my mind on this in the future; after all, the next door neighbor's roosters (50-ft. or more away from both free bedrooms' & 30-ft. or more away from living-room's hurricane widows) calls are limiting me under 6-Hrs. of uninterrupted sleep, every single night they are not wet or scared to make their calls to other neighbors' roosters.
