Today one of my students let me know that they had a diagnosis for some muscle tics that they have experienced for several years.
Them: It's Tourettes
Me: That's brilliant! I mean, not that you have it, but that you *know* now.
Them: Yes. And it's NOT MY FAULT.
I need people to understand that getting diagnosed, getting a "label", does not change who you are! But it really, really helps to explain it. And that can be life changing in a very positive day.
