Does anyone else here have both Tourette's Syndrome and Sensory Processing Disorder (or like, sensory things from something like ADHD or autism)? I was wondering if anyone else feels like their tics get worse when they are overstimulated

They really do. Like now when I'm starting college and I want to find new friends here and there are meetups where I could easily find new people to talk to but it's too loud with too many people and so someone comes up to talk to me and I'm unable to say anything...(unfortunately that is what happened yesterday)

Because it is really hard to understand something that isn't your experience. Coming from the other end, I had a hard time understanding sexual attraction was an actual thing (being ace and growing up very religiously), and it took a friend explaining to me how it was real and some time thinking about it before I accepted that. So it just takes some time. There's a difference between people who just don't understand, and people who refuse to listen or put in the effort to understand (and idk which one your cousin is but I'm just saying)

It sounds like you probably experience romantic attraction: You seem to be interested in having romantic relationships with real people. So I would say you probably identified it correctly here, you just have a lot of anxiety And potentially a touch aversion, or just not caring as much about physical contact. Which is not required for romance, even if that's generally what you see in media

I just finished reading that book!

What books have you read that have good representation?

I'm always wary of books about neurodivergent characters written by neurotypicals, bc it is really hard to find good representation
