Tourette: Unscripted on My Own Terms Hats

Tourette pride can start with choosing how to introduce yourself. The Tourette Association of America's AuthenTICallyMe campaign supports deciding when and how to disclose and how to define yourself. In community accounts, wearers describe the relief of a TS shirt and the accomplishment of ticcing freely. Those are individual experiences, and this collection leaves room for different tastes in disclosure and humor. The CDC distinguishes motor and vocal tics, repeated movements and sounds. It also explains that most people with Tourette do not have coprolalia. This collection therefore gives motion its own place beside the voice jokes: an imaginary fired choreographer, an unconsulted PR team and a personal pride parade. MY TOURETTE TICS ME OFF draws on a pun found on existing shirts and reported by a wearer, while TIC CHIC is a compact style joke rather than a claim to established community slang. Teal thread on one pride badge nods to the association's teal awareness campaign. Other designs favor white thread and contrasting light crowns, giving both the short badges and longer declarations distinct treatments. The PR-team joke and the fired-choreographer joke each have a second colorway. Choose the statement that fits your own relationship with Tourette, custom embroidered on a dad hat.
