Have you been diagnosed or suspect you may have Tourette’s Syndrome (TS), ADHD, OCD later in life? You might be exploring what’s known as the Tourettic Triad – the frequent co-occurrence of TS, ADHD, and OCD. This unique neurodiverse profile can present some challenges, it can be a frustrating journey and feel very lonely and confusing without support, but with the right strategies, you can begin to navigate them with more confidence and embrace your strengths and unique profile. Autism is also a large factor in the Tourettic Triad, and it is common to have a mixture (if not, all of these conditions together)!
When most people think of Tourette Syndrome (TS), they often picture involuntary movements or vocal outbursts. Thanks to mainstream media portrayals, the condition is frequently reduced to the stereotype of coprolalia (involuntary swearing), despite this being a symptom for only a small percentage of individuals.
For decades, neurodivergent individuals—especially autistic people, ADHDers, and those with related conditions—have been categorized by "functioning labels." These labels, such as high-functioning or low-functioning, are often used by professionals, educators, and even family members to quickly describe how someone appears to navigate the world. But what if those labels aren’t helpful at all? What if, in fact, they are not a realistic description of the neurodivergent experience, reinforcing stigma, and may lead to a lack of support and understanding.
