- Documenting our tics and superpowers
- Over the years my public conversations about my tourettes syndrome have introduced me to many other people with this exciting, surprising and certainly never boring condition. I have found that most people find me more interesting because of my various tics and associated 'super powers'.
- I have decided to document my own conditiona dn those who share that with me, typically they are contributors to the No Agenda Podcast
- Mine (Adam Curry)
- Tics
- [current] Twitching of neck, shoulders, thigh muscles, mild grunting, tightly squeezing eyelids closed
- Super Powers
- Lightening fast response to fallig items. Snatching tipped glasses mid air
- Photographic memory for Numbers, Addresses, timecodes
- Micromho
- Tics
- Stuttering, various other OCD behaviors. I'm pretty sure Tourette's is just a part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
- Super Powers
- In school, I was class champion in Dodgeball. Pretty much sucked at every other sport, though. As far as cognitive abilities, I have fairly good aptitude in math and science, so I managed to get a degree in nuclear engineering without too much trouble.

- restless eyeballl / hard quick blink disorder
- Super Powers

- Tics
- electric energy and straining various body parts. Twisting one foot is a favorite, while walking. You act like something's wrong with your foot and twist it super hard
- Super Powers
- 1) Photographic memory, memory of dance routines exactly as taught. I go back to beginning and say, "let me ask the robot." All Virgos have a built-in, inner robot. Robot power. That's why routine helps them.
- 2) Tape recorder in your ear, easy replay of melody (and rhythm!), easy learning where to put fingers on a violin or any fretless, helping muscle memory.
