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.
Cameron - Austin
  Tics
    restless eyeballl / hard quick blink disorder
  Super Powers
    i channel the funk. otherwise i too have those quick reflexes which when transferred into a 3D shooter environment makes you a badass btw. my ability to remember #'s has sadly subsided. probably thru brain cell reduction therapy. i'll check out sight asap.
Penny
  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.
