While I have had TS my whole life, but had not known it until I was 31(I'm 48 now), I have often wondered if there was an actual scale of not the severity of a tic or tics, but on a scale of one to ten, how severe is ones TS? Personally speaking, since my diagnosis, I had been a 7 at one time years ago, but have mostly been about a 3. With the new tics that I have recently developed, and the usual tics, I am a 5. I am a public servant. A custodian. I often see others looking at me when I tic. Though the other custodians know and respect me. I am always ready to answer and educate anyone who would happen to ask why I do some of the quirky things that I do.
