The fact she had to wait until 27 for a diagnosis is horrifying

Probably the sweetest human being on this earth

I had a friend in high school with Tourette Syndrome, and he had the best sense of humor. He had great comedic timing and would always follow up a tick with a joke. He was honestly better at socializing than most supposedly healthy people.

I laughed so hard at "so he was a champ". She has a great attitude and I am sure it took a lot to get to that.

I have tourette syndrome myself and one of those sentences I used to say was: "Let's invade Germany."

Imagine being a qualified professional and telling a child they’re attention seeking when they have Tourette’s

As someone who was diagnosed with Autism about a year ago at age 29, I can definitely relate to the relief of actually having an explanation for why I am how I am and why I do some of the things I do. Not so much to justify myself to other people, but to validate my own struggles to myself and not feel like I'm completely worthless all the time.

What a well spoken, sweet, articulate woman. When she said she wasn't ashamed of self harming in the past because she got through it and survived it, it really resonated with me. I wish her every single blessing and a life filled with happiness

Let's be honest, this woman is FAR more well socially adjusted than the majority of people on Twitch.

Her whistling has the clearest sound I ever heard coming from a human.

I found this utterly captivating. Her mode of address is so genuine and she articulated herself wonderfully. Good for her for being on such a positive track

I admire how she can stay so focused right in the midst of a tick.. never misses a question being asked, or losing train of thought. That’s good confidence and strength! 👍

Her whistling is incredible.

The tone of her whistle is like sonically perfect

I love her whistle and pop thing she does with her mouth. I have dyslexia so I actually read this as "UNLAID" instead of "UNILAD."

she has an incredibly soothing voice tone I could keep listening to her all day long...

"I killed 52,000 men" Dictators all over the world: "I too, have such a condition"

I can't believe they didn't diagnose her until she was 27. What an utter, disastrous failing of our medical system.

I really love sweet Anita for the fact she is so open and honest about her experience with tics. I have Tourette’s and my entire life I have been told it wasn’t real and that I was faking and being attention seeking. She really inspired me to love myself for who I am. ❤❤❤❤

I was also only diagnosed when I was 27 or so. I grew up with really intrusive vocal ticks and eventually learnt to handle it by training myself into non vocal ticks that were not obvious to people around me. Being diagnosed was an incredible relief not because it opened the door to treatment, but because it explained why it was happening

"I punched a guy in the dick and he stayed with me for 5 years after that so he was a champ" lol

Man imagine someone, a therapist, a psychologist Telling you that Your problem, that you can't control… is for attention seeking.

She's so cool and really well spoken, I wish I could speak that clearly and she just instantly makes you interested in what shes saying, her voice is lovely and soft, I could listen to her all day

I come from Germany and I have to say, I could listen to her for hours. Her voice, her way of speaking, her whole way of telling stories is unbelievably great to listen to. Thank you.

Aside from the ticks, she talks better than most people.

That is clearest, most beautiful whistle I have ever heard.

As a neurologist and a young woman I find this interview endlessly fascinating. She’s so relatable and so well able to express her experience. The tics are so complex and, 2:47 min into the video, somehow super cute. I’ve seen a number of tics, some involving a risk of self-harm, and find her tics very endearing somehow. I hope it’s ok to express that here because I could never tell a patient her tics are cute, obviously! I didn’t think that adjective could be applied to complex tics…

That is absolutely the best description of tourette's I have ever heard. You young lady have a great future and you are going to overcome everything. God bless you.

I'm a single dad. My daughter has Tourette's. Her mother is out of the picture. She is handling it pretty well for 13. Her friends accept her and don't judge her. Thank you for posting your story. God bless you.

She has the best whistle i have ever heard

Such a strong, amazing and beautiful human being. I'm glad to see she feels finally free and happy with her life. She is a great example to follow.

I'm so impressed by your strength and resilience. You are such an intelligent, beautiful and are obviously a kind and empathic young lady. I'm so happy you got the correct diagnosis and you have really blossomed.

That whistle is one of cleanest whistles I've heard.

The sound affects this women can make is unbelievable.

Omg, you beautiful person. This was so validating to hear someone talk about living with Tourettes. I've never been diagnosed but have had motor tics and throat tics for as long as I can remember. Growing up they always made things awkward. To hear you talk about your experiences and watch you tic as you do it, I just can't express how good it feels to watch it be acknowledged and at the same time ignored. As an adult in an office job, I always feel like I need to keep my tics under control and make them as unnoticeable as possible, so people won't think I'm weird. On a side note, I am sorry your Tourettes involves coprolalia, and that you felt like you couldn't live until your very overdue diagnosis. I don't envy that form of Tourettes. My son has it as well, and he struggles with interpersonal relationships like you did. You seem like a fantastic role model for successfully navigating life with this condition.

So clever, perfectly spoken, beautiful young lady. Very special in all terms. All the best to her.

There's a reason she's called "Sweet Anita" because she has the heart of that Grandma that slips in a $20 in your pocket during thanksgiving

“At 27 my life started” That was deep.

Wow. She's so confident in herself. I would show this interview to my daughters.

I was lucky to get the right diagnosis right away when I started having tics at age 6, even though I didn't have as much tics as her. It really hurts to hear she didn't just get the right diagnosis the first time she went to the doctor, and had to spend so much of her life not knowing why she had tics 💔

I was not expecting her to appear on this channel but I'm glad she did

Wow a lot of people on Call of Duty have the “N” word tick.

Anita is an incredible woman, someone wise beyond her years. Even for those that aren't gamers or into watching Twitch content, I highly recommend hopping into her streams from time to time. Anita does quite a bit of "Just Chatting" steams and some of the conversations and questions from chat she answers are amazing. Her YT channel is also very much worth looking through as again, it's not all gaming or your typical Twitch type content.

I wish her all of the best, she's achieved quite a lot. It's a tough condition to live with, but the woman behind the condition is coming through, and that's very important.

Her verbal skill is probably better than 90% of us even with tics.

It makes me so upset to hear that she was beaten UNCONSCIOUS when she was 12.

Felt sooo related! I have fibromyalgia (not even similar) but when you stop "taking it personally" meaning taking your syptoms as a personal fault, it is so freeing! And when free one can connect with others 💕

I cant believe your diagnosis has taken that long, im so sorry for what you've been through. Because of all this you are a very strong beautiful women and you seem that you can take on anything because of what you've been through. You must of felt so relieved when you got the diagnosis. I'm happy you can finally live your life

She's so incredibly well-spoken and her voice is so soothing. My heart broke when she talked about being beat up at school

She is the type of person I want to have conversations with. She's been through heavy storms..

Thank you for sharing this with us and helping others to understand. You are so amazingly articulate in explaining your story and I really appreciated it. ❤

What a beautiful young woman! She sounds like she'd make a great friend. It made me angry to hear what happened to her at school. It was so wrong. I can't wait to see more of her videos.

Ironically, she’s actually a great speaker

Her voice is so beautifully smooth and relaxing

Only found out about her today. Such an amazingly lovely young lady. Totally agree with what she said about context and the swearing. If other people can't handle it, that's their issue. I don't expect her to read this but - keep doing what you're doing, I'm sure you're an inspiration to a lot of people.

Great interview! I'm glad that you have showcased such a high functioning person with a real, and natural, disorder. She has clearly gained a great deal of insight as a result of dealing with her condition and is very articulate when describing her experience. Good luck, miss.

She is a wise, intelligent and beautiful woman.

as a boy with Tourette's, this video makes me unbelievably happy not only because I'm able to relate to it with passion, but because it lets me know that there are other people out there that struggle with this disorder. I was diagnosed with it at around 7 or 8 years old and all I can say is that making friends and socializing is incredibly difficult. Every person I have met that has this disorder is the most kind hearted, understanding person you'll ever meet. I think that's because they've been so hurt and mistreated by people and don't want to inflict that on others and that doesn't just apply for Tourette's. If you ever meet someone with Tourette's, please just be understanding and empathetic with them, they will like you immediately, trust me.

This is so important! I'm here because I found her UKposts channel. She definitely can be proud.

I find Anita so inspiring as she sets an example of how to come to terms with who you are without feeling the need to change. I don't have Tourette's, but I do have Aspergers (high functioning autism) and I've often struggled with awkward speech and movements and I've been told it makes people feel uncomfortable, so in that way, I feel like I can kinda relate. I hope she keeps going on and speaking out about her condition.

She's totally not offensive and looks like she's fun to be around

This girl is more socially confident than me

What an amazing young lady, claiming back her life and all by herself, she's an inspiration to many suffering the condition. I'm a CBT therapist, to hear a child went through many years being labeled as attention seeking is wrong! I loved how Anita addressed it herself with the medical field, well done!. As for the whistle and the winks/pop sounds, these are so cute, I loved her funny stories, truly impressive intelligent lady, thank you for sharing.

She seems so nice and kind, and her ticks are quite adorable honestly

I'm impressed by how she expresses herself. Very high emotional intelligence.

Aside from her ticks, which are genuinely more endearing than annoying, she's probably more articulate than i could ever hope to be.

I absolutely adore her and glad to hear her life story. I used to subscribe to her on UKposts years ago. I wish her well and hope she is happy.

Thank you, my 10 year old son has tics since 6 years old. He is so friendly with everyone and everyone loves him. But me and my wife still felt that heart ache and guilt when we watch him having those tics. Like we failed him. I know it's silly to think like that. And my son is so strong and living his life to the fullest. Maybe we all have to learn to live with it as life goes on.

I love her voice. She has such a calming voice. I could literally hear her read a book for an audiobook any day.

She has the most relaxing voice ever.

So inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story. You are so bright, articulate and funny and I'm sure sharing this will give hope to so many. Best of luck Anita 💞

I thank you for your insight and agree with your proactive approach to dealing with others. I found throughout your interview that even with your “Tics”, your communication was far more lucid and flowing than many of today’s conversations which contain meaningless fillers such as “literally, like, seriously, right?, I know I shouldn’t say this”-then why say it? Plus your amazing ability to make that popping sound keeps folks attention to see what’s coming next. You should be a motivational/educational public speaker on this syndrome

Shes got such a positive attitude towards it its really good to see people pulling the good from the bad. What a champion

She was quite famous already within the gaming community, so now she's gonna blow up. Wish I could whistle like her.

As a person with a disability myself, I can empathize with you about the challenges faced when growing up, going to school and trying to live a normal life. It takes a lot of courage to face the world when you’re not the same as everyone else. But that just means you’re a lot more interesting and unique than most, and that’s never a bad thing.

Is it strange that I like her tics? I know it’s involuntary and that they almost feel an urge but for her to whistle that clearly so quickly is incredible.

Beautiful person. She can talk better than me.

She's a thing of beauty. Funny, intelligent and articulate. Pretty too. Bless her and good luck on her life path

You're beautiful Anita! I'm so sad tohear all that you went through! But you're here now! And you're wonderful! Stay proud and happy with yourself! You're the most beautiful woman I've ever gotten to know ❤ And I feel like they purposely put Anita in that room that looks daunting and uncomfortable just so she would be even more nervous and her tics would flare up more often just to have more of it on video but Anita is a champ! She got through it all so brilliantly! We love you Anita!

I could listen to her for ages, her vocabulary and soft/elegant voice is really something else.

Despite her condition, she has a very soft, clear and pleasant voice. She comes over as intelligent and well spoken and I can definitely imagine a voice like hers in narration like audiobooks, voice acting, that kinda stuff.

That whistle is so dang clear and precise. Impressive

Thank you for sharing your story and experience you seem like an amazing person and anyone deserves to understand what’s happening to them much younger than 27. Though it’s also good to hear that 27 is not too late for your life to start !

her whistle sounds exactly like the iPhone text tone.

Some woman i see in public: **winks at me** Me: "wow, i should ask her for her number!" Same woman: "a a a Fuck off" Me: "well okay then"

Oh I love this person. As a person on the Autism spectrum, with an invisible illness, I so relate to her. I totally get the whole, "people think you're being rude on purpose." She's awesome!

This lady is a gem. I could listen to her all day

I'm just jealous of her whistling ability, it's like a sound effect lol

Mom, " She's about to say her first word ... Toddler "Michael Schumacher!"

Oh my god, Thank you so much for speaking of this. I'm glad people will realize how hard this is for people who have Tourette's. I myself actually have it however I got it when I was 8 I'm almost 19 now and still have it. I have physical and verbal ticks usually being twitching and face Tourette's and and I'm so sorry for you. It's tough considering how many people don't fully understand it. And the overwatch story of push to talk is exactly what I did to cope with it, It's almost funny how much this hits home for me. Thank you so much for this @LADbible TV and Anita for sharing this. Let us both have best of luck in the future. And lastly I wish I could of seen this sooner in my feed UKposts. Thank you.

She's beautiful. Very smart and caring as well. Good for her. I hope she gets what she wants out of life.

The way she just rolls with her ticks as she's talking completely minimise them, she's utterly charming.

It’s like she’s getting internal text message notifications.

God bless you ! It’s ashame it took 27 yrs before you feel your life started but it has now and I wish you the very best !

That tic at 7:00 is just adorable. She's very interesting and well spoken.

This woman, despite what she’s going through, is incredibly well spoken. For someone who expressed such hardships in social situations when she was you g, this is phenomenal.

-"Is there anything you want to say that we haven't covered yet?" -"F off!" lol

Thank you for sharing your unique talent ups and downs with the world. I have learned a few things from your story. Thank you. Thank you LADbible TV for the interview.

What a compelling story. You are a gem. Thank you for sharing.
