Can I still have Tourette's if I haven't ticced much in months?

Can I still have Tourette's if I haven't ticced much in months? My parents think I'm faking because I can suppress them, and the fact that it's been a while since I've really ticced makes me think I'm faking too.

Absolutely! For some people, their tics have specific triggers, and being able to suppress your tics is completely normal. I can suppress my tics, it's just easier to give in to the urges.

I believe so! Mine only really come out when I’m really cold, super stressed, overstimulated, thinking about it, when I see others tic, loud noises (sometimes) and Ect.

Yes, tourettes can have highs and lows. It can flare up due to all kinds of things. Like for me it only really happens when I'm super tired, stressed, or thinking about it.
