- [Mother] Move the rest of the glasses now.

(popping and clicking)

(dishes clinking)

- (popping, squeaking, and grunting) Coy.

(fun, upbeat music)

- [Interviewer] If you had the choice

to get rid of your Tourettes, would you?

- (pops and clicks) No, I wouldn't.

Yes, I would, yes, yes, I would, yes.

No, I wouldn't because it makes me unique

and it makes me who I am.

Zach, I love you. (beeps)

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.

- [Interviewer] Can you drive with Tourettes?

- (pops, clicks, and squeaks) Yes, you can.

I have my permit and I can get my license,

but I don't because (hums and pats)

my tic and anxiety are too out of control

and we need to get them under control.

(stammers and squeaks)

- [Interviewer] Do you tic in your sleep?

- I don't think I do, I've been told I do,

but I've also been told that I don't.

- [Interviewer] Are you embarrassed by your tics?

- Yes, I am, I'm extremely embarrassed.

Coy. (squeaks)

And it is really hard to post on social media about it.

I never really used to tell anybody.

And now, a lot of people know, coy.

- [Interviewer] Have your ticks calmed down

since we're out of school?

- No, no, no!

Yes, yes, no, they haven't.

They have actually got in a lot worse

because of the anxiety about everything that's going on.

Why do you always say, "Coy?"

- Because a YouTuber that I watched, who has Tourettes,

has that as a tic and I picked it up,

probably like two years ago, coy.

So that's why.

- [Interviewer] Have you ever called 911 because of a tic?

- Yes, I have.

Liar, don't lie to yourself, chicken.

I have not, but there is this setting

on my phone where if you click the on and off button,

like six times fast, it calls 911, and that has happened.

- [Interviewer] When you're having a tic attack,

do you remember what you say or do?

- Sometimes, I do and sometimes, I don't.

Also, that's how it is (squeaks) with anxiety attacks.

I usually don't remember the anxiety attack,

but tic attacks, it depends.

Do I have a favorite tic?

Yes, all the ones about Zach.
