People generally associate Tourette’s Syndrome with Tics, most often verbal tics/outbursts…but those aren’t necessarily the most common. Eye blinking, hand movements, neck movements…sometimes they are often subtle, and build up during periods of stress, fatigue, etc. It is also often a comorbidity with other forms of neurodivergence such as autism.
May this little buddy be with you in times of stress!
The tummy symbol features a combination of opposing elements to represent the stress of holding tics in. Lightning bolt motifs for neurological misfires and "stress tears" on the face.
Note: The facial expression is representative of the tics of the designer of this plush, and may not represent all forms of Tourette's.

IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding the design of our mental health-related Plushie Dreadfuls. We take the topics of mental health and mental health awareness seriously. That's why our design team only creates plushies related to mental health issues with which they have direct experience. In cases where our team does not have direct experience, we assemble an external team of experts to help guide our creative process. In addition, we use Crowd Design to engage a wide range of voices via platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We gather and respond to feedback from our audience - many of whom have direct experience with the mental health issues we're exploring. And while we strive to represent as many aspects of a particular mental health issue as possible while avoiding stereotypical symptoms, we hope you understand that plush toys as an artistic medium do limit the full expression of a particular issue to those things that can be crafted in fabric and stitching.
