Driving with Tourette syndrome can sometimes add another layer of stress, especially with how they might affect your focus. When you’re concentrating intensely, the urge to tic can sometimes build up.
One tic I’ve personally experienced while driving is the urge to close my eyes. Even if the urge is strong, I’m usually able to suppress it when I’m on the road because I know how important it is to keep my eyes open and stay aware of my surroundings. But it’s naturally very uncomfortable and anxiety inducing… but what can you do?
More recently, I’ve noticed that shoulder shrugging tics have become more intense while driving. Unlike the eye-tics, these tics don’t interfere with my ability to see the road, but they can still feel distracting and uncomfortable. It seems the posture in the car seat triggers it.
