My brother has Tourette's syndrome, he's 12 and is having lots of problems. He's been depressed for a while because he's different from everyone else. He told me this video made him feel a lot better about himself.

Aside from all the Caspar fan girling etc I think it's really important to recognise and truly appreciate what this guy has done here. Often a small range of mental health issues are discussed on YouTube, usually around depression or anxiety but many neurological disorders are overlooked and are still taboo so, for someone like Caspar who's built his audience on a more comedic basis to speak out about such a hugely important topic is truly wonderful

I love it when Youtubers take a break from their usual content to talk about something that means a lot to them and that promotes positivity. I'm proud of you Caspar for having the courage to post this and I really admire you for it.

I have ADHD and when people try and talk to me it makes it look like I'm not listening but I find it really hard to listen and concentrate so this made me feel like I'm not alone thank you Casper

[kesewaabrowne]

Whoever drew/animated this is actually a genius. So proud of Caspar for talking about this and bringing it to our attention, takes a lot of guts

[BrookeMakenna]

Honestly shocked that this wasn't a funny skit of some sort but I love that Caspar is bringing awareness to this💓

[dejahatchett]

Wow. I never noticed any tics on his videos. Great that He's bringing awareness to this disorder!

[gerardmaxwell]

I cant stop smiling. Caspar you inspire me to never give up my passion which is YouTube and I know I'm not the only one! :)

I didn't even notice and I don't think anything different of u then when I didn't know

[zofiafrazier]

I have Autism. Sometimes I just feel as if I'm a huge mistake.

Just remeber
Your dream doesn't have an expiration date
God created Autism, Tourette's, Down Syndrom etc to decrease the excessive number of boring people on the earth.

I have Misophonia which is a little bit like tourettes. I twitch and shout whenever I hear a noise I'm "allergic" to. I have to sit out of class and take exams in a separate room because I'll disturb the other students and I won't be able to concentrate myself..it's nice to see a positive video about mental disorders....Thank you Caspar 😊

[itsivana]

Thank you for sharing your story. It's easy to judge people without knowing their story, it's easy to judge someone's act without seeing bigger picture. You for spreading the word about tourette and opening about something vulnerable is big thing, so thank you :)

at 1:57 the cars plate number says Jaspar. Aww

[sploosh]

I didn't even know about this and I hadn't noticed until I watched this video and even after watching this I am still going to think of u in the same way or possibly as a stronger person. Good on you Casper and keep going strong!

[RhiyaGarg]

I like how you're creating awareness about this. Being a psychology student I didn't know much about this. It's important for people to understand that these issues exist and making fun of people and being oblivious to them is not right. It's great to see that someone with such a platform is using their voice to create awareness. Thank you. I genuinely mean it.

Guys let's just appreciate the fact that Caspar made this video for us. It must have been really hard for him to do this, and It's lovely that he can put things like this up for us.❤️ we all love you sooo much Caspar ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[anntash]

lets appreciate that the van on 2:03 says jaspar

[bradmace]

Wow this a big surprise,  I relate to the school part as I have tourettes, I swear, whistle, grunt a little, crack my knuckles, twitch my head and I get sent put of classes for whistling! But I have the support of my family and friends which makes me happy ;), I hope I grow out of it.

[katiek]

This is amazing, thanks for sharing your story it can help so many people. It's sad to see the comment section filled with non related bullshit so I hope you see this

[manonamartin]

Actually chocked to know that, and also kind of happy that you've shared this with us because you shouldn't be ashamed to be who you are. You've done a lot of amazing stuff in your life, and you should feel proud that you've done all of those things with Tourette's syndrome
