I too have Tourette’s, and I know that fear and anxiety all too well. Please, if you encounter something like this, the best thing that you can do is just act like it’s not happening. Don’t make the person feel like they are not normal. If you don’t react, they can at least pretend that you don’t notice, which can help them calm down and reduce their tics. At the very least, Don’t claim that your movie experience has been ruined before the movie even begins. Just be kind.

I feel bad for because I was born with a disability too and people look at me as if I am not human
Demaris Hill
Shame on them! She should have been allowed to try to control her kicks before asking her to leave. Who cares about the previews!
