I have a mental disorder that causes me to talk to myself in public. Some people yell at me that I'm a tweeker. Isn't that messed up? I don't do drugs. I'm latter day saint.

If people just yell and go on, ignore them. They are rude and not worth your attention- dont dignify them. But, at any opportunity you have, it would be great if you would explain to people that you a disorder, because educating others might make people tolerant to others in your situation.

Im belong to the Church of Latter Day saints also.
My dad passes out when he gets a big wiff of perfume or candles, any thing sented. It stops his heart and has caused some brain damage. Some of the damage causes him to continually nodd his head and people act so funny about that. Its not really a big deal and nothing that he can help. I cant believe the dumb things people do and say about it.
You really cant take what people do or say to offence because they dont know any better. They should but they really dont and it will just make you feel horrable if you do. Just brush it off.

Some folks, just speak without having the full facts of what they are talking about.... Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about them, except to know, you are not what they seem to think, and keep your head held high.
(if you are speaking about tourette's syndrome, there was something in the medical news some time ago, about a device, which when worn, controls the outbursts. http://www.wptz.com/health/14739378/detail.html )

Get a medical ID bracelet, and show it to these insensitive idiots.
People are UNBELIEVABLY rude sometimes.
My apologies to you, on their behalf.
