Marvel Fan With Tourette Syndrome Kicked Out of Avengers: Endgame Screening

You'd think that people would be much more open-minded these days, with movements like #metoo and Black Lives Matter opening the eyes of many who were ignorant or were not aware of these problems. However, that isn't the case as a young girl with Tourette Syndrome was kicked out of a movie theater showing Avengers: Endgame, along with her parents.

What's worse? The fact that this young woman just wanted to release some tics before the film started. On Facebook, the young girl stated that she did know how to control her sickness, even though it hurts her. The fact that she was willing to suppress this for three hours is really admirable and knowing that she wasn't given a chance to do so is just sad.

"I understand, I just, I understand that during a movie people don't want to hear me tic like that, but I wish you would've given me a chance before coming and asking me to leave the theater automatically get more embarrassed and I feel so judged whenever people are like 'okay, we want you gone.' The movie hadn't even started yet. They're advertising underwear on the screen. It hurts, and so they want me gone, so okay, I don't feel comfortable anymore being in a theater where everyone's there like 'why is she here, and my Tourettes automatically gets worse whenever it's brought to my attention and whenever I'm in an uncomfortable situation, so I'd appreciate it if in the future somebody could talk to my parents or talk to me before going to a manager or if the manager could've waited until the movie had started. I wasn't going to tic during the movie. I can suppress these things. I wasn't even given the chance to watch a movie. I didn't get one second in before they asked me to go, and I've been waiting for this movie."

Knowing that the people in this theater didn't have her back was just sad. The fact that the people in charge actually kicked her out is just sad. Come on guys, she was willing to see this movie in pain, would it have killed anyone to stay through some tics during the previews?

Avengers: Endgame is now showing in theaters. Hopefully, this young woman gets the chance to see it again, this time with more sensitive people.
