To be clear, I didn't say the two conditions are related to one another in any way. It's just an exercise of thinking across to draw parallels. I experience no tics. We experience non-selective suppression of global motor output when we block on a word and all motor activity becomes suspended for a bit. Frozen. So we are talking about the block. Not the letter or word we block on. It has to do with the body. It doesn't apply to expectations or the language we have problem with. "Selective suppression involves inhibiting specific motor commands while allowing others to proceed. This mechanism allows for precise control over movements, enabling the execution of desired actions while preventing others that might interfere or be inappropriate. Non-selective suppression, on the other hand, involves a more generalized inhibition of motor output." So it isn't true. I'll try working on a framework these next few days with detailed explanation and execution. I feel too much is lost in translation as I explain it or offer tips now.
