Dr. Daniel P. Jones @danielpjones.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I argue that we need a shift in how these technologies are framed when talking about Tourette Syndrome, drawing on Ashley Shew’s concept of technoableism. From soundproof masks, to muting tourettic people on Zoom, to algorithmic filtering of coprolalia, technoableism operates in distinct ways. 110
