This was suggested to me by another user in the current big thread about this. I haven't finished watching it yet. It's from Poddy Mouth, a black creator. Apparently the video has perspectives from black people with Tourette's included. Might be valuable in this moment.
This is a (very short, < 5 minutes) video from a black elected official with Tourette's. He takes the position that an acknowledgement or apology is necessary. I think this was before the subsequent statement mentioned in the video linked in the post title was made (the following day), so I don't know if that statement would meet the standard this person had in mind for addressing the harm caused.
As I said in my other comments, I don't have the energy right now to really engage with this discussion further, and I don't want to accidentally cause harm by doing so. I just thought this video also belonged in this thread. Also as I said, if you have other such videos please do post them in this thread or in their own post.
Edit: this video, similar to the one linked in the post title, I got from a comment by another user in the previous thread.
I have been asked by another user to include the following info in the post body, which might be relevant to the discussion.
i think you should link this article directly from the guy with tourettes in the post: https://archive.is/GS647
this bit in particular would be helpful i think
Since the fallout, Davidson’s team shares that he’s reached out to the studio handling “Sinners” in order to directly apologize to Jordan, Lindo and production designer Hannah Beachler.
It has been pointed out that the discussions that happened on this post can be hard to follow for people who did not see prior posts discussing this subject. I think I wanted to avoid encouraging directly transferring the arguments from prior posts, but that was probably ridiculous to think. I have added them below.

if you've ever spent much time around people who have powerchairs you might know that they not infrequently run into other people and things. especially with the decreased dexterity associated with many conditions that warrant a powerchair, control of said chairs can be suboptimal. (usually paraplegics have manual chairs; only people with affect in 3 or 4 limbs get the power. and some are controlling with eyes or mouth which isn't first choice for good reasons.) do those people apologize when they bash into you, run over your toe, or put a dent in the wall? OF COURSE. unless they are total assholes. (actually a friend of mine liked to make a bit of a game out of gently bumping strangers in public to see if they would apologize to him even though he was obviously at fault, that was to poke fun at people who patronized him for being in a chair and make a point about his own agency... and he was being a bit of an asshole tbf. But he would apologize for any actual mistake and especially if any harm came would feel bad like any normal person.)
eta: at the risk of overstating a point, i would like to really underline a difference between my comment and the one above it:
I find the 1st to be dehumanizing of all involved and mentioned.
