What is Tourette syndrome? To many people who do not have it, it is not what they think. The only way to fully understand this baffling disorder is to be afflicted with it. Even then, there are no guarantees. The everyday feelings and urges to perform the tics that are symptoms of TS are unlike any that a person without TS could imagine. There are as many cases of TS as there are people who have it. No two cases are exactly alike.
The 31 stories in this book are true stories of actual TS sufferers and their families. Some of these stories were written by parents about their children. Others were written by adults about their own experiences living with TS. A few of them were even written by children.
The stories in this book are from people whose symptoms range from minor to debilitating, whose symptoms affect everything they do. This book was put together in order to raise awareness for TS. After reading these stories, you still will not totally understand TS, but we hope that you will gain a bit of better insight about a condition that is a mystery to most people.
