DeafTourette
Perpetually Offended
As you can tell by my username, I have Tourette Syndrome. I was diagnosed in my teens and I'm in my mid 40s now.
Having Tourette has changed me in substantial ways. I learned to be more empathetic. I learned to be more humble. I'm not the smartest person but I accepted that I'm unique in my own way. Poetry helped me out A LOT!
That said... Is there anything you have always wondered about Tourette Syndrome? I'm willing to share whatever info I can personally impart having lived with it for over 25 years.
This is the documentary my friend made ... I am in it as well. For less than 1 a minute (LOL!) but I am at least speaking about my my experience. You can't miss me, I'm the only black guy in it actually speaking:
