To make Tourettes Syndrome a respected disorder. Because it is a REAL disorder that deserves respect.

Created by J.B. on November 14, 2012

Tourette’s Syndrome affects approximately .5 to 3 people in 1000. Just as in stuttering, TS is more common in males than females (4:1). The mean age of onset is 6 years old with very few onsets beyond the age of 13. In up to 70 percent of children with TS the tics will significantly diminish or disappear by late adolescence. Many cases of Tourette's Syndrome deals with having, OCD, ADD, ADHD, DYSLEXIA, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY. Just to name a few. It is time to make a stand against the mass media to make Tourette's Syndrom a well respected disorder instead of a joke.
