"When my son was diagnosed with severe TS, the consultant told me that I had TS too - finally I could make sense of situations from my childhood and teenage years"
"This has given me a deeper understanding of what children with TS are dealing with and has given me confidence to approach school/ groups/ clubs etc to give best quality of life."
