The Tourettes Action Blog
The Tourettes Action blog gives people with Tourette Syndrome (TS) a space to talk about how the condition affects them. We hope that by explaining what life is really like to have or to live with someone who has TS, we can fight the stigma about the condition.
If you would like to write about your experiences of TS, we would love to hear from you. Please email us to find out more and discuss what you might like to write about.
