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.

14 Year old Tayla-Leigh opens up about her struggles with TS and just how much TeenFest 2018 meant to her.
Since I was little I have been in and out of hospital having tests to try and diagnose what was wrong with me. I was diagnosed with TS on the 13th of June 2017 after having tics for 2 years. No one around me could understand I couldn't help the tics and I kept getting told to stop messing about.
