Well summarised Paul. On point #3 which you describe perfectly - who recalls the landmark 1988 QED documentary where Paul's TLC friend John was harangued at school, isolated, ridiculed, locked in cupboards and then placed in a remedial class despite his higher than average intelligence all because he had vocal tics? 4 decades later it would be nice to think the education system has evolved to accommodate the needs of these young people but one still wonders.
It is pretty common. I have a friend with TS. He told me of a camp for children with TS. It had a little backside. After a week a kid would have copied the ticks of multiple others. And it could be really annoying for them. Lucly the extra ticks stopped after a while.
Looks like you're doing a good job at the awareness, Paul. I learned lots right here.

You're doing it better than me then, only now do I know it's TS awareness month. But then again I have been learning about TS this entire spring.
You do a brilliant job raising awareness Paul! Hope you're well mate, and the family. Look forward to seeing more videos soon :)

Looks like you are doing a great job to me Paul. 👍

How do you fall asleep when ticking with Tourette’s or does it switch itself off when you lie in bed?
