Tick..Tock ..Tick..Tock..Tourette-Tic-Tic! Time to celebrate National Tourettes Awareness Day April 29th! Do you or anyone you know have experience with Tourettes, Autism and other spectrum disorders? I invite you to share it here as well as on my site: www.stephendijoseph.com. It could end up in the movie I'm producing "A Synaptic Adventure: Tourettes and Beyond"!
Check out these UK folks I've been in touch with: Jessica Thom is TourettesHero.com. This month she and her team of "heroes" were interviewed on BBC radio and had a flood of 18,000 people on her site!
Chris De Burgh is Touretteskaraoke.com.I discovered Chris in a karaoke video (one of his many) where he's sings classic hits with his tourette-interjected "blurts". He has 500,000 views on youtube.
There's more than the clock ticing here. TICING as in TWITCHING as in ..well…constant movement. Isn't that what life is? Constant movement? And that ticing, that persistent, driving force has created an explosion of awareness. There is a surge in expression artisTICly, arTICulately, educationally, creatively and supportively. An increase in understanding of the unique, creative and challenging nature of Tourettes, Autism and other spectrum disorders.
