Recensioner i media

I love the positive messages from this book, empowering people to feel that they are more than their tics. It sheds light on Tourette Syndrome itself in way that is very accessible to young people. It's great to have advice and tips for managing tics and other co-occurring conditions written by therapists and the young people and adults with Tourette Syndrome themselves.
