Welcome to TSParentsOnline, a blog\u00a0for<\/strong><\/em> parents of children with Tourette Syndrome by<\/strong><\/em> parents of children with Tourette Syndrome, brought to you by the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome & Associated Disorders (NJCTS).<\/p>\n

NJCTS\u00a0is\u00a0in the business of providing\u00a0new and innovative resources for parents of children with TS, a neurological disease that affects as many as 1 in 100 kids — most of them undiagnosed, misdiagnosed and misunderstood.<\/p>\n

To help further achieve\u00a0those goals,\u00a0NJCTS — which provides answers for these kids and their families through referrals to programs and services, education and training so that families, peers and professionals will be better qualified to help those with TS —\u00a0launched TSParentsOnline,\u00a0\u00a0a place for parents of kids with TS to share ideas, opinions, stories and expertise, as well as connect on ways to support each other.<\/p>\n

The blog, which went live on the Internet on Nov. 7, 2011,\u00a0initially featured parent bloggers from New Jersey, but\u00a0since has\u00a0opened to anyone worldwide — either for participation or simply reading.<\/p>\n
