EDITOR’S NOTE: This is TSParentsOnline’s 200th blog post since operations commenced on November, 7, 2011. Thank you to everyone who has helped get the blog this far!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi,\u00a0hope you are all well. The reason I decided to make this “Tourette Syndrome: The Facts” video<\/a><\/strong> was to counteract negative tweets on Twitter<\/a><\/strong> that stem from my struggle with TS when out in public. I find that with the use of the Internet, I can still raise awareness of Tourette, so when I see\u00a0misinformed tweets about TS, I try to post the video with the hash tag Tourette.<\/p>\n

All the photos are taken by me and are made up of photos of our children, as well local sights. The video and music is put\u00a0together\u00a0with the help of my\u00a0friend\u00a0Cliff (@cliffsull on Twitter). He doesn’t have TS but is a great guy and helps raise awareness.<\/p>\n

I have a new project going at the moment, and it is getting this video TS translated into different languages. The first language is\u00a0Chinese, as I always think how difficult life must be living with TS in different\u00a0countries. And in a country with a population of almost 2 billion people, I’m sure there must be a lot of folks struggling to find acceptance or understanding of our condition.<\/p>\n

So watch this space, watch the video and look for a link to a recent documentary we made about living with late onset of tics, which includes John Davidson, Chopper, my family and lil’ old me. :) Many thanks!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
