It never ceases to amaze me the way so many people casually use Tourette Syndrome as a descriptor, punchline, or joke. They would never use other chronic disabilities in that way. We must band together and demand the respect we deserve. Visit https://t.co/bMBjlTf6Zf to join us.
In the past few weeks, there have been multiple statements utilizing Tourette Syndrome as a reference to someone not having a filter or cussing. In addition to being hurtful and highly offensive to those living with TS or Tic Disorders, these statements perpetuate stigma. (1/6)

As a child I with endlessly bullying because of 2 truths: Tourette Syndrome & homosexuality. I wasn’t sure I could live my dreams and be honest about who I was. Turns out, I could & have, & you can too despite any of your challenges that make you, YOU.
