Thank you @lewiscapaldi for speaking out and helping to raise awareness of #TouretteSyndrome💚 'Lewis Capaldi shares he has Tourette’s syndrome and why he's gone public with diagnosis. Capaldi explains how his recent health diagnosis 'makes so much sense' https://t.co/fq0itbmfCj
Charities have slammed what they call "inaccurate, misleading and harmful information" broadcast in Channel 4 documentary Britain's Tourette's Mystery
https://t.co/bqF138CXP8
But a huge amount of people with TS are already cut off from their social circles because of misinterpretations of the condition. Now add the incorrect description of Tourette's as 'contagious'
... no prizes for guessing how thatll affect the TS community. @Channel4 - do better.
I am absolutely disappointed that @Channel4 allowed Tourette's to be described as 'contagious' in #BritainsTourettesMystery. I was diagnosed with #Tourettes at 12 and I am SO heartbroken that such detrimental and FALSE statements are being promoted after 10 years of progress. 1/
But that is now a reality. And while I am no longer that bewildered teenager, many Tourette's sufferers are. People with Tourette's can do extraordinary things, as can anyone with the right support networks. 4/
@Kukadoodles The BIG question is which team is he supporting?! (Btw I was in the audience for your performance at Life and Rhymes and it was honestly incredible, I was so inspired by you, as a writer and a woman! Hope you’re well x
Thank you @theviolinchannel for sharing this article on 'OPERA-TIC'. It is no longer available to view online, but watch this space for next steps - exciting plans ahead! https://t.co/O8xpaSOt1G
One more thing... on a personal note, thank you for your music - it has inspired, and will continue to inspire me, in so many ways. I was at your London show in October 2019 and I don’t think I’ve ever been happier!
Hello @mikasounds ! I am a student playwright and have been a BIG fan of yours for a long time! Due to the refugee crises that have been taking place, I am very, very eager to write and produce a play from which proceeds would go to refugee charities.
Had a very bad tic attack last night so at 1am I started making bread. 3 hours later, I’d produced a 4-plait loaf bread and 12 bagels. I know it’s said a lot, but kneading bread is SO therapeutic!! #tourettes#tourettesyndrome#tics#baking
