The History of Tourette Syndrome (with SHOCKING facts)
31Hi everyone! Today's video is SUPER EDUCATIONAL and is all about the COMPLETE AMERICAN HISTORY OF TOURETTE SYNDROME. I worked really hard to gather all of this information, and although it may seem like a boring video, it's SUPER IMPORTANT and has GREAT INFORMATION in it regarding Tourette syndrome as a disorder in 19-20th century America.
As a girl with Tourette's, I would love to spread awareness and education about my disorder, as I feel it is quite misunderstood in today's society. The media has made it out to be a swearing disorder only, which is far from true. I hope this video will educate you on Tourette Syndrome and tic disorders! Life with Tourettes can be difficult, but just know that we're the same as everyone else...except for the fact we tic like clocks! (:
Thanks for watching!
