Does anyone here have Tourettes Syndrome? How do you cope and have you found something that really helps that you can share with others here?

In your opinion, what helps best. Please serious answers only. I do not have that but I know some who do and thought maybe some of you here that have it, could help.

I haven't met anyone in-person that has Tourette's Syndrome, but I do remember back when I was in Third Grade, my class had attended a lecture about it in the school library.

There was even a video of some news footage presented during that same lecture that we (my classmates and I) saw about a doctor afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome who mentioned that his tics dissappear when he's working, but they reappear when he's not working.

@Sidewinder That is really odd. I'm sure it's a nightmare to live with.

@LadyGrace I don't doubt that, but just because something is odd, doesn't always make it untrue.

@Sidewinder oh heavens no. I believe what you wrote. Why wouldn't I? I'm just saying his condition is odd that it doesn't bother him while he's teaching but only after. That's all I meant.
