Getting your Head Around Tourette's

Discover a new way to understand Tourette syndrome with this engaging and reassuring comic book resource, created especially for children and the adults who support them.

Designed to make complex ideas simple and approachable, the comic gently explains what Tourette syndrome (TS) is, why tics happen, and how they can affect everyday life. Whether a child has recently been diagnosed or is simply curious to learn more, this resource offers clear, friendly guidance that helps build confidence, understanding and self-acceptance.

Beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written, the comic encourages children to see TS as just one part of who they are. It celebrates individuality, highlights strengths such as creativity and focus, and reassures young readers that they are not alone. Alongside practical insights, it also helps parents and carers better understand their child’s experience, opening up conversations and supporting more relaxed, accepting environments at home, school and beyond.
