"In assembly, one of the teachers told me to stop flicking my shoe. When I looked at him, my eyes rolled up in a tic. He kept me in at break for being rude, I was too embarassed to tell him it was a tic"
"A fabulous relaxing weekend for both adults and children alike. Didn't have to explain to anyone about TS or tics...this was a new experience! What an amazing supportive TS community we have."
