Tourette Syndrome: "So f*cking funny you'll cry!"

Claire Kinsella and her family, are proud to present this video of Mason, filmed largely by his sister Meredith.

The video has already gone viral and Claire has been really pleased with the awareness that it has raised.

The video starts with a well known comedian implying that Tourette's can be turned off. **Tourettes Action have written to the comedian's agent.**

Those comments spurred Meredith on to make a video to show the difficulties that individuals, in her case Mason, her brother can experience on a day to day basis, using the theme throughout of "Tourettes: Do you still find it funny?"

Set against moving music, the video is extremely positive as it focusses not only on the difficulties that Mason encounters daily, but the wonderful things he has achieved out of his life, regardless of his TS.

"People need to know that TS is involuntary. We don't need pity, but some will always need help, support and understanding"
