Tourette's

As someone that lives with Tourette's, I feel it is important to share the daily experience of this disability. Too often Tourette's is simply the punchline of a joke or a humorous excuse. In reality, it is a painful, frustrating, and isolating battle to live with. Tics can cause severe injury to the body and social stigmas can lead to mental health challenges. In this work, I have sought to bring to the light the personal experiences of suffering with disabilities and mental illness, aspects that many people are unaware of, thus limiting their ability to understand and empathize.
