The Purpose of teensWts.
this is the official myspace for "teensWts"
What's all this about?
My name is Tourette Syndrome. I'm a nuerological disorder characterized by tics -- involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way. I am named after Georges Albert Eduardo Brutus Gilles de la Tourette, who died back in 1904, you can read about him here.
In the media, I am portrayed as 'a cursing disease'. Honestly, not everyone with Tourettes has the vocal tics with profanity, it is called coprolalia and only about 20% of Tourette patients have it. You can read about that, here .
I hope this page educates the uneducated, and gives hope for the patients of Tourette Syndrome. By hope, I am acknowledging the Tourette Syndrome Association. Donations are being accepted! You can see how you can donate, here .
About 60% of the people with Tourette have OCD and ADHD. .
(Thank you google.)
Please do not (in your comments, messages, etc. associated with teensWts) use profanity, adult content, or anything else along those lines. thanks. the official myspace for "teensWts"

Books:


Quit it is a really good book about a preteen with Tourette. I read it about 6 months after i was diagnose, i was 11, and loved it. It doesn't matter how old you are though. I think this book can be inspiring to anyone. --jamie-grace.

Heroes:

"Everything is extraordinary in this disease (Tourette Syndrome): the name is ridiculous, its symptoms peculiar, its character equivocal, its cause unknown, its treatment problematical." - Gilles de la Tourette (1875 -1904)

"Having Tourettes is kind of like a riddle. Tourette Syndrome can be tough to understand and solve, however like a riddle, Tourette Syndrome can be quite easy to accept once you understand it." - Paul Marshall
