i have a friend with this syndrome who was my classmate in the year 2004. I knew that she had tourette syndrome but i have to admit that i was not use to the shoutings... SORRY!! =( But trust me you will get use to it.. =)... and she turn out to be a really nice person and a really fun person to be with... So all i am saying is that do not judge a person just because she might have a syndrome because you will never know what a great and wonderful person she might be. SO GET TO KNOW THEM FIRST BEFORE JUDGING THEM!!! =)

I'm not exactly a close friend of this girl who has tourette syndrome but she's really NICE. Like they say , never judge a book by its cover . I believe having tourette syndrome , might actually be a gift .

Having TS does not prevent you from becoming successful.

To be honest, i didn't really know that one of my friend, an old friend from primary school plus a fellow interactor has this syndrome. At first, it gave me quite a shock as i wasn't use to it, but after a while, i've gottten use to it and i didn't find it disturbing anymore !! =D so ppl wif TS aint dat bad till u really noe them !! =)

I have a friend who's had TS since primary school and guess what?She's just the same as all of us. So what if she makes sounds? It doesn't make her any less normal. In fact,everyone has gotten so used to her that it feels a little weird whenever she's not around.lol. Anyways,just wanted to say that if someone u know has TS,we should give them support instead of shunting them away.
I've a friend with TS. She's one of the most supportive, most thoughtful, most talented person I've met. Despite the tics, she's just like you and me. In fact, TS makes them very unique in many ways. We here believe that and you should believe that too.
