Tourette Syndrome Awareness
Malaysia
    Tourette's is not a problem. It is part
    of life. This page is for school
    children with TS and their friends
    who accept them or are learning to
    accept them for what they are.
    Sharing of stories can help towards
    creating greater awareness about TS.
    We would love to hear your story.
Light of my life

    I am 17 years old, and have had Tourette's since I was
    2 years old.

    This is my story.

    It all started when I was two years old. My adoptive
    mother (who wasn't my adoptive mother yet) noticed
    that I always twitched and moved and stuff.
    She paid no mind.
    It wasn't until I got a new therapist at the age of ten that
    my mom said to her, "If I didn't know any better, I'd
    think Sabrina had Tourette's Syndrome."
    Turns out I did.
    In all honesty, I have the Tourette Spectrum, which has
    made my life
    all the harder. I've learned that living with TS really isn't
    that hard, though.
    I get to teach people about it, and I get to spread the
    word that people with TS are just like everybody else.
    Living with TS has made me thankful for my life.
    I wouldn't choose to be any other way.

    Everyone is special in their own way, and having TS is
    like a gift from God. Having a friend which has TS,
    makes me learn how to tolerate with other people.
    They are just as talented, friendly and
    dedicated. People out there should be aware that
    those with TS, are no
    different than others. =)

    I have a friend who has ts. and she's one of the coolest
    people i know. don't judge others based on their
    abilities or disabilities.
    It's what's inside that counts right?

    Lee Ching deserves everything she has now or more
    because she is just the same wit everyone around us.
    I am not embarrassed to have a friend with TS.
    Instead, I feel proud and happy being her friend. The
    good thing about her is she is always  confident and
    does not look down on herself even though she has
    TS. God gave her this syndrome but he also gave her a
    lot of other better stuff such as friends who always
    support her  and also her parents who loves her a lot.
    She is also a very talented dancer too. Last but not
    least she is smart. She helps me a lot in my studies.
    This proves that TS people can  be just as smart as
    normal people. So, we should not judge a book by its
    cover.
    Always look forward and don't look back, Ching. Do the
    things you wanna do and don't let your syndrome stop
    you.

    For those who are having Tourette Syndrome, we
    should treat them on the same stage with others.
    They are gift from GOD, appreciate them.

    I too have a friend who suffers the same thing. at first i
    found it quite uncomfortable and sometimes can be
    annoying. but come to think of it, she didn't wish to
    have it .
    Shes just a victim. and all
    she needs is support and care. Try putting  yourself in
    her/his shoes before judging.

    Having TS doesnt mean you're abnormal from the
    others. It is simply a gift from god. And that makes
    them such special person.

    Best Friend' written by JayDee dedicated to her pal,
    Miss Ho. I must say this syndrome  sounds a little bit
    like 'latah' but of a more intensed nature.
    I sympatise with those who suffers from this syndrome
    for it is not their asking, but I am extremely glad to read
    from all the messages
    posted that there are friends who readily accept them
    as they are.
    In this day and age we all can learn from this type of
    giving. And they start them young too!
    To sit in a cinema watching a movie with your TS
    friend and when there's a tic you are oblivious to the
    looks of the people in the front row!
    For those who have this syndrome, do not give up,
    as you can see there are friends out there who think
    otherwise.
    For friends with the likes of JayDee, you have a gift of
    kindness.
    Obviously your parents have thought you well!

    Keep up the good work Lee Ching, it is indeed a very
    useful website for those with TS. You may want to
    consider maybe once in a
    month to have a TS get-to- gether support group so as
    to share your experiences and usderstand TS better.  
    You are fortunate that you lead a very
    active and meaningful life and have lots of friends.
    Some may not be so
    fortunate as they may prefer to lock themselves and
    shy away from what
    could be a very normal life, so the support group get-to-
    gethers will
    be useful for people like these. I love your poem...very
    well done.
    Good work girl.

    I have a friend who is suffering from TS.
    But i think we should treat him as a normal person.
    He says people in school do not want to make friends
    with him. However, i don't think i should pity him
    because i think people should learn to understand
    him instead of pitying him.

    I am willing to make friends to all whom suffer from
    TS.
