S7 - Episode 3 - Three Days Ago (with Jhonelle)
Manage episode 293731571 series 2077591
What better way to celebrate Tourette Awareness Month (May 15-June 15) than to open up about having the disorder? For the first time, ever, we mean (to whom it applies).
Just a few days before this episode's conversation took place, our guest, 26-year-old Jhonelle, spoke up for the first time publicly about her life with Tourette Syndrome. To classmates, everyone.
Which came with self-questioning. Would people treat her differently? Would they doubt her? Take her seriously?
Plus: A parent of a 13-year-old with TS is doubting her ability to help. And a few science facts that Touretters should know.
