The Tourettes Survival Kit

I love the positive messages from this book, empowering people to feel that they are more than their tics. It sheds light on Tourette Syndrome itself in way that is very accessible to young people. It's great to have advice and tips for managing tics and other co-occurring conditions written by therapists and the young people and adults with Tourette Syndrome themselves. -- Dr Seonaid Anderson, research manager Tourettes Action
Wow! This is a cool, hands-on guide on how to deal with day-to-day situations people with tics dread. And we, health professionals, often dread being asked what to do! But fear not: The Tourette Survival Kit has all the answers, in a clear, no-nonsense and humorous way. A highly recommended, and very enjoyable read. -- Dr Andreas Hartman, Chair of the European society for the study of Tourette syndrome
This book provides a comprehensive account of the daily challenges faced by people who have Tourette's syndrome. The authors are mostly people who have tics themselves and, because of their lived experience, give real and expert advice. It's snappy, easy-to-digest style and question-and-answer format means readers can dip in and out to access their specific question. -- Professor Eileen Joyce, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology
