Tourette Problems

Rule #1 in having Tourette Syndrome: do not use a knife when ticcing. Trust me.

Today marks the start of #TourettesAwarenessMonth This years campaign #TourettesHurts aims to shine a light on the true realities of living with the condition, hoping we can bring a new found understanding Watch our very powerful video here m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y8KOC… Pls Share

My sister @LauraBeljaars & I were invited to discuss Tourette's as strenghening our bond and our shared idea for future Tourette's research. Loved it! Elsa was such a thoughtful interviewer and generous writer. Have a read! @HSRSwansea @tourettesaction @TTAGpatients #Tourette

Does the way Tourette’s syndrome is studied and understood need to change? A Tourettic patient advocate discusses current challenges and opportunities with an academic researching the condition – and how they navigate being sisters. #SparksOfChange elifesciences.org/interviews/fd5…

Amazing (*AWARD WINNING*) presentation at the @ESSTS_Tourette by @DianaBeljaars, sharing our panel findings from @NNMHRmed congress. We argue that person-centred approaches are key in #TouretteSyndrome, amongst many other points! @ticsntatts @twitchyspoonie @cconelea @JoBervoets

@TicsnTatts ❤️❤️

(Bi?)weekly reminder to follow @TicsnTatts! She has fresh new energy to tweet about tics and Tourette’s related stuff, while I have a lot of other stuff in my life rn, one of which is not opening the Twitter app 😅

I know I’m not on Twitter a lot anymore, but please follow @TicsnTatts! If you liked my content, you’ll love hers 🥰

20' presentation summarizing my doctoral dissertation on Tourette's and autism. It explains why knotty brains are not to be (stigmatically) mistaken for nutty brains - on pains of pushing us in the very mental health issues you want to avoid. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=wE9Gjg…

The one-page summary of my doctoral thesis. Please share (yes, just hit the RT-button ;-). Because it's time to get Tourette's out of the stereotype closet & consider it in a nuanced, person-centered way. (many thanks to @LauraBeljaars for suggestions) neuroepigenethics.com/?page_id=677

De één-pagina samenvatting van mijn doctoraatsthesis. Gelieve te delen (ja hoor, duw maar op die RT knop ;-). Want Tourette moet nu eindelijk eens uit de stereotypen kast gehaald worden. (dank aan @LauraBeljaars voor nazicht & suggesties) blog.uantwerpen.be/bladspiegel/mo…

Facts! Thank God I don’t have to pay for these appointments myself 🙌

New phenomenon: people talking on social media about how they experience Tourette's differently than what the textbooks say. Experience trumps textbooks. We: @cconelea, me, @DPhilipJones, @dakoraa, @DianaBeljaars, @beffdizzle, @MelinaMalli, Benjamin Nash & Matthew R. Capriotti.

Must read!

Today I discovered that #NewZealand's Ministry for Health doesn't consider #TouretteSyndrome a #disability and therefore this means no protected rights, no funding for services, etc... Any #NZ-based followers, please consider signing! parliament.nz/en/pb/petition…
