This video of an Uber driver with Tourettes Syndrome in the US was made famous because her passenger couldn't pronounce the condition and became known as TREX and shows several dimensions of this condition.
I first met someone with Tourettes in Scunthorpe while volunteering for my church. The lady attended the same church and her husband was a church Elder. During dinner, she suddenly screamed and came out with several F-words. It was not something I would have expected nor ever imagined could happen. But it did. My young, sanctimonious and self righteous self was initially shocked at what just happened.
That 21y/o boy from East London had never come across this before. I was educated well that evening by the lady and learned an important lesson. I learned the importance of being a bit less quick to judge and condemn. That there are people among us who go through things they have no control over, and but for the grace of God go I.
Fast forward to today, and I am reminded how tolerance in society still has a very long way to go - especially for those we don't understand. It knows no race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality etc. Just saying 😔
(Excuse the very strong language in this video. It is not shared as a great example of safe driving either)
