There’s a huge amount of awful stuff being shared this #TouretteSyndrome Awareness Month. Language and nuance matter, and charities are missing the mark. Don’t take everything you see this #TSAwarenessMonth at face value. Here’s a thread for you based on a Tourettes Action infographic… (1/6)
Infographic from Tourettes Action. The top half shows a pie chart titled “What people think Tourettes is,” divided equally between “Swearing” and “Ticcing.” The bottom half shows a more complex pie chart titled “What Tourettes actually is,” with multiple segments representing aspects like physical tics, motor tics, pain and injury, executive dysfunction, suppression, fatigue, sensory needs, difficulty sleeping, co-morbidities (ADHD/OCD), and creativity.
