Description
Author Chris Mason has Tourette Syndrome. He decided to inform the world
about what it's really like living day to day with Tourettes. After
sitting down and writing his story out, he then had another thought, one
that would lead him to the world of publishing: What if I can have
other people that have Tourettes share their stories with me? From this
simple dream came a collection of over twenty heartfelt and inspiring
tales about normal everyday people who have Tourettes and what it's like
to walk in their shoes. Touretties, which takes its name from an
expression used to describe people with Tourettes, is powerful, moving,
and informative. Chris Mason has struggled long and hard to come into a
place where he could even write what he knows to be his life, and with
every word written, you can tell his sincerity rings true on every
level. In fact, every single story represented in these pages is rich
with a genuine voice waiting to be heard. If you think you know what
Tourettes is, you don't. Not unless you live with it or with somebody
who has it. Now, thanks to Chris and his bold vision, you can have a
firsthand account of understanding in a deeply personal way how it
feels. 192 pages, rated for teens to adults, class biographical,
anthology, research document for Tourette Syndrome
