I watched a Ted Talk about a guy named Thomas White who has Tourette's Syndrome. I highly recommend anyone to watch this video as he explains what he has gone through with Tourette's, and how he is still dealing with it. He explains that Tourette's Syndrome is due to multiple motor and vocal tics that can include repetition and involuntary cursing. He in fact has to deal with both. Although throughout the video you can tell he is struggling with the Tourette's, he manages to make light of the condition and his obvious tics, and make the audience feel enlightened and educated about his neurological condition without bringing negative connotations to it as the world can be cruel and do that very thing. I really like the fact that Thomas does not let it hold him back, or let it control his every day life. He is independent, he went through school, the only thing different is that occasionally he told it like it was (unconsciously). Although, he said that the tics and outburst of comments or words are not exactly what he is thinking and often apologizes. He does not let this control him and his life/lifestyle, and I admire that because most people think Tourette's syndrome is very strange, and hard to be around without laughing or getting offended. This is where becoming educated with the neurological condition and having compassion for those who suffer from it come to play. I especially enjoyed the way he ended his speech with how the Tourette's does not define who he is and that instead of the condition speaking for him, he speaks his own words.
