SO IMPORTANT. Tourette is so misunderstood by so many people. Research is the only way to fix that.
Long overdue. The medical community needs to step up and stop ignoring this condition.
Finally some movement on this. Just get it done.
My son has dealt with Tourette's his whole life and it is high time the government actually focused some real funding on this. We need answers.
Its about time they paid attention to this. People think its just a joke from tv shows but its a real struggle for thousands of kids.
Great cause!
