Campaign: | To show people what it is like to live with Tourette's syndrome |
I have Tourette’s syndrome which causes me to tic. This means I make sounds and movements that others might consider strange.
Trying to suppress these tics is incredibly difficult. It requires a lot of concentration and can be physically exhausting.
It feels as if there’s a pressure building up inside my body, until I can’t keep it in any more.
I don’t think others really understand this.
With Fixers, I want to show people what it’s like to physically struggle against a disorder that can be socially awkward.
Hopefully this will help them to empathise with – and not fear – those who have it.
