Tics are common in childhood, but recognizing when they are part of typical development, and when they may indicate Tourette syndrome or another tic disorder, can be challenging for pediatricians. A child repeatedly blinks during a well visit. A parent mentions a new throat-clearing sound that has been happening for weeks. Soon comes the question pediatricians hear often: "Should I be worried?"  In this episode, we take a closer look at tics and Tourette syndrome, helping pediatricians distinguish common childhood tics from situations that may warrant further evaluation. We'll explore the natural history of tic disorders, common co-occurring conditions, and practical strategies for counseling and supporting families.  Joining us for this conversation is Chelsey Stillman, PA-C, a physician assistant at Children's Colorado and the creator and director of the Integrative Tic Clinic. She is also an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics.  Some highlights from this episode include: What tics are and how common they are in children  The natural history and typical course of tic disorders  The differences between transient tics, chronic tic disorders, and Tourette syndrome  Common conditions that can co-occur with tic disorders  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

Jean-Michel Blais has been a celebrated figure in the post-classical piano world since the release of his critically acclaimed debut album in 2016. This fall, he's releasing a new concept album, mirador, inspired by his childhood memories and personal journey as a queer person living with Tourette syndrome. Ahead of the album's release, he joins Q guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about the shift from minimalism to something he calls “generous maximalism," and reflect on how his childhood influenced his new album.

We're diving into the "petty" but "diabolical" war between Tank Davis and Devin Haney that crossed every line after parents got involved in the trash talk.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-20-2026: An emailer asks about amlexanox for mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Dr. Dawn first walks through MCAS diagnostic criteria—requiring symptoms across at least two of four categories (skin, low blood pressure, abdominal, respiratory), with serum tryptase testing performed both during and after a flare. She grades amlexanox as a C: originally FDA-approved only as a topical paste for canker sores, later approved in Japan as an asthma treatment, but never validated for MCAS and pushed largely by a single compounding pharmacy and its influencer clones. She recommends conventional agents first—antihistamines, montelukast, cromolyn, quercetin, aspirin for flushing, and Xolair anti-IgE antibodies for severe cases—plus microcrystalline cellulose as the safest capsule filler if compounding of amellanox is pursued. Most ovarian cancers—including nearly all fatal cases—actually originate in the fimbriae of the fallopian tubes rather than the ovaries themselves. Opportunistic salpingectomy tacks a five-minute fallopian tube removal onto any abdominal surgery (tubal ligation, hernia repair, gallbladder, appendectomy), potentially reducing lifetime ovarian cancer risk by 65% -80% based on epidemiological data from Swedish, Canadian, and Danish registry studies. Dr. Dawn recommends particular consideration for non-childbearing women with BRCA1/2 or family history of breast or ovarian cancer. Deep brain stimulator devices manufactured after 2020 (about 40,000 U.S. patients) contain adaptive-DBS capability that can be activated via firmware upgrade without additional surgery. Rather than delivering constant stimulation like older devices, adaptive DBS reads beta oscillations (13-30 Hz motor-control brainwaves) in the basal ganglia and modulates output in real time—reducing stimulation as L-DOPA peaks from drugs and increasing it as medication wears off, smoothing the swings between agitation and freezing. Sleep improvement has emerged as a notable secondary benefit, potentially slowing disease progression. The technology is also being investigated for dystonia, essential tremor, OCD, and Tourette's syndrome. Chinese company StarMed is developing brain-computer interfaces closely resembling Neuralink designs, benefiting from aggressive government funding, large patient populations, and reduced tort liability. One trial uses an eight-probe device placed atop the dura mater (avoiding brain penetration) connected to a pneumatic glove that has restored eating and drinking function in about twenty paralyzed patients over twenty months. A more invasive Shanghai trial implanted 256 probes on the neural cortex of a woman with epilepsy who could operate social media and control a wheelchair within two weeks; a related U.S. system using 65 hair-thin sensors enabled speech with just ten-millisecond delay. An emailer describes recurring two-week viral illnesses (sore throat, swollen glands, congestion, cough, body aches) recurring every 4-6 weeks. Dr. Dawn frames the question as either impaired immunity or changed exposure. She recommends starting with a CBC to rule out blood dyscrasias like leukemia, checking urine mycotoxins for mold exposure, then examining behavioral changes—new job, handling cash before eating, and the well-documented protective effect of masking in public that dramatically reduced cold rates during COVID. Dr. Dawn covers three health policy items. The good: new USDA dietary guidelines flip the food pyramid, putting protein, dairy, healthy fats, vegetables, and fruits at the top, with whole grains reduced to a small band, and it's recommendation 1.2 g/kg protein daily. The bad: an executive order attempting to reduce childhood vaccines from 18 to 11 and separate MMR into individual components—impossible since no U.S. manufacturer makes the individual antigens, and misguided since infant hepatitis B vaccination prevents mother-to-child liver cancer transmission. The ugly: a 26-year-old heart transplant recipient whose insurer initially dropped coverage of her generic anti-rejection drug, then "ghost approved" it at $1,000 for 90 days versus the previous $180. Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Pharmacy now supplies her the same medication for $300 (cost plus 15% profit plus 5% handling), highlighting the massive markups embedded in the standard pharmacy chain. For a time before that, the mother of the heart donor stepped up and paid for the recipients anti-rejection drugs to keep her son's heart beating.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King and headline king Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging conversation exploring politics, current events, media, sports, internet culture, and accountability. Mandii opens the show by previewing another packed episode [ 00:38 ]. After introducing the producers and celebrating a birthday [ 03:02 ], the crew eases into the conversation with playful banter about Spanish language skills, cultural identity, respectability politics, and internet clapbacks [ 03:25 ][ 07:22 ][ 08:25 ]. Mandii's signature "Ignorant Take" argues that society has lost its sense of humor, using the story of a Welsh man arrested for standing on a hospital roof dressed as the Grim Reaper as an example of where comedy collides with public outrage [ 11:47 ]. That conversation expands after reacting to a viral Tourette syndrome traffic stop video [ 17:42 ], before debating fake medical emergencies, cheating, and the ethics of manipulating sympathy [ 22:56 ]. The segment concludes with discussion surrounding a fatal altercation inside a Tim Hortons, where a 75-year-old customer later died after suffering a medical episode during a fight, prompting questions about accountability, escalation, and public responsibility [ 25:34 ]. In "This Is America," the crew return to the Nolan Wells case, providing updates after reports that the official autopsy has been presented to a grand jury [ 28:15 ]. The crew discusses the complications surrounding a second autopsy after several organs were removed, debating how those limitations may affect future legal proceedings while examining whether responsibility extends beyond visible injuries alone [ 32:44 ]. The conversation then pivots toward national politics as the hosts examine growing momentum among progressive candidates heading into the upcoming midterm elections [ 34:16 ], before reacting to Cory Booker's criticism of Democratic leadership, political corruption, and institutional complacency [ 36:28 ]. They also unpack conversations surrounding AIPAC, campaign influence, and congressional term limits [ 40:13 ], while debating how progressive politicians are packaged, marketed, and received by voters [ 46:03 ]. Politics remains front and center as the crew reacts to a viral interview featuring Miami restaurateur Chef Creole, who publicly expressed regret over supporting Donald Trump after changes affecting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) created staffing challenges for his business [ 48:23 ]. That conversation expands into a broader discussion about immigration policy, voter expectations, and political consequences, particularly within immigrant communities [50:28 ]. The episode then shifts to sports and culture after former NBA players Enes Kanter and Royce White announce plans to declare for the WNBA, framing the move as a challenge to existing gender eligibility policies [ 58:46 ]. The hosts debate the broader implications for women's sports, gender identity, fairness, and public discourse [ 01:04:21], while also discussing reactions surrounding Sophie Cunningham [ 01:08:11 ] and examining whether most fans are genuinely invested in the debate or simply engaging with another viral controversy [ 01:11:49 ][ 01:13:10 ]. Closing out the episode, Mandii, A-King and Jah turn their attention to Kenny Smith's third marriage, discussing age gaps, prenuptial agreements, and the financial realities of modern marriage [ 01:14:11 ][ 01:15:31][ 01:17:48 ]. The conversation then shifts to the tragic case of a 24-year-old woman accused of scamming professional athletes who was later found dead in a New Jersey swimming pool, prompting reflections on internet fame, crime, and personal accountability [ 01:18:38 ]. The episode concludes with reactions to A$AP Rocky publicly distancing himself from a graphic designer after a private direct message was shared online, leading to a broader conversation about privacy, clout chasing, professional boundaries, and trust in the social media era [ 01:20:57 ][01:27:14 ]. Wrapping with final thoughts and shoutouts [ 01:35:18 ], the crew delivers another thought-provoking episode blending humor, politics, sports, internet culture, and the complex conversations shaping today's headlines.

In this episode, we explore intuition, divine timing, and the courage required to act before fear takes over.Through an honest and embodied conversation, we unpack why so many people feel stuck waiting for the “right moment,” how intuitive nudges are often ignored in favour of safety and performance, and why alignment only becomes real through action. We explore presence as the gateway to intuition, and how bliss, liberation, and confidence emerge not from waiting, but from moving when something inside says now.The conversation moves into deeper territory around conscious leadership, tantra, authenticity, and creating your reality through lived integrity rather than concepts. We explore how fear disguises itself as patience, why overthinking blocks momentum, and how courage is built by acting before certainty arrives.This episode is for anyone interested in intuition, spiritual leadership, authenticity, presence, conscious creation, and living in alignment — especially if you're done playing small and ready to step into what you already know you're here to do.Watch the episode on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/yeskingoliverConnect & explore moreInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yeskingoliverFREE course — Take Control: http://www.talkwitholiver.comEpisode Chapters00:00 – Wanting to be yourself01:35 – Society's false self vs the true self03:00 – Doing the inner work early04:10 – What conscious leadership really means06:00 – Dropping performance and identity layers07:40 – Sex, relationships, and authenticity10:00 – Waiting vs acting: the real cost12:10 – Divine timing and quantum shifts14:45 – Purpose, visibility, and discomfort17:00 – Presence as the home of intuition19:30 – Building courage through action21:20 – Acting on intuition without overthinking23:30 – Alignment and trust25:00 – From anxiety to authentic living27:00 – Bliss through inner return30:00 – Final reflections on purpose and visionGuest BioJapa is a sound healer, spiritual guide, and former touring musician whose journey spans performance, devotion, and service.

A vergonha pode surgir como um peso que nos faz acreditar que há algo irremediavelmente errado conosco. No filme *Mais Forte do que Eu*, um jovem com síndrome de Tourette sofre por atitudes involuntárias que ferem as pessoas e o deixam cada vez mais isolado. Sua vida começa a mudar quando uma mulher o acolhe sem reduzi-lo aos seus impulsos e limitações. Esse amor paciente devolve-lhe a coragem de sair do esconderijo, trabalhar, construir uma nova história e descobrir que sua identidade era muito maior do que aquilo que lhe causava humilhação.Existe uma diferença decisiva entre reconhecer a culpa e viver dominado pela vergonha. A culpa diz: “Eu fiz algo errado e preciso reparar”; a vergonha afirma: “Eu sou uma pessoa ruim e não tenho solução”. A primeira pode conduzir ao arrependimento, ao pedido de perdão e à conversão. A segunda paralisa, alimenta a ansiedade e empurra para a fuga. Desde Adão, que se escondeu de Deus depois do pecado, o ser humano tenta escapar da luz, transferir responsabilidades e evitar a verdade. Mas Deus não pergunta “Onde estás?” para condenar. Ele nos procura porque deseja salvar, curar e reconstruir.Confessar um erro é romper o silêncio que mantém a alma aprisionada. Como a criança que roubou um cartão-postal e passou a viagem inteira imaginando que seria descoberta, podemos transformar uma falha em uma sentença contra nós mesmos. Quando o pecado é levado à luz, porém, começamos a enxergá-lo com distância: aquilo foi cometido por mim, mas não é toda a minha identidade. Até os fracassos cotidianos, como uma gravação que dá errado repetidas vezes, podem ensinar que a próxima escolha é mais importante do que o erro anterior. Como dizia Miles Davis, somente a nota seguinte revelará o verdadeiro sentido da nota que parecia errada.O cristianismo anuncia um profundo otimismo sobre a pessoa humana. Não somos definidos pelos pecados, pelas quedas, pelo corpo, pelas limitações ou pelos momentos constrangedores. Somos filhos de Deus, chamados à santidade e destinados à glória. Cristo suportou a Cruz, desprezou a vergonha e abriu os braços para nos salvar. Por isso, a resposta não é fugir, abandonar a oração ou esconder-se de Deus, mas fixar os olhos em Jesus, buscar a confissão e recomeçar. Com a ajuda de Nossa Senhora, podemos abandonar a identidade que a vergonha tenta impor e caminhar com esperança para a vida plena que Deus preparou para nós._____________Referências:Filme: Mais Forte do que Eu (I Swear)Filme: Divertida Mente 2Livro: Crime e Castigo - Fiódor Dostoiévski

You're going to happily baby step your way right into this film. Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss) is a somewhat prickly pear of a fella. He has just published a book and is about to take his family, Fay (Julie Hagerty), Siggy (Charlie Korsmo) and Anna (Kathryn Erbe), on a month-long summer vacation to their summer home in New Hampshire. Dr. Marvin takes on Bob Wiley (Bill Murray) as a new patient before his trip with the fam, and Bob takes his obsessive attachment and neurotic tendencies to a new level by tracking Dr. Marvin down. Good thing for Bob is that, outside of Dr. Marvin, everyone in the family loves him! Meanwhile, Leo is losing it! RTS enjoys comfort food on these hot summer nights. It's all so scrumptious. “Is this hand-shucked?” Jeremy gets strapped to a boat and goes sailing. He's a sailor.

Hunter Montgomery has been sober for nearly 20 years – but his story didn't begin with heroin. It began with a football injury, a prescription for painkillers, and the belief that he'd finally found something that made him feel comfortable in his own skin. In this honest conversation, Hunter joins Zac Clark to unpack the hidden beginning of addiction, why so many people suffer in silence, and what finally broke the cycle. They explore the misconceptions surrounding recovery, the danger of trying to "do it your own way," the role of surrender, faith, service, and why long-term recovery isn't about simply avoiding drugs or alcohol – it's about building a life worth staying sober for. Hunter also opens up about surviving an overdose, navigating relapse, living with Tourette syndrome in the public eye, finding recovery at a young age, co-parenting after divorce, becoming a father again, and why he now uses his platform and career to help others ask for help before it's too late. Whether you're in recovery, love someone who is, or simply want to better understand how addiction really takes hold, this is a conversation about hope, identity, and the possibility of lasting change.

“Hello, my name is Frank.” Join Ian & Liam for our 340th episode as we step into the awkward, tender, and unexpectedly moving world of Hello, My Name Is Frank (2014). Megs isn't with us this week — she agreed to supervise a road trip but abandoned the assignment after discovering nobody had prepared an itinerary. Kev? He's currently trapped at a support-group meeting after introducing himself and accidentally agreeing to organise the next twelve sessions. This week we discuss: Garrett M. Brown's performance as Frank — vulnerable, funny, and painfully sincere. Does the film give its central character the depth and dignity he deserves? The road-trip structure — does taking Frank away from his familiar routines allow the story to open up, or does it rely too heavily on familiar indie-film conventions? The film's depiction of Tourette syndrome — compassionate, educational, and humanising, or occasionally too eager to turn Frank's condition into a source of comedy? Ian explores the film's narrative construction — how a collection of eccentric characters and emotional detours builds toward something more heartfelt than expected. Liam examines the balance between laughing with Frank and laughing at him — and whether the film always knows the difference. The unlikely group dynamic — loneliness, grief, friendship, and the strange families people create when the ones they were given cannot provide what they need. The relationship between Frank and Laura — does it develop naturally, or does the film push its emotional destination before earning every step of the journey? The supporting performances — which characters enrich Frank's story, and which feel as though they have wandered in from a broader, quirkier comedy? The “show versus tell” balance — does the film allow us to understand Frank through behaviour and relationships, or explain too much of what we should be discovering ourselves? The tonal shifts — broad comedy, uncomfortable encounters, and genuine sadness. Does the film hold those elements together without becoming emotionally manipulative? The third act identity crisis — at what point does Hello, My Name Is Frank quietly stop being about Frank? We unpack one of the strangest narrative pivots we've seen in years. The ending — hopeful, sentimental, or exactly the kind of emotional release the story requires? And finally, whether Hello, My Name Is Frank is the Best Film Ever — or simply a small, sincere film with more empathy than polish.

Desde pequena, Sabrina carregava a sensação de não pertencer a lugar algum. Na escola, era a criança que ficava sem recreio porque não conseguia acompanhar a aula, sofria bullying e acabou encontrando abrigo justamente entre os “desasjusados”. Sem entender o que acontecia dentro de si, cresceu tentando anestesiar uma dor. Aos 13 anos, encontrou no álcool uma fuga, que só a fez afundar. Na vida adulta, suas crises emocionais passaram a afetar o trabalho, os relacionamentos e a própria vontade de continuar vivendo.Durante muito tempo, todos enxergavam apenas uma mulher emocionalmente descontrolada. Até que vieram os laudos. Autismo, TDAH, ansiedade, depressão e síndrome de Tourette. O diagnóstico trouxe respostas, mas também o peso de aceitar que aquela diferença tinha alguns nomes.Nessa época, o Glück já fazia parte da sua vida. Ele chegou filhote e, logo nos primeiros meses, Sabrina descobriu que ele era surdo. Em vez de desistir, aprendeu uma nova forma de se comunicar com seu cãozinho. Adaptou comandos, treinou cada gesto e construiu uma linguagem com ele..Anos depois, aquele cachorro que já era companhia se tornou seu cão de assistência, que auxilia a Sabrina em momentos de crise.Hoje, antes mesmo que Sabrina perceba uma crise chegando, o Glück percebe. Ele encosta a cabeça na sua perna, cutuca suas mãos e tenta chamar sua atenção. Quando ela começa a se machucar, batendo a cabeça ou arranhando o próprio rosto, ele salta sobre seu corpo e faz o que os especialistas chamam de terapia de pressão. O peso do seu corpo interrompe o caos. Sabrina respira, acaricia seu pelo e, aos poucos, volta para a realidade.Ela costuma dizer que existe uma diferença enorme entre sair sozinha e sair ao lado dele. Antes, uma crise no meio da rua podia fazê-la ficar totalmente perdida. Hoje, ela sabe que não está sozinha.Porque, às vezes, o que salva uma vida não é apenas encontrar um diagnóstico, mas um ser vivo que, mesmo sem ouvir uma única palavra, aprende exatamente como cuidar de você.

Tourette syndrome is a motor disorder that begins in childhood or adolescence. Characterized by movement tics and at least one vocal tic, it's often portrayed as unrestrained swearing. However, coprolalia only affects ten percent of people with Tourette's. Datshiane Navanayagam talks to women from Argentina and the UK about their mission to talk about this widely misunderstood condition.Lauren Wyatt says the most difficult part of having Tourette's is the public perception and reaction. Lauren says she experiences harassment almost every time she goes out with people mimicking tics, threatening her, or sometimes even throwing things. She's part of a campaign by Tourette's Action in the UK – #NoChoice – which is highlighting Tourette's as a medical condition. Lauren says she lives in constant pain due to her tics which are out of her control and have damaged her body beyond repair.Belén Prieto is an Argentinian psychologist currently living and working in Spain. She has Tourette's and is a volunteer with TTAG (Tics and Tourette's Across the Globe), an umbrella organisation for Tourette's Syndrome, raising awareness and supporting those with the condition.Produced by Jane Thurlow(Image: (L) Belén Prieto, credit Miguel Pereda.

Hay personas que, cuando la ven por la calle, se ríen. Otras creen que es peligrosa, que está siendo grosera o, incluso, que puede contagiarles algo. Todo por un padecimiento neurológico que ella no eligió y que la acompaña desde que nació.Hoy conoceremos la historia de una mujer que vive con síndrome de Tourette, una historia marcada por el rechazo y la discriminación, pero también por un enorme trabajo personal y muchísima resiliencia. Porque hay algo aún más retador que vivir con síndrome de Tourette: vivir en una sociedad que no lo conoce ni lo entiende.Por eso, hoy vamos a hablaremos de lo que significa crecer sintiéndose diferente e inadecuado, de aprender a habitar un cuerpo que parece actuar por su cuenta y de encontrar el amor para aceptarte a ti y a tu condición, que hay vida a pesar del síndrome de Tourette y que el mundo entienda que, detrás de cada tic, hay una persona que merece ser vista, respetada y comprendida.Hoy nos acompaña una mujer que es actriz, maquillista, peinadora y especialista en novias.

Opie, Mark Normand, and Carl Ruiz turn the studio into a complete circus. Carl fat-fingers his wife's smoking-hot pics to everyone (including Roland), the group immediately loses their minds, then they dial her up while she's out with the kids. Cue nonstop roasting, zipline boob stories, Mark being Mark, ancient radio chaos with a Tourette's guy jumping to “Jump Around,” IPA hate, cheap beer nostalgia, Memphis BBQ talk, and the most unhinged birthday episode you'll hear all year. Raw, filthy, and stupidly funny — pure Opie Radio chaos.

On this episode of TYP, Bobby and I talk about compassion fatigue, homelessness, performance threshold, who to help and when, being responsible for the effort but not the outcome, and we also had an interesting chat about Bobby‘s often-unrecognised disability and some of the challenges of navigating life with a traumatic brain injury, Tourette’s syndrome, PTSD, and a mind that won’t be quiet.

This month on Laura Flanders & Friends we're lifting up the people, the stories, and the ideas driving disability justice forward.  This week, two artists expand our ideas about beauty, mobility and inclusion. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description:  As the nation marks another anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), disability advocates are calling attention to the work still left undone—from expanding accessibility and representation in public life to protecting disability rights and ensuring equitable access to the arts. In this episode, Laura Flanders speaks with two groundbreaking performance artists whose work challenges assumptions about disability, creativity, and who gets to belong in our cultural spaces. Alice Sheppard, acclaimed wheelchair dancer, choreographer, and artistic director of Kinetic Light, and Jess Thom, performer, comedian, and founder of Touretteshero, explore how disability and neurodiversity expand artistic possibility rather than limit it. Through their work, they invite audiences to rethink conventional ideas of beauty, access, productivity, and "normalcy." In conversation with Laura, they examine the role of art in advancing social change, the importance of disabled leadership in cultural institutions, and why accessibility should be understood not as an accommodation for a few, but as a creative and democratic practice that benefits everyone. At a moment when disability rights, inclusive design, and authentic representation remain pressing civic issues, Sheppard and Thom offer a vision of a richer, more imaginative society—one that recognizes difference as a source of collective strength, innovation, and cultural vitality. Guests:  Alice Sheppard: wheelchair dancer and choreographer, artistic director, Kinetic Light. Jess Thom: performer, comedian and founder of Touretteshero.   Watch the episode released on our YouTube channel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode); and airing on community radio (check here to see if your station airs the show) & available as a podcast.

De flesta tror att Tourettes syndrom handlar om att svära och säga olämpliga saker, men det är ovanligt. Men också de mer vanliga ticsen med rörelser och ljud kan ställa till det. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Programmet är en repris från mars 2026.Nu har spelfilmen ”I swear” gått upp på bio, om brittiske John Davidson och hans liv med Tourettes syndrom. Den har fått stor uppmärksamhet, inte minst för de tics som fick Davidson att ropa otidigheter på Bafta-galan tidigare i år.Men hans form av tourette är inte den vanliga – bland de cirka en procent som får diagnosen som barn kämpar de flesta med andra problem. Och många är trötta på att den allmänna bilden att diagnosen handlar om att säga opassande saker – när de vanligaste vokala ticsen är harklingar och fnysningar.För att få diagnosen Tourettes syndrom behöver man ha både motoriska tics (rörelser) och vokala tics (ljud) och ticsen ska ha pågått i minst ett år och börjat före 18 års ålder. Ofta debuterar de i tidig barndom.Fernando Nyrén fick diagnosen när han var tio. Hans tics kan skifta över tid och ibland också ge fysiska konsekvenser, som smärta i nacke och axlar. Ändå kan han inte sluta. Han jämför känslan med att försöka hålla inne en nysning: spänningen byggs upp tills ticset måste “ut”.Medverkande: Fernando Nyrén, med egen erfarenhet av Tourettes syndrom, Per Andrén, psykolog och forskare, Lunds universitet.

Our understanding of life with Tourette Syndrome has improved in recent years as more celebrities like Lewis Capaldi open up about their struggles as well as films like 'I Swear' showing the realities of the condition which can cause uncontrollable tics. This week, we wanted to hear a first hand account of life with the neurological condition so we spoke to Martin Sturman. Martin had mild tics as a child but never paid any attention to them until he suffered a traumatic experience in 2022 and the severity increased. He went from blinking and random bursts of song to throwing sandwiches across the room and shouting curses. He told us about not knowing what was happening to him at first, what it feels like to try and suppress a tic, and the public reaction to Tourette's.Martin has a good sense of humour about it all and told us about the times he's said something that he can't help but laugh at. And he's probably the only guest who can get away with shouting a curse directly at Terence... This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture - RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT STYLE, RIGHT NOW.

Two RISK! stories pulled from the archive, and both are worth your time. "The Best of Adventure Stories #3" is funny and unsettling in equal measure, sometimes within the same story. Winter Tashlin was 16 years old, at a Jewish summer camp in New York, and desperately wanted one good day. The plan was the Empire State Building and a performance of Les Mis. He has Tourette syndrome, the city is unforgiving, and the day keeps getting worse. Meanwhile, Marshall York drove solo across the American West, pitched a tent alone in the Grand Tetons, and went to sleep. Sometime in the night, a voice started speaking to him from inside the tent, calm and close and saying something he could not explain.
