May 15th-June 15th is Tourette Syndrome Awareness month, and I look forward to it each year because it gives me a chance to talk a bit more about Tourette Syndrome and how it affects those living with it. This year has been a bit of a tough one for Gerry as far as his tics are concerned, but he's handled himself so much better than I ever could at his age.
Each day I share a few facts and/or anecdotes about TS on Facebook and Instagram to bring awareness to it. Last year, a friend of mine from high school who I had NO IDEA was also diagnosed sent me a message after I had posted during awareness month, and it was so awesome to connect with him. He'd been diagnosed after high school if I remember correctly (and, J, if you're reading this feel free to correct me) and neither of us had been aware that the other had the syndrome until I posted about it. Crazy to think about, but kind of cool, too.
So buckle up for a month of TS facts and info! #TSAwarenessMonth2021
