Now, we haven’t Tourette’s yet here. Not that we’re leaving out that
cripness. I don’t think either of us know
anybody with Tourette’s, so this series’ll be interesting and a tearjerker, I
can tell from next week’s trailer.
Anyway, Raising Tourette’s
centers around 5 fams: Kristin - Age 17:
Heading into her senior year in high school, Kristin is preparing to apply for
college while managing the symptom inducing stress of new classes, marching
band practice and school dances.
Charlee - Age 13: Free spirited Charlee is facing an
increase in her Tourette's Syndrome right as she heads back to public school
after being home schooled.
Kaden - Age 11: Army brat Kaden is gearing up to start his
sixth new school in as many years and uses his love of music and playing the
cello to help manage his tics.
Sam - Age 16: Using humor as a shield, Sam expresses himself
through videos he posts on social media but still struggles to find inner
confidence as he works to find his place in the real world
Colton - Age 15: Having taken a break from school due to a
physical tic that caused him to fall, Colton is heading back to school which he
hopes will help him to overcome his intense social anxiety.
I got the above bios from A&E’s site.
The interesting thing I learned Tourette’s and OCD and
depression seem to go hand in hand. I
don’t know if the OCD and depression are by-products or are the catalyst of
Tourette’s. I hope to learn that as the
season progresses.
What we’ve learned, like any other cripness, the way to cope’s
being pro-active and adapting in order to live in the world. Like I’ve said here, and they’ve mirrored my
words, albeit in their own words, true friends’ll come along for the ride, or
they’ll slough off.
Guys, give Raising
Tourette’s a go. I’m invested
already with the series Tivoed if we miss an episode.
Be good to each other.
