Tourette Warriors: Stories of Resilience and Triumph

By Jason Michaels

The superpowers that develop in individuals with Tourette Syndrome are forged through the fire of living with uncontrollable movement and vocal tics. Instead of focusing on embarrassment and alienation, author and Touretter Jason Michaels changes the narrative and chooses to celebrate empathy, compassion, and gratitude.

In Tourette Warriors, Michaels interviews adults with Tourette Syndrome who have overcome bullying, victim mentality, and social stigmas to live successful, normal, and often, extraordinary lives.

These individuals are real-life examples of warriors, people who did not listen to the naysayers, nor did they retreat from the battle. Instead, these warriors bravely chose to live a path of resilience and in so doing, triumphed over the often-misunderstood disability Tourette Syndrome.
