287 It's Not All About Swearing with Mandy Barnett

As mother of two children with Tourette's syndrome and with a background in medicine and education, Mandy Barnett realised that this was something that she had a unique perspective on. When Covid hit in March 2020, her daughter had to shield and Mandy became aware of a huge spike of cases of Tourette's syndrome being reported in the press. Writing a practical guide, Mandy's aim was to provide help to parents of children with Tourette's syndrome in a post-pandemic world and to educate people that it's not all about swearing.   KEY TAKEAWAY "It can be a positive part of who you are. A lot of Touretters are now saying actually, it's up to the rest of the world to adapt to us. Not the other way around. We bring amazing qualities of creativity and ability and it's time for people to recognise that side of it and not just assume that we are in some way diminished."
