Tourette's is a daily 'adventure' for comedian Pamela Rae Schuller (Enable: The Disability Podcast)

What is Tourette Syndrome really like? It's often misrepresented in the media with people simply shouting bad words, but the neurological disorder can include involuntary physical movements, vocal tics, chronic pain, and awkward social interactions. But comedian Pamela Rae Schuller sees the humor in sharing her experiences, calling it a daily "adventure." "Tourette's is what we call an umbrella disorder because most of us have a grab bag of other fun things, from ADHD to sleeping challenges, right?" noted Schuller, who also has obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety. "They often work together. I joke that they're best friends. Sometimes I'll do something from Tourette's and then OCD will be like, 'Did you think you were done? Make it even!' (laughs) And then I'm doing it not because of Tourette's but because OCD is at the wheel." Schuller is a stand-up comedian and a disability and mental health advocate who turns neurological chaos into messages of inclusion.
