Understanding Tourette's with Jess Thom
from Standard Issue Podcast · host Standard Issue
If the ongoing furore surrounding last week's Baftas has proved anything, it's how poorly understood Tourette Syndrome still is. Hannah chats to campaigner, comedian and the woman behind Touretteshero, Jess Thom, about living with oppositional tics, why everyone supports the disabled community (until they don't), and how the vital Access to Work scheme is being neglected.
