S5 - Episode 8 - Now's The Time

Amanda Talty is back! The president and CEO of the Tourette Association of America talks ways to maximize Tourette Awareness Month, what's happening in the world that hopefully leads to an easier time discussing mental health, what happened at the recent TAA Virtual Conference, and what TAA's programming is focusing on. Plus - listeners questions for Ben: What's your most awkward tic? What's kept you busy during the quarantine? Also - masking tics with an actual mask. Oh, and if you musically inclined Touretters (or anyone else) want to submit Tourette's Podcast jingles, that's 100% welcomed. Tourette's Podcast is made possible by the support of the Tourette Association of America, https://tourette.org/. TAA Virtual Conference  "The Story of the Human Rubberneck" by Shaharah Gaznabbi

Om Podcasten

Authentic conversations about Tourette Syndrome, produced by an insider who isn't interested in the ol' one-dimensional take on what it's like to have TS. On each episode, host Ben Brown talks with a fellow Touretter about his or her history, tics, social interactions and daily management of Tourette's -- whether by masking it, owning it, medicating it, or something altogether different. It's engaging, funny, heavy, real. Get ready to meet people who blow away the standard portrayal.
