It is estimated that 1 in 100 of us are born with Tourette's, and although many of these people will never be diagnosed as it is likely they will have tics so mild they may not be aware, there are those who have tics severe enough to impact their lives.

These tics can often be embarrassing and stressful, sometimes causing anxiety.

Tourettes Scotland provides invaluable support and advice for those dealing with their tics and those supporting them, and have been a source of information for us in supporting our son.
