5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for even an oldster like me, October 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hi, I'm Adam: A Child's Book About Tourette Syndrome (Paperback)

The book is written for a very young audience, but when my 27 year-old son read it he cried. He could remember feeling the same way, and even doing the same things. He had never talked to anyone about it, but really opened up after reading it. We had a hard time getting a diagnosis, so it was especially heartfelt for me to learn that we're not alone in this big thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very insightful and we're glad we found it, October 11, 1999

Our entire Tourette group has passed this book around and it is very good. Even small children can understand the messages here. And, they are happy to find out a young child their age wrote it. Two adult Touretters also said they felt just that way, and never thought anyone else did.

This review is from: Hi, I'm Adam: A Child's Book About Tourette Syndrome (Paperback)

WOW! You have no idea how good it feels seeing that some people actually appreciated my writings.. that's just awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to understand how i felt (I was only 10) about having to live with Tourette's Syndrome. Thanks even more for reviewing my book.. wow. I'm glad to see I've been able to reach people and help them. I'm 20 now, and it's been 10 years since I wrote those books, but it was a genuine feeling of accomplishment and meaning when I read your reviews. Again, thank you very much, you just made my dad/week/year..

(It wouldn't let me post this without rating the book, so I gave it a middle-rating of 3, hope I don't affect anything with that)
