Product Description
Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder usually diagnosed in childhood. It is characterized by tics, physical jerks, and involuntary vocalizations. Children with Tourette's can experience anxiety, embarrassment, sometimes even harassment. Their symptoms often prevent them from building good relationships, achieving their best in school, and having a normal childhood. The good news is that OCD is very treatable. Tourette's Syndromehelps parents:
    Secure an accurate and complete diagnosisLive with Tourette's in the family: use effective parenting techniques, build support systems, and handle difficult issuesUnderstand medical interventionsGet appropriate medical care from an existing health planDeal with Tourette's in the community and workplaceNavigate the education systemFind resources
Author Mitzi Waltz, an advocate for children's neurological issues, has included the stories of dozens of parents and adolescents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good overview with lots of information, January 2, 2003
By Brett W. Coon (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My son starting displaying tics, so I went to the library in
search of information. This book looked good, so I took it
home and read it. I found it very readable and informative.
I believe the author is not a medical expert, which normally
would make me skeptical of the information, but in this case
the book seems very well researched and reasonable. I like it.
The text includes frequent quotes from people with TS, their
parents, and others, which I found helpful and reassuring.
I haven't read enough TS books to really say how this
one compares to others, but I don't think anyone who buys
this book will be disappointed.

FYI, after reading this book, I was convinced my son did
in fact have Tourettes, so I took him to a neurologist, and
it was confirmed. I felt the book had prepared me well for
everything the neurologist told me.
