Tourette's: Let me Entertain you - anybody watching

[Himalaya]

i feared it was going to be an exploitative X -Factor audition type thing, but I think its quite positive.

Not sure whether to show it to DS though in case it gives him ideas for new tics

Which channel, please?

BBCThree but just finishing,repeated at 12.30am though.

I'm taping it because I'm watching leaving and taping 999 - tv obsession.

BBC3 -just finishing now, but will be on iplayer, and next week

Thank you :)

I watched an item on the This Morni.g programme about this. There was a young guy whom has Tourettes and he was taught to play the drums to control it. Was fascinating. I shall watch.

How did you find the programme?

Hope you all enjoyed the programme.
In reply to the op - I would let your son with TS watch the programme as although it does give us more tics for a short period of time being with other ticcers, the value of seeing other people dealing with tics also is of a great help to self confidence.

Thanks TM2Y -

At the moment he doesn't have any real verbal of obscenity tics. I was worried that hearing those, and seeing ones like the girl giving the middle finger would give him the idea to try them out and then they would become compulsive. I don't know if that is how it works at all.
