[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Tourette’s kid is popular now? This is not real life [/quote] My 8 year old son has a classmate who I assume has Tourette’s. Earlier this year DS was complaining about the child (also a new kid in school), about how he’d jerk around and have outbursts and spit on people, but never got in trouble for it even though the teacher saw it. I explained to DS that his classmate probably has Tourette’s and that he cannot help it. I showed him a few YouTube videos about it. Now, DS and all of the boys in the class are friends with the child. DS still doesn’t love the tics and verbal outbursts, but now that he understands that they are involuntary, he tries to overlook them and no longer judges his friend for making them. So, I find the idea of the Tourette’s kid being popular in 3rd grade totally plausible. [/quote]
