Tourette's Podcast

This week, Britney and Jhonelle sit down and speak with our guest, Kel Hannum. In this episode, we talk about his experience serving in the U.S. Airforce for 23 years as a civil engineer officer, others' responses to learning he had TS while serving, his experience with PTSD, parallels between tic disorders and PTSD, being diagnosed later in life, and much more!

In this episode, Jhonelle and Britney take a lighthearted approach and talks about weird and humorous things their tics have made them do. They also talk about the importance of being able to laugh them off from time to time and how laughing with a person who tics instead of at them are two different and important distinctions.

In this episode, Britney Wolf and Jhonelle Bean talk about how tics affect them, some features of tic disorders, like echopraxia, tics versus stimming, imposer syndrome, and much more.

It's a moving season finale episode talking with guest Allen Shoaff (a Tourette Association Rising Leader and Youth Ambassador) after highlighting the upcoming Tic Con and a dedication to a Touretter the community recently lost. A subsequent project seeks to build a top-class treatment facility for complex cases of Tourette. Thanks so much to the Tourette Association of America for making another season of episodes possible.

We're back from our holiday and personal-biz break with a solid conversation Ben recorded recently with guest Sophie. This wasn't their first time talking; Sophie had involved Ben in a project she was working on regarding Tourette portrayals and the media experience. They examine that a bit before covering all sorts of life ground, as tends to happen with Tourette conversations. And mark this on your calendar (United States folks): March 8, the National Day of Advocacy, with a visit to Capitol Hill to advocate for Tourette and tic disorders. We'll repeat this info on the podcast in the episodes leading up to it. For more, visit https://tourette.org/.

On this episode, a thoroughly good-vibe conversation with Raven, aka @poecrastinator on the socials.

Stephen DiJoseph of Pennsylvania is a lifelong musician whose work connects art and Tourette Syndrome and came to the podcast's attention by way of a short film he made expressing just that -- in a really effective way. It's an art film, but comes off relatable to people with Tourettic brains, and this episode -- exploring Tourette, OCD and so on through music and expression -- flows in that spirit. DiJoseph has a concert coming right up that people can stream online Nov. 11. See below.

Dan was diagnosed in the 90s, when he was in first grade, forcing him to navigate Tourette when there wasn't much easy access to community. How could he explain it? Did he need to? Could he just get by with masking? Familiar questions-to-self for many with tic disorders like Tourette. Plus: A dad explains Tourette to his 5-year-old. Tourette Gala, Nov. 10 in NYC
