This is not good. No doubt partly due to the closing down, or increasing competitiveness, of other funding routes and the ever more difficult job market.

Today marks the start of Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month. Instead of showing you're aware of us, show solidarity. Challenge ableism. Recognise our experiences as more-than-tics. Listen to tourettic voices over non-tourettic parents. Question media portrayals. We deserve more than acknowledgement.
