Because I Said So—S2E13: Tourette’s—Invisible Disability

In this episode, my lovely friend Auldyn Plant describes the basics you need to know about what Tourette Syndrome is, how it manifests, and what you can do to better accommodate those who live with it. She is vulnerable and honest with her experiences, including what led her to the process of changing schools and brutal mental health episodes, but also with the ability it has given her to become more empathetic to others with disabilities. I am so excited for you all to hear this, and I am also so humbled to know this amazing human. As you will see, Tourette's is a part of her, but it isn't who she is.
