TRANSCRIPT HERE
Join the enigmatic tiktok star and disability advocate Monica Nguyen as she chats with Steph about all things Tourettes Syndrome in film and TV, on social media, and on those wonderfully nuanced* feature stories on programmes such as 60 Minutes. We get to the bottom of whether Tiktok has created a Tourette’s epidemic, and Mon tells us her own experience with tiktok advocacy, and some helpful and harmful depictions of Tourette’s Syndrome in film.
*sarcasm, A LOT of sarcasm.
