Jess Thom On This Morning Today
May 9, 2012
Thanks for info @incurablehippie!
Jess Thom celebrates the humour and creativity of Tourette’s syndrome and wants to change the world “one tic at a time”.
Jess, 31, has suffered from Tourette’s since she was six years old, but wasn’t officially diagnosed until she was 25.
Jess’s ticks rarely cause her to swear, instead her speech is peppered with surreal phrases and currently almost every other word she says is biscuits!
Jess has made it her mission to try to reclaim the misunderstood condition and has set up her own charity and even adopted a superhero alter-ego, Tourette’s Hero, in an attempt to educate people.
She joins us today to explain why she believes it’s time to celebrate the humour and creativity of Tourette’s syndrome.
