The Challenges Of Being A Teacher With Tourettes
May 13, 2019
Natalie Pearson is a primary school teacher and one of a few in the world to also have Tourette’s syndrome.
Tourettes causes her to swear, sometimes in class, and also jerk her body – but she says her students and colleagues have embraced it.
The science teacher was diagnosed with late-onset Tourette’s syndrome at the age of 21 and believes a traumatic rape at university was the trigger.
Natalie’s story was originally heard on the BBC’s Multi Story podcast.
