It can be very difficult to live with Tourette's syndrome. It is a mental disability that is hard to cope with in a world that is so full of noise and a fundamental lack of understanding about Tourette's syndrome.

3. Know who your true friends are. People who love us genuinely and are real friends won't laugh at us or make fun at our disabilities. If you find that someone is like that towards you, have nothing to do with that person and find people who will truly care about you for who you are.

So, it is important not to strike everyone who says a wrong word that will hurt us.

6. Give people more than one chance to understand you. Since Tourette's syndrome is so little understood, we must give other people more than one chance to understand us. If they keep hurting us on purpose, however, it is time to move on and connect with other people.
