Description
My name is Craig Whitley and I am the father of a Tourette Syndrome child. My 17-year old son John has had Tourette symptoms since the age of eight. John, like most Tourette patients, is a very bright child and has a high I.Q. He is very creative and has the heart of a lion. Most importantly, John is one of the most loving people I have ever met or known.
Prior to the on-set of Tourette Syndrome motor tics at the age of 8, John made A's and B's in every subject and showed few signs of ADD or ADHD. Although John's tics have been diagnosed as "mild" for a Tourette's patient, the associated attention deficit problems and hyperactivity that often accompanies Tourette's has made school very difficult for John -- and his grades have suffered. John has encountered numerous tics over the past 5 years and often displays them in sequential fashion.
When John was much younger he was sometimes teased and made fun of by his peers. However, John's outgoing personality, optimism, creativity and positive mental attitude prevented much of the embarrassment many children with Tourette Syndrome feel when being teased, picked-on or avoided by classmates and peer groups. John has never had a problem in telling friends and new acquaintances that he has Tourette Syndrome.
