WHATEVER HAPPENED TO TWITCH MORGAN?'An approachable and uplifting story of life with Tourette's Syndrome'Growing up with a condition I knew nothing about, I was confused. Doctors called it Tourette's Syndrome, others called it a twitch, but what did that mean, and why did I find myself compelled to utter strange sounds and make jerking movements that drew unwanted attention? What was happening to my childhood, and would these unwelcome episodes ever go away?For years Tourette's Syndrome was a dark stain on my life, but over time I realised it had taken my life along unexpected paths, leaving me more fulfilled than I had ever thought possible.WHATEVER HAPPENED TO TWITCH MORGAN? is an honest, heart-warming and often humorous record of life and achievement with Tourette's Syndrome, and proof that in many cases the condition is not something to hold back success and happiness. If you find yourself with Tourette's Syndrome, know someone with the condition or simply want to know more, then this book is for you.
