My friend Cathy sent me the link today. She thought it would be good for me to read since our oldest boy was just diagnosed with TS & Asperger's today.

I'm sure you know that the ratio of males to females with TS is out of control. Sorry you're one of the lucky few! I'm glad you're here. Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you. Candidness is key. Lindsey, it would be hard not to check out a blog called Lost In Cheeseland, particularly since my favorite food is cheese.

I've had Tourette's since 2nd grade with fluctuating degrees of severity. Medication never worked, actually only worsened my symptoms and my mood and I felt even more isolated because Tourette's is more common in men. I knew no other females with the same embarrassing affliction. Now, I am married and living with it but it has shown no signs of disappearing. I recently met another female my age with very pronounced Tourette's and we told our stories in such a way that made us both feel like finally someone understood what it felt like. Growing up, the media misrepresentation of the syndrome was both infuriating and saddening and I wince everytime I hear a TS quip on TV or in movies. But I suppose we're not the only people with disorders who serve as the butt of jokes. Are you writing about this in your book? Matt Cheuvront will be doing a guest post on my blog in the near future (that's how I came across yours) so I hope you'll stop by and check it out. I’m amazed at your candidness!

His symptoms are eye blinking, sniffling, and neck twitching ( he likes to refer as his "neck bends"). I stopped to look at your page and listen to your story. VERY touching! I could hear some strong emotion in your voice. I'm glad I stopped to listen to your page. You are not alone in this crazy world. Thank You.
