Download or read book Tic Talk written by Dylan Peters and published by Story Monsters Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Tic Talk: Living with Tourette Syndrome, Dylan Peters shares what he learned of tolerance and acceptance during the first five years with Tourette Syndrome. In a style that is often humorous and always insightful, Dylan helps others, young and old, understand TS and the enormous pressures this little-understood affliction places on those who have it and on those who love them. Dylan Peters was only four years old when he was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. Over the five years since, he's battled the fears and insecurities that come from having this often misunderstood affliction. Dylan is both an inquisitive young man and a gifted writer. What he shares with readers will help us all understand not only Tourette Syndrome, but also to be more accepting of all people. Dylan has given the world a most valuable look into his world. We are all the wiser and more compassionate for it. Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that affects approximately one in 1,000 children, most often between the ages of six and nine. It's a gift to have such a youngster as Dylan be willing and able to convey to the rest of us just what his life is like. Whether he intended to or not, Dylan's message of acceptance for those with Tourette Syndrome is equally applicable to others we encounter who may be facing entirely different problems. Such is the wisdom of this young man. Dylan chose his friend, Zachary Wendland, to be the illustrator for his book. Zachary's drawings convey a similarly deep understanding of acceptance and tolerance for others.

Book Synopsis Can't You Just Stop It? by : Alina White
Download or read book Can't You Just Stop It? written by Alina White and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-03-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well, hello there! My name is Alina, and I'm excited to share my journey through life with Tourette's in this book. I mean, who doesn't want to read about a lovely lady with a potty mouth and an uncontrollable urge to twitch and shout, am I right? So, let me start by saying that having Tourette's is not all bad. Sure, I may look like a freakshow to some, but I like to think of myself as a one-woman circus act. I mean, who needs acrobats and clowns when you have me around, right? In this book, I'm going to take you through my Tourette's journey, from the moment I first started ticking to my struggles in the workplace. But don't worry, I won't bore you with medical jargon and scientific explanations. I'll leave that to the doctors and scientists who get paid the big bucks. Instead, I'm going to share with you the joys of twitching and shouting, the awkward moments in school, and the challenges of dating with Tourette's. Spoiler alert: it's not easy, folks. But hey, at least I have an excuse for being single, right? I'll also be sharing some of my tried-and-failed coping mechanisms, like meditation and deep breathing. Who needs Zen when you can just scream obscenities at the top of your lungs? Trust me, it's much more cathartic. And let's not forget about the humor in tics. Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes I can't help but laugh at myself when I'm ticking like a maniac in public. It's like my own personal comedy show. But unfortunately, not everyone sees the humor in it. In fact, there's still a lot of stigma surrounding Tourette's. Some people still think we're possessed by the devil or just plain crazy. But don't worry, I'll teach you how to convince people that you're not a lunatic. So, get ready to laugh, cry, and cringe as I take you on a journey through life with Tourette's. And who knows, maybe by the end of this book, you'll be twitching and shouting right alongside me.
Download or read book Icy Sparks written by Gwyn Hyman Rubio and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2001-03-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book and the March 2001 selection of Oprah's Book Club® ! Icy Sparks is the sad, funny and transcendent tale of a young girl growing up in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky during the 1950’s. Gwyn Hyman Rubio’s beautifully written first novel revolves around Icy Sparks, an unforgettable heroine in the tradition of Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird or Will Treed in Cold Sassy Tree. At the age of ten, Icy, a bright, curious child orphaned as a baby but raised by adoring grandparents, begins to have strange experiences. Try as she might, her "secrets"—verbal croaks, groans, and physical spasms—keep afflicting her. As an adult, she will find out she has Tourette’s Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, but for years her behavior is the source of mystery, confusion, and deep humiliation. Narrated by a grown up Icy, the book chronicles a difficult, but ultimately hilarious and heartwarming journey, from her first spasms to her self-acceptance as a young woman. Curious about life beyond the hills, talented, and energetic, Icy learns to cut through all barriers—physical, mental, and spiritual—in order to find community and acceptance. Along her journey, Icy faces the jeers of her classmates as well as the malevolence of her often-ignorant teachers—including Mrs. Stilton, one of the most evil fourth grade teachers ever created by a writer. Called willful by her teachers and "Frog Child" by her schoolmates, she is exiled from the schoolroom and sent to a children’s asylum where it is hoped that the roots of her mysterious behavior can be discovered. Here Icy learns about difference—her own and those who are even more scarred than she. Yet, it isn’t until Icy returns home that she really begins to flower, especially through her friendship with the eccentric and obese Miss Emily, who knows first-hand how it feels to be an outcast in this tightly knit Appalachian community. Under Miss Emily’s tutelage, Icy learns about life’s struggles and rewards, survives her first comical and heartbreaking misadventure with romance, discovers the healing power of her voice when she sings, and ultimately—takes her first steps back into the world. Gwyn Hyman Rubio’s Icy Sparks is a fresh, original, and completely redeeming novel about learning to overcome others’ ignorance and celebrate the differences that make each of us unique.
Download or read book Tiger Trails written by Darin M. Bush and published by Parkaire Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definition of Tourette's syndrome (TS) is really quite short: tics. If you want to get really wordy, in order to be more specific, try the following. Tics: lots, often, forever. So, I had a wacky idea. I would write a book that was one paragraph long. I was really aiming for one sentence, but it does not work out that way. Looks more like three sentences, to be fair. Even three sentences seem like a ridiculously thin book. What fills out most of the book is the explanation of the words in those three sentences. What gives us so much grief is not the definition, but the ramifications. What impact does TS have on your social life? Lots. Does TS affect your health? Absolutely. I run into questions like these, and a hundred others, all the time when explaining TS. After 20 years, I can predict fairly well the kinds of questions that will spring up out of answers to earlier questions. What you hold in your hand is my attempt to provide the first 90 minutes of the Tourette's conversation, and the questions people typically ask. However, we each pursue these questions in our own unique way. What is important to an employer may be radically different from what is important to a grandparent. So, instead of deciding for you what order these things go in, I wanted to let you decide. I patterned this book after a joy from my own formative years: the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series of books. In them, we flew to the moon, dug for pirate treasure, and rode in balloons and race cars. Those books told a single story 30 different ways. From the second or third page, you were master of your destiny. Failure or death were just as close as victory, riches, and fame. Basically, each decision led you to two or more answers to the motivating question, "What do you do?" or perhaps, "Which way do you turn?" The answer you picked pointed you to a page with more of the story.

Her new life takes an unexpected turn when she bonds with Connor, a classmate who also feels isolated because of his own disability, and they discover a room at Stagecoach Pass that holds bigger secrets than Aven ever could have imagined.

Book Synopsis Happily Ticked Off by : Andrea R. Frazer
Download or read book Happily Ticked Off written by Andrea R. Frazer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former Hollywood sitcom writer and funny girl Andrea R. Frazer thought she had it all: a hunky husband, two gorgeous kids, a house in the 'burbs . . . but when her son was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, a disorder that causes uncontrollable tics and twitches, her fantasy life imploded. Terrified, she feared he would bark, scream and curse in circle time. Turns out the only person who barked, screamed and cursed was Andrea, as she went head-to-head with this confusing condition. From diet to meds, shrinks to therapists, Frazer has written a no-holds-barred mom-moir about the realities of raising a kid on the spectrum. It isn't always pretty, but it's real, and if you're as scared as she was, clarity can look pretty darn gorgeous. Written with humor, transparency and most importantly, hope, it's Andrea's desire that this book will hold the hand of every special needs parent. "May it whisper in your ear, 'You did not cause this condition. Stop blaming yourself. You are not alone.' And while you're at it, eat a taco. Life is better with a little food. (Trust me on this one.)" ~ Andrea
Book Synopsis Aven Green Sleuthing Machine by : Dusti Bowling
Download or read book Aven Green Sleuthing Machine written by Dusti Bowling and published by Union Square & Co.. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Third-grader Aven Green has been solving mysteries for a really long time—a whole month! She’s solved many important cases like The Mystery of the Cranky Mom, The Mystery of the Missing Ice Cream, and The Mystery of the Smelly Feet. Her record is nearly 100% (only The Mystery of the Cereal in My Underpants remains unsolved to this day). Aven asks all the right questions, wields her detective kit carefully, and follows up on every clue. Then her teacher’s lunch bag (with her lunch still in it) is taken and Aven’s great-grandma’s beloved dog goes missing! Can this perceptive detective crack two cases at the same time? Luckily, Aven has a super-powered brain full of lots of extra brain cells to take on both cases. See, she was born without arms, so all of the cells that were supposed to make her arms went into making her brain instead. At least that’s her working theory for The Mystery of Why I Have So Many Extra Brain Cells.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This is why we read fiction at all” raves the Washington Post: Family life meets historical romance in this critically acclaimed, “gorgeous, sweeping novel” (Ms Magazine) about two people who find each other when abandoned by everyone else, marking the signal American debut of an award-winning writer who richly deserves her international acclaim. On the outskirts of a small town in Bengal, a family lives in solitude in their vast new house. Here, lives intertwine and unravel. A widower struggles with his love for an unmarried cousin. Bakul, a motherless daughter, runs wild with Mukunda, an orphan of unknown caste adopted by the family. Confined in a room at the top of the house, a matriarch goes slowly mad; her husband searches for its cause as he shapes and reshapes his garden. As Mukunda and Bakul grow, their intense closeness matures into something else, and Mukunda is banished to Calcutta. He prospers in the turbulent years after Partition, but his thoughts stay with his home, with Bakul, with all that he has lost—and he knows that he must return.
