Customer Reviews

Truly the BEST book I have read about tourettes

This book was a lifesaver for me since my son was recently diagnosed with Tourettes. I bought several books, and this one is my absolute favorite & I highly recommend it!

Excellent read

This is a must read for people trying to understand Tourette's. It is an easy to read and understand book for people with little knowledge of the syndrome. The author shares her personal experience as well as facts about meds, treatment, symptoms, misdiagnosis, and learning to live with it.Very informative. A lot is packed into this one book.Highly recommended for people that either have TS or have a family member with it.

Helpful for parents or adults w/ TS

Miles from NY is mistaken when he says the author has 3 kids w/ TS, but doesn't have it herself. She does and mentions that in the beginning of the book. Because of her experience in having TS and then having children with it, she is helpful to walk readers through what to expect and how to head off problems before they exist. She also has a great deal of info for adults with TS...to tell or not tell at job interviews, socializing, and even living situations. A caring and careful job of communication on the issues facing those with TS or TS in their families.

A MUST-READ for the newly initiated TS family.

Mrs. Shimberg's candor and very readable style make you feel like you're not alone (and you're not!). A very wonderful treatment of a malady that is another aspect of the "human condition." Relax with this book and learn how to "flow with the go."
