TIC TALK: LIVING WITH TOURETTE SYNDROME: A 9-Year-Old Boy's Story in His Own Words
Edition: 2nd printing.
Chandler, AZ: Little Five Star, (2007). SIGNED hardcover - Dylan Peters has lived with Tourette Syndrome more than half of his life. Only four years old when he was first diagnosed with TS, Dylan is now nine and ready to enter the fourth grade. For a long time, he wanted his family to keep his TS a secret, afraid that it would make him the object of ridicule among his classmates. "When I thought about it," he says, "I could see that things really could be a whole lot worse."With his family's and his teacher's support, Dylan decided to speak to his classmates about his TS. It went better than he ever could have hoped. The whole experience gave him the idea of writing a book for other kids with TS. What hes learned about tolerance and acceptance during those five years, most of us fail to learn in an entire lifetime. In his own words - often humorous, always insightful - Dylan helps others, young and old, understand Tourette Syndrome and the enormous pressures this little, mysterious affliction places on those who have it and on those who love them.

Square format. 50 pp. ISBN: 978-1589850514.
