My son has found this brilliant video on youtube - I'm going to pass it on as much as possible!
Russell Simmons Presents Brave New Voices - "Tourettes" by Devin
He says it describes how he feels a lot of the time. (might have to pass it to special needs dept at his school)
Enjoy
Hi Mary, I find it helps to write my blog in Word and copy and paste the links of any youtube vids or other websites, then when you copy and paste you finished blog post into the box the links will automatically come up. ( see the posts I've written with vids )
Catherine, that was like speaking a foreign language to me!! I'll set the boy onto it and he can show me.
youtube.com/watch?v=5eN_iXW... this is the link for the video. please watch it its very interesting and explains alot.. love dom (mary's son)
I think this is truely amazing, my daughter has tourettes she is 8 and very bright, she copes very well.
I'm a fan of slam poetry so had already decided to google 'tourette's slam poetry' and had found this, but it is brilliant. There's also a guy on youtube called Jonah Torn who has some poems about TS, and there's a young British rapper called Brent Zillwood who raps about TS sometimes, but I think you'd be better searching on myspace or just google for his stuff, I think.
