S2 - Episode 15A - It's Worth Our Effort

12/14/18 • 58 min

In the first of a two-part season finale, we've got two special guests -- Tourette Association of America President and CEO Amanda Talty, followed by Matt Capriotti, a scientist whose research is furthering our understanding of TS and its impacts. Talty answers listener questions and talks about changes going at the Tourette Association to better support the TS community of all ages. Capriotti lays out findings from a recent study of life outcomes for people diagnosed with TS. This is massively interesting stuff with loads of points about people, awareness, and where we're headed.
