Me And My Tourette's: Motivated by GOD
Why is Tourette Syndrome Important To Me:
I am an African American Man who has Tourette Syndrome and has had TS for approximately 20+ years. I live in Tennessee, but I am originally from the Northeast.
I am trying to increase people's awareness in the African American Community, as well as other minority, and non-minorities who do not know about Tourette Syndrome.
I have written a book which is published by http://www.iuniverse.com/ and the title of the book is "Me And My Tourette's: Motivated By GOD."
"Me And My Tourette's: Motivated By GOD" is also available at 25,000 online and offline bookstores including Barnes and Noble. (If "Me & My Tourette's: Motivated By GOD" is not available at your favorite bookstore, then you can ask the store manager or store clerk to order it and they will)
Me And My Tourette's: Motivated by GOD
Even, if you do not have Tourette Syndrome, do not know of someone who has Tourette Syndrome, "Me And My Tourette's: Motivated By GOD" can give you encouragement in overcoming some of your obstacles.
I have also done two internet radio show interviews as well, and you can go to my myspace page and listen to both of those interviews.
"Me And My Tourette's: Motivated By GOD", was written not only for people who have Tourette Syndrome, but it was also written to for those who need some motivation, inspiration, encouragement, in still faith, when and if no one else will, help, believe, and push you to succeed!
Me And My Tourette's Motivated By God will hopefully increase the public's awareness and shed new light which most people do not know about Tourette Syndrome.
Most people always associate Tourette Syndrome with swearing (curse words) which is not always the case. People who have Tourette Syndrome do not always swear or use derogatory words, as this is on a case by case basis.
My tics are vocal, and sometimes sounds like a continuous hiccup. They can be loud and are uncontrollable.
I wrote "Me And My Tourette's: Motivated By GOD" because people who have Tourette Syndrome are usually discriminated against from people, associates who you may meet on a day to day basis, family, churches, school, in the workplace, having a place to live, in the general public eyes, etc.
We are people with feelings too, and we are normal just like anyone else and can do anything just like anyone else. The difference between me and you is that people with Tourette Syndrome have involuntary vocal tics as well as involuntary movements of different parts of the body. We want to be accepted, we want to be loved, we want to be a family and to have a family. We want to have friends, we want to go to church, we want to go to school, we want to go to work and we also want a decent place to live as well, including enjoying our lives!
We also want to be accepted as decent and kind human beings! There are people that have Tourette Syndrome, but are not aware that they may have it. Or, they might know of someone that does have it. As well as in the African American Community, other minorities and non-minority groups who do not know anything about Tourette Syndrome.
If you have any questions, and/or would like to interview me for any speaking engagements, interviews, stories, photos, book signings, etc., please feel free to contact me. (Serious inquiries only) MylesW27@gmail.com
