A teenager with Tourette's Syndrome who has such severe physical tics he once gave himself concussion is trying to pursue his dream career in the music industry.
Josh, a 17 year-old who lives in Wirral, took part in a new TV documentary focusing on how people with Tourette’s can become more accepted in the workplace. Entitled The Teacher with Tourette’s, the Channel 5 programme is presented by Natalie Davidson, who teaches at a Birmingham school.
Natalie is the only teacher in the UK with coprolalia, a rare form of Tourette Syndrome that causes her to swear. In the documentary, she visited Josh, who has extreme physical tics.
