Hi: I have Tourettes and know that lots of people in my support group have real problems with joining in on the festivities this time of year. They think they have to stay away from any outdoor or crowded places because cruel people will laugh and point. I used to think that way too. But now, and maybe it’s because I’m an “old lady”, I just don’t care anymore. I know that’s easy to say, and sure it took me years to get like this. If you have the same issues this is what I did: first year, just went to my son’s Christmas play, his school’s small and place where most people have met me and known I have Tourettes. Next year, went to a bigger, more public event and a bit more each year. Why not give it a try? I hope this helps your holiday to be even just a bit more fesstive than usual!
