Introduction The reason I chose to do my research paper on this topic is because I know a family thathas a child with Tourette Syndrome (TS). I have known this child since she was six years old and her name is Alicia. I would like to explore some of the trials Alicia has faced and will face as she grows up with TS. What I know now is that Alicia was diagnosed at nine years …showed first 75 words of 3223 total…

…showed last 75 words of 3223 total…symptoms. Conclusion In this paper I have attempted to acquire some knowledge of Tourette’s Syndrome. After doing the research and reading countless studies of this disease, I feel I have accomplished this goal . I now have a better understanding of the disease and what lies ahead for Alicia and her family. Although there is no cure for Tourette’s Syndrome at this time, support, understanding and just being there will help this family tremendously.
