Did you know that Tourette Syndrome is something you are born with? It's passed down through your family's genes much like hair or eye color. 🧬 The exact cause is still unknown, but we do know it can come from any branch of the family tree, not necessarily your parents.

This , let's keep learning and keep supporting those who live with TS every day.

There is currently no cure for Tourette Syndrome, but that doesn't mean there's no hope! Medications, meditation, sports, and other activities can help manage symptoms even if they can't make them disappear completely. Researchers are still working hard, and we're grateful for every step forward.

If you have TS, what advice would you give someone else for managing their symptoms?

We had the opportunity to participate in recent Dare to Dream Student Leadership Conferences at William Paterson University of New Jersey, Ramapo College of New Jersey, Rutgers University, Rowan University, and Stockton University.

Throughout the spring, the New Jersey Department of Education Office of Special Education is hosts 7 regional Dare to Dream Student Leadership conferences that highlight strategies to promote self-advocacy skills for middle and high school students with disabilities.

Attendees heard from inspiring student speakers, like our own Sofia, Ryder, Emily, Aravella, and Jocelyn, and joined workshops on self-advocacy, IEP leadership, and knowing your rights in college and the workplace.

Here's something really important to understand: tics are involuntary.

That means the person with Tourette Syndrome is not doing it on purpose. Their brain simply sends the signal and it happens without thought or choice. Please remember this the next time you see someone with TS.
