Brad Cohen's Story--Front of the Class



This is so very inspirational. I've watched this movie in HBO before, but I'd like to watch it again and again. It introduces me what Tourette Syndrome is. If you see a person that has Tourette Syndrome, DON'T laugh at him/her, just understand it's hard to have a tourette syndrome. People may have tic disorders, with the more common tics of eye blinking, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, and facial movements. People with Tourette's have normal life expectancy and intelligence. We should give more understanding!
