Author: Larry Barber

Sixty adults and children tell their intimate stories of Tourette syndrome, how it affects their lives and self-image and how, despite it all, they persevere with strength and hope. A resource guide for adults and children, moms and dads, An Unlikely Strength shares the challenges and successes of grappling with TS; it acknowledges heartbreak as it gives hope; it discusses the latest creative solutions to dealing with tics and behaviors; it explores the newest medical treatments. This book shares stories of suffering and exile, as well as stories about creating a fruitful and satisfying life. For individuals and families grappling with Tourette’s.

An Unlikely Strength shows what it’s like to be viewed by the “normal” world, and how Touretters have come to the powerful self-realization that Tourettes is not who they are—they are free to create themselves and follow their own true path.
