Tourette's

Life can be difficult when you’re different. There might be support groups online but it’s just not the same as meeting in person. So what would happen if strangers with the same condition, turned up at the door of someone in need and spent the next few days sharing their experiences? Could being one of the crowd for just a few days help them change the way the live their lives forever? In this new series, three young people living with three different conditions are about to find out. Keen artist Terrina developed Tourette’s in her final year at uni and has never met anyone with her condition. Without her boyfriend or family at her side she is anxious to leave the house, making her feel like a prisoner in her own home. She is joined by a group of strangers who all have Tourette’s, but unlike Terrina, are more accepting of their condition and getting on with their lives. Feeling like she can just be herself for the first time since developing the condition, Terrina begins the challenging journey of accepting Tourette’s and getting her life back. As they each begin to trigger each other’s tics it won’t be easy, but will spending time with people just like her help Terrina build the confidence to step outside alone?
