    Fréttabréf maí 2008 ========================================================= Opið hús miðvikudagskvöldið 14. maí n.k. kl. 20, Hátúni 10b í kaffiteríunni á jarðhæð Við sem fórum á neðangreinda ráðstefnu ætlum að segja frá henni á opna húsinu og sýna þau gögn sem við fengum. Við höfum fjölfaldað eitthvað af þeim blöðungum og bæklingum sem lágu frammi eða dreift var á ráðstefnunni og svo fólk getið fengið eintök af þeim. Landsþing bandarísku Tourette-samtakanna var haldið í byrjun apríl Um alllangt skeið hafa Tourette-samtökin sent fulltrúa á þing þetta, sem haldið er annað hvert ár, en árið 2006 fór þó enginn frá okkur. Nú fóru þrír úr stjórninni, einn unglingur með Tourette, og einn fylgifiskur. Ráðstefnan var haldin í Alexandria, rétt utan við Washington, eins og undanfarin skipti og stóð frá 4. til 6. apríl. Ráðstefnunni var skipt upp í fjórar línur eftir því hverju erindin tengdust: læknisfræðilegar upplýsingar og hegðunarlegar; menntunarlegar upplýsingar og lagalegar; lína fyrir fullorðna og ungt fólk með Tourette; og lína fyrir unglinga. Margir vel menntaðir og virtir fyrirlesarar voru með erindi, margir þeirra með TS sjálfir og aðrir ekki. Heiti erinda voru til dæmis: Nýjungar varðandi meðferðir kækja og tengdra raskana Þegar áhyggjur mínar verða of miklar! Að komast gegnum unglingsárin og líta fram á við Stjórnun á hvatvísi og reiði – fyrir foreldra barna með TS og tengdar raskanir Menntunarmöguleikar Að eiga við vinnumarkaðinn TS í fjölmiðlum Að fást við erfiðar aðstæður í skóla TS og fjölskyldulíf – einstæðir foreldrar,

  • The School and Social Experiences of Tourette Syndrome Through The
    The School and Social Experiences of Tourette Syndrome through the First-Person Perspective of Youth: A Theatre-Based Approach to Community-Based Research by Alan D. Jeans A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education Department of Secondary Education University of Alberta © Alan D. Jeans, 2016 ii Abstract Tourette Syndrome Plus (TS+) is a “neuropsychiatric or brain-based condition that causes people who have it to make involuntary sounds or movements called tics” (Tourette Canada, n. d., para. 1). Individuals with TS+ may also have a number of associated disorders such as OCD, ADHD, and Anxiety Disorder. Community-based research and popular theatre activities were used in this research to explore social and educational issues that may arise for youth with TS+ aged 14-15. The topic of TS+ is viewed through social models of disability and utilizes a transformative worldview. This research explores the role of theatre in building self-advocacy skills, increasing self-confidence, and/or improving upon socialization skills for youth with TS+. Youth with TS+ participated in weekly theatre sessions to create a script that demonstrated their experiences with TS+. This script was performed to an audience of TS+ community members, as well as members of the University of Alberta community. The collaboratively created script, titled “Ditched,” follows the character of Thomas as he engages with the notions of bullying, popularity, and exclusion. This research found that youth with TS+ may carry with them internalized loneliness, guilt, and/or shame for having TS+. These internalized feelings may manifest in youths’ withdrawal from social situations, and may also impact youths’ self-confidence and their ability to self-advocate.

Tourette Syndrome is an inherited neurological condition. It affects one schoolchild in every hundred and more than 300,000 children and adults in the UK. The key feature is tics – involuntary and uncontrollable sounds and movements. It is a complex condition and covers an extraordinarily wide spectrum. People may have a very mild form of Tourette Syndrome (TS). They and those close to them may not even be aware that they have TS. At the other end of the scale, medical symptoms are extreme and the social, educational and economic effects are serious. These are the examples that generate media interest.

A fragment of normal behavior that occurs quickly and in isolation, but more repetitive and less variable Not voluntary and they are not involuntary, they are “unvoluntary” Can be easily described/reproduced by observers Wax and wane, and can be suppressed at least temporarily OHSU Feels like an itch that has to be scratched or a sneeze that is hard to suppress The tic itself is often not as much of a problem as the comorbidities… 4 Tics versus Stereotypic Movements Tics: generally ego dystonic, most have a premonitory sensation and while they can be suppressed, tension exists when the tic is not released Stereotypies: ego syntonic, (though kids can become embarrassed by them), and suppression of the stereotypy does not cause as much tension OHSU Hand flapping,

    YOU SAY LEMON, I SAY LEMONADE: THE IMPACT OF ATTITUDE WHEN DEALING WITH DISORDER by Bruce Duncan McKinlay A research project presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the research project requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Psychology Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 1998 ©Bruce Duncan McKinlay 1998 1 Abstract 49 children (M age 12.6) with Tourette’s syndrome (TS), their parents, and their non-affected siblings were interviewed to establish whether each viewed TS as unchangeable, uncontrollable, and beyond the responsibility of the individual with TS (i.e. whether they were entity theorists), or whether they saw their disorder as malleable, manageable, and as something the individual with TS should be accountable for (i.e. whether they were incremental theorists). It was found that TS’ers with an entity view suffered from lower self- esteem, felt more helpless, and had worse sibling interactions than did those who held incremental views towards TS. All family members agreed that TS’ers should be held less responsible for tics than for associated symptoms (anger/rage, impulsivity), but overall there was little agreement on attitude towards TS. Disorder severity did not predict attitude towards the disorder, and one’s own attitude towards the disorder predicted fathers’ relationship satisfaction, but not mothers’. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada and all of its members for supporting this project. In particular, the Toronto chapter membership actively solicited participants from its ranks for this endeavor, and the TSFC Main Office provided photocopying resources for questionnaires, and interview materials.

She loves to tell people that she lost her arms in an alligator wrestling match, or a wildfire in Tanzania, but the truth is she was born without them. And when her parents take a job running Stagecoach Pass, a rundown western theme park in Arizona, Aven moves with them across the country knowing that she’ll have to answer the question over and over again.
