''The world is for everyone, and that includes us": Lessons and advice from a traveller with Tourette's

Tourette Syndrome is a neurological condition that causes a person to make involuntary movements or sounds. I've had tics since I was a child that have included throat-clearing, making noises, repeating words, blinking, winking, flexing my jaw or fingers, repetitive clicking and gasping for air. These tics were at their worst in my late teens, and then fluctuated between manageable and unmanageable in my early twenties.
