In this episode, Michael Crosa shares his experience of suddenly developing Tourette's syndrome as a junior in high school.
He discusses the challenges of navigating this new reality, including having to explain his condition to teachers, classmates, and new people he met. Michael talks about initially seeing Tourette's as something that "happened to him" but later integrating it into his identity in a positive way through self-advocacy. He provides insights into common misconceptions about Tourette's and what has helped or hindered him during difficult periods.
Michael's openness reminds listeners to be curious rather than judgmental when encountering someone's behavior they don't understand.
