Tourette's Syndrome

I recently gave an interview about my experiences with Tourette's Syndrome (I have a rather mild case of the condition—so, no, I don't shout swear words), for a project being done by an acquaintance of mine. Today, I got to see the final videos. I'm realizing that there are things I've learned and experienced simply because of my Tourette's. I am grateful for it. I have learned to be patient, to improve, to be persistent, to be understanding of others, to relax, to focus, to endure well, and to find joy in the little things in life. I am grateful for the experiences I've had thus far because of Tourette's Syndrome.
