Intro from one of our founding members Dottie

Why TLC? Everyone needs and deserves tender loving care. Why not use these initial to say Tourette's Lifelong Care. That is what people who experience this condition need and deserve. A group is needed to welcome all affected by Tourette syndrome. A group where lifelong friendships are made. A group which is not restricted by geographical distance, which is in the interests of all, regardless of social standing, or academic status. The aim of this group should be to empower each other and work with people's strengths but also to be deliberately non- higherarchical. Dorothy Achenbach (Dottie)
