*The Last 3 years Samuels World Update*

After a harrowing year in 2006/7 we finally managed to get a Statement of Educational Needs for Samuel but alas it did not give us enough funding for extra help in a mainstream school all the time and Samuel’s Tourettes became much worse resulting in horrendous tic attacks, often very painful ones which meant Samuel had to come home from school many times.

Horsham Tourette Syndrome Group

For those of you who are local to Horsham and surrounding villages in West Sussex I would like to set up a new Tourettes group in Horsham which I hope to run once a month preferably in the morning one day in the week.

My immense thanks to the West Sussex County Times for promoting this website by way of an article written in a caring and supportive manner!

A MOTHER whose son has Tourette Syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Asperger Syndrome and obsessive behaviour disorder, is running a support website for other families at www.samuelsworld.co.uk.

What is Tourette Syndrome ??

Samuel’s Tourettes

an insect

In a nutshell Tourettes at first to Samuel was a bug that had somehow got into his body and this bug was what was making him twitch and move!

In just over a year now Sam is still trying to cope with these sudden movements that happen nearly every minute of every day and for Samuel it is a scary world and frustrating causing many tears.
