I Have Tourette's, Get Over It

Published on Nov 9, 2015
In this brave and touching talk, Analise and Robyn argue for Tourette's to be recognised as a disability, and for treatment to be made available accordingly.
When Analise Twemlow was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome in 2013, her mother Robyn sprang into action, forming the Tourette’s Association New Zealand - of which she is now executive director - and Camp Twitch, a national gathering for Kiwis with Tourette’s. 11-year-old Analise is also a powerful advocate for the rights of people with Tourette’s, speaking at a Grand Round Lecture at Christchurch Public Hospital and appearing on multiple TV programmes.
