Hi,

My name is Devin & I have Tourette Syndrome. I am 8 years old. I started having tics when I was about 6. My first tic was throat clearing which I still have but now it is alot louder. I also sniff alot and rub my face. Sometimes I do it alot especially after gym. I got my Tourette from my dad  who has tourette too. I can still do everything that other kids can do. Sometimes having tourette makes me feel really sad and sometimes my classmates make fun of me. I am kind of getting use to it though, and just ignore them. I take medicine twice a day which I had to learn to swallow. I can swallow the very easy now. At first the medicine made me very tired, but now I am use to it. I take piano lessons, kickboxing and violin. I like to dance and listen to music, and I love swimming. I want to learn to help other kids that have tourette so they wont be sad. I am the only one at my school that has tourette so its kind of scary and I am sure there are other kids out there that feel the same. If you are a kid like me and have tourette you can email me at cafdevin@gmail.com if you want to talk. Also I love playing

Webkinz and my username is cafdevin1999 if you want to be friends. Ok Bye
