For the past 17 months, TSA has been working with producers of the ABC News
program, �?oPrimetime�?� on an episode that features young adults with
Tourette Syndrome. We have just received word that the special will air on
Tuesday, July 15 at 10:00 pm on ABC.

The hour-long program profiles four teenage girls (together with their
families) and focuses on the emotional impact and both the triumphs and
challenges of living with TS. Also included will be commentary from
Jonathan Mink, M.D., Ph.D., Co-Chair of the TSA Scientific Advisory Board
and Associate Professor of Neurology and Chief, Child Neurology, at the
University of Rochester Medical Center; and Jerome Bubrick, Ph.D., Clinical
Instructor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the NYU School of Medicine,
who conducts a habit reversal therapy session with a boy with TS.
Following is the promotional blurb from ABC: Jay Schadler goes deep inside
the world of children who live with Tourette Syndrome. As the families
document scenes of the daily life traumas in video diaries, they reveal the
hope at the heart of a mystery disorder that has no known cause or cure.
As always, we are hopeful that the program will be a responsible, accurate
and sensitive representation of the disorder and of the young people who so
bravely shared their personal struggles and stories to educate, raise
awareness and reduce the stigma associated with TS.
