For families, the boundaries between Tourette and other behaviors are often blurry.

Faced with public and professional misunderstandings of Tourette in individuals, parents, like Ryan's are frequently confused, humiliated, discouraged, and, in this account, eventually hopeful. Though each parent also differs in their response to the presence of such a disorder, Susan Hughes' analogy of the family reaction to their son's problems as equivalent to grieving is well taken.

Fortunately, one message from this book is the importance of perseverance, and how a mother's efforts impacted on various school, mental health, and other pro mom. For every individual and family, the impact of the disorder is unique, and must be carefully appreciated.

Treatments provided in the absence of a strong partnership existing between parents and practitioners are likely to fall short.
