Fabulous Posts to Come! 10/06/2008

This forum was inspired by the huge response I got over at BabyCenter on my Tics and Food Allergies post. Stay tuned for more posts like the one at the link.

Even if your child does not have tics or Tourettes (there is a difference) you can still learn how to feed your child healthy. We'll be a virtual kitchen of gluten free, dairy free, hormone and artificial flavoring/coloring foodtopia. Stay tuned!

TICKED OFF: TOURETTES TALK

"When You Can't Fix the Tics, Fix Yourself"

Consider this is your 12-Step Tourettes Support Group where we will encourage each other to:

1. Accept the tics we cannot change

2. Change the tics we can

3. And have the wisdom to know the difference.

ABOUT ME
My son, Stink, was diagnosed with mild Tourettes when he was 4. I was terrifed he would curse, shriek, scream and hump busses.

Quite the opposite, he is highly creative, social and thriving.

I keep his tics at a minimum through a gluten free/caesin free diet.

While I haven't eliminated his tics altogether, I'm eliminating fear through a good dose of humor and acceptance.

I hope you'll join me so we can support each other on this crazy journey. Welcome to Ticked Off.

I write weekly for the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome blog. Come visit me, and other awesome parents, for some daily support!
