I have a nephew with Tourette's Syndrome. He wanted to be a pilot and he is a brilliant person....but he could not be a pilot because of the Tourette's. He had a really tough time growing up. Luckily, my aunt and uncle had him diagnosed and on medication early and they always let his teachers and friends, etc. know about the condition. Now he is some type of computer engineer, married to a beautiful girl and they have a sweet child. I REALLY want to see the movie.
