FOR YOUNG WITH TOURETTE´S SYNDROME
In some cases, young people affected by TS may be reluctant to join organizations, associations or groups with other people with the same pathology, it may cost them a little to break that barrier to socialize or get involved in activities that have to do with the problems and difficulties with which they are forced to face in their daily lives.
A young person with Tourette Syndrome can stand out in several aspects, such as: Creativity, since, in some cases they have great artistic or musical abilities and this makes them able to express themselves in a unique and particular way. Empathy, the fact of battling every day with this disorder can lead them to be more understanding and supportive. Their experience also allows them to have a broader and more valuable insight into mental health and diversity issues. Resilience, because of their personal experience they can develop great strength and competence to overcome challenges.
FOR MEMBERS OF SOCIAL ENTITIES
These are volunteers, monitors, youth technicians and members of social entities (associations, NGOs…) whose main objective is to create inclusive environments and facilitate the social integration of young people with barriers.
