Adam Tourette Syndrome Awareness 2023

Become a Paid subscriber of the Adam Farris Podcast

Hi, My name is Adam Farris and I have Tourette Syndrome, But Tourette Syndrome does NOT have me.
I was diagnosed with #TouretteSyndrome at the age of 6, And I am 35 years old now. In my teenage years, my #Tourette was out of control. I had loud hooting and shouting noises.
When I asked my parents if I could go out to public places like movie theaters and restaurants, they said yes. Whenever someone asked me about the noises or made a rude comment, I would just explain to them that this is who I am and this is what I have. If they would like to go somewhere else, then they can, but I am staying here and enjoying myself.
Tourette Syndrome has affected me in many ways. One of my former doctors put me on a lot of high-dose anti-psychotic medications for a long time, which then made me like a zombie pretty much throughout the day. I was sleeping too much and was not able to concentrate because of the medications I was on. Eventually, this made my hands shake really badly. We switched doctors and my doctor now is really great!
I also work at a retail store here in Houston, Texas as a cashier. Sometimes you may see me struggling at work. I may ask someone to help me out with bagging or help me bag the breakable items. Please respect my request as this can be hard for me to accomplish due to my shakiness in my hands.
Having tics is a little bit like having hiccups. Even though you might not want to hiccup, your body does it anyway. Sometimes people can stop themselves from doing a certain tic for a while, but it’s hard. Eventually, the person has to do the tic. I have Tourette Syndrome, but Tourette Syndrome does not have me. ” – Adam Farris
FYI You Are Not Alone if you are an individual with Tourette syndrome, there are support groups and other similar groups that you can join. do not feel left out, and don't allow anyone to keep you isolated. please get out into the public, and go to restaurants and if someone makes a comment or a grimace just let them know that I have Tourette's and this is what is called, and that you cannot help it.
According to the CDC, https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/tourette/facts.html
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a condition of the nervous system. TS causes people to have “tics”.
Tics are sudden twitches, movements, or sounds that people do repeatedly. People who have tics cannot stop their body from doing these things. For example, a person might keep blinking over and over. Or, a person might make a grunting sound unwillingly.
Having tics is a little bit like having hiccups. Even though you might not want to hiccup, your body does it anyway. Sometimes people can stop themselves from doing a certain tic for a while, but it’s hard. Eventually, the person has to do the tic.
Ways to support and help out Tourette's and The TS Community:
1. Get Involved with the Tourette Syndrome Association of America https://tourette.org/get-involved/give-donate/
2. take the Tourette Syndrome pledge, To stop using Tourette Syndrome as a punchline. https://tourettepledge.org/
3. Join your local Tourette chapter https://tourette.org/resources/local-support/
4. Register to become a brain Bank donor as an individual with Tourette syndrome. And donate your brain whenever you pass away to research Tourette's https://tourette.org/about-tourette/overview/brain-bank-2/

World Autism Acceptance Month Houston Texas
4/25/2023
World Autism Acceptance Month will be held from April 1st to April 30th 2023. Adam Farris, autism advocate would like to thank Mayor Sylvester Turner, who over the years has dedicated his time and resources to speak with Adam Farris and work with Adam on achieving common ground for all individuals with Autism
Adam is an autism advocate, he does this not only to raise awareness of autism, but to bring awareness to others who have autism or other differing or unique abilities. If you are someone that has autism, you can go and get a job, you can go and get that degree you have been dreaming about, and do whatever you put your mind to. You just have to believe in yourself and meet your maximum potential.
About 1 in 36 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network
Autism Advocate Adam Farris has said, “Let us celebrate the abilities, not the disABILITIES of each individual with autism.”
There is no one way to be autistic — each individual with autism experiences it differently — but together, autistic individuals make up this world, they work and learn and can enjoy a life free of bullying and harassment. Today, we celebrate the achievements of all individuals with autism everywhere and champion the equal rights and dignity of all those living on the autism spectrum.
Adam Farris has prestigious accolades and awards from President Barack Obama and Mayor Sylvester Turner regarding Autism Awareness month.

Adam Farris Tourette Syndrome Story
7/2/2022
Hi my name is Adam Farris. I have Tourette Syndrome but Tourette Syndrome does not have me. I was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at the age of 6. And I am 33 years old now. In my teenage years my Tourette's was out of control. I had loud hooting and shouting noises. When I asked my parents if I could go out to public places and to movie theaters to dinner and restaurants they said yes.These noises are called tics. Whenever someone or a customer of a business for example ask me about the noises or made a rude comment I would just explain to them this is what I am and this is what I have. If they would like to go somewhere else than they can but I am staying here and enjoying my food or my movie. Tourette Syndrome has affected me in many ways. One of my former doctors put me on a lot of high-dose anti-psychotic medications for a long time which then made me like a zombie pretty much throughout the day. I was sleeping too much and was not able to concentrate because of the medications I was on. Eventually this made my hands shake really badly. We switched doctors and my doctor now is really great.! He helps me out with my shakiness in my arms and my head by giving me a very very small shot of Botox (yes the kind you get for wrinkles but not exactly) every three months. This has actually helped with the shakiness in my hands. I also work at a retail store here in Houston Texas as cashier. Sometimes you may see me struggling at work. I may ask you to help me out with bagging or help me bag the breakable items. Please respect my request as this can be hard for me to accomplish due to my shakiness in my hands.
