Thank you for visiting the TAA to learn more about Tourette Syndrome and other Tic Disorders and to help us raise awareness all year long, and especially during Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month which occurs from May 15 to June 15. On this page, you’ll find tons of information about resources, tools, events, and more that you can use to advance TS and Tic Disorder awareness.
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is part of a spectrum of hereditary, childhood-onset, neurodevelopmental conditions referred to as Tic Disorders. These conditions affect both children and adults, and cause sudden, uncontrollable movements and/or sounds called tics. TS and tics can be emotionally, physically, and socially debilitating. Learn more about TS and other Tic Disorders, here.
Donations aren’t the only way you can support the TAA to grow our impact! We encourage you to browse our fundraiser page to find ways to raise money for our community or donate to help us continue to raise awareness.
We have a ton of exciting incentives this year for donors and fundraisers during TS Awareness Month, including new, exclusive TS Awareness Month merch options, and even tickets to the 2026 TAA Gala! Learn more about how to get started.
Sharing your lived experience with TS or another Tic Disorder in your own words is valuable and helps others feel less alone and more understood. Not only does the world need to hear your story, our community wants to hear from you, too. Read stories from others in the TS and Tic Disorder community and submit your own on MyTourette.
Submit a Take Action Letter, which is a pre-populated virtual letter that helps you advocate for the most pressing public policy issues that impact our community.
