October is a mega-month for our community and for the Tourette Association of America. Together we celebrate National Bullying Prevention Month, ADHD Awareness Month and OCD Awareness Week. I say celebrate because it is a wonderful thing that we can reflect on past struggles that have effected real and lasting change.

It is why we keep shining light on the important efforts of the TAA and our community partners so that everyone can feel supported and understood.
