My tics are like that friend who crashes on your couch. He eats all your food, he breaks your favorite guitar and he embarrasses you in front of every girl you meet. You wake up 11 years later, and he’s still there. – Trevor Smith Eighteen-year-old Trevor Smith is ruled by thousands of tics, constant movements that batter his body and disrupt his day.

https://tourette.org/the-importance-of-telehealth/

For patients with Tourette Syndrome (TS) and Tic Disorders, it can be difficult to find specialists and many drive hours or travel lengthy distances for physician visits. This is especially true in rural areas. The ability to conduct medical appointments/evaluations through a computer or electronic platform via telehealth could reduce leave from work and travel costs.
