Dylan Peters has lived with Tourette Syndrome more than half of his young life. Only four years old when he was first diagnosed with TS, Dylan is now nine and ready to enter the fourth grade. What he’s learned about tolerance and acceptance during those five years, most of us fail to learn in an entire lifetime. In his own words—often humorous, always insightful—Dylan helps others, young and old, understand Tourette Syndrome and the enormous pressures this little, mysterious affliction places on those who have it and on those who love them. Illustrated by Dylan’s friend, Zachary Wendland.

In Tic Talk: Living with Tourette Syndrome, Dylan Peters shares what he learned of tolerance and acceptance during the first five years with Tourette Syndrome. In a style that is often humorous and always insightful, Dylan helps others, young and old, understand TS and the enormous pressures this little-understood affliction places on those who have it and on those who love them. Dylan Peters was only four years old when he was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. Over the five years since, he's battled the fears and insecurities that come from having this often misunderstood affliction. Dylan is both an inquisitive young man and a gifted writer. What he shares with readers will help us all understand not only Tourette Syndrome, but also to be more accepting of all people. Dylan has given the world a most valuable look into his world. We are all the wiser and more compassionate for it. Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that affects approximately one in 1,000 children, most often between the ages of six and nine. It's a gift to have such a youngster as Dylan be willing and able to convey to the rest of us just what his life is like. Whether he intended to or not, Dylan's message of acceptance for those with Tourette Syndrome is equally applicable to others we encounter who may be facing entirely different problems. Such is the wisdom of this young man. Dylan chose his friend, Zachary Wendland, to be the illustrator for his book. Zachary's drawings convey a similarly deep understanding of acceptance and tolerance for others.
