ADHD, Tics & Me! - A Story to Explain ADHD and Tic Disorders/Tourette Syndrome

Meet 9-year-old Jaime. Jaime has both ADHD and a tic disorder. Find out how these two conditions make him feel, how he was diagnosed, and how he has learnt to relieve his ADHD symptoms and minimise his tics. Jaime also explains how friends and adults can help at home and school. Other characters in the story share their unique experiences of ADHD, tics, or both, and the different ways the condition can present. The gentle reminder that others share these conditions helps children better understand ADHD and tics and increases self-esteem.
