Book review (Tictionary) and important advice for parents of rage-prone children
As requested, some recommended reading in the form of a book called ‘Tictionary: A Reference Guide to the World of Tourette Syndrome, Asperger Syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for Parents and Professionals’ by Becky Ottinger.
The second half of the video is some important advice to all parents and carers of any children who suffer from rage attacks. I speak from experience as the sufferer. (When I say ‘for the rest of their lives,’ from my own personal experience I obviously can only say ‘for many years’ but it has had a deep impact on my and keeps haunting me when I feel really down.
Sorry the lighting isn’t very good and that my head is half cut off!
None of my videos are for sympathy, just for education.
This is not a comedy. If you are looking for something to laugh at, please go elsewhere.
If you have any (polite, respectful, genuine, mature) questions, please go ahead and ask and I’ll do my best to try and answer them for you

wow, that sounds like a great book. i’d love to read it, i’ll check that out some time.
True, i totally agree with u. a parent needs to try their hardest to respond positively, showing unconditional love, and not to let their own short-term feelings and frustration about the situation get in the way.
nice video, thank you so much for sharing.

Yet another informative video. You asked earlier what we’d like to see - I’d like more of this. What you would advise parents to do or not do, and how you arrived at that advice. I want to be my son’s number one support and resource regarding his currently mild, but obviously inherited, tics. Thanks for being so open and sharing what you discover with the rest of us so we can go find out more.

I love your videos! I was so excited to see a new one up!
Thanks for the reading suggestion, I’ll add it to my book list!
And I think it’s really important that more parents get education on how to deal with children with any condition that can be challenging. I wish more people got that message out, of not making comments like that. I think it’s great that you’re talking about that, too.
