Meet Jessica, Touretteshero. Jessica has Tourettes Syndrome, which means she has verbal and physical tics over which she has no control. Jessica swears, shes one of about 10% of people with Tourettes who do. She says biscuit 16 times per minute (thats about 6 million a year!), and theres the sometimes life threatening arm and leg tics. These excerpts from Jesss blog follow a year in her life and the whole spectrum of her experiences. We are introduced to her support network of close friends including Fat Sister, Leftwing Idiot and King Russell, and also to the ignorant people who try to drag her down. Moving, funny and shocking Jessicas words are courageous and optimistic in the face of the problems she faces. Welcome to Biscuit Land.
