It’s Thursday, team meeting day at work. Both the team manager and consultant were away so my boss’s boss, the head of CAMHS, came down to chair the meeting. I mentioned him a couple of weeks ago when he’d pulled me up for whistling at an away-day.

After the meeting he asked to speak to me. He apologised whole-heartedly for what had happened that day and said he’d felt bad afterwards. He went on to say he hoped he hadn’t embarrassed or upset me. I told him he hadn’t and that thanks to Tourettes I’m not easily embarrassed.
