I was excited to welcome a big group of friends to the go-karting track where I work this morning. Many of them have Tourettes and we’d never had the chance to meet up and race each other before.

All of us – children, parents, carers, and friends – have first-hand experience of living with Tourettes. We all enjoyed being together in this relaxed atmosphere. In spite of heavy rain, we all zipped about in the karts and had a real laugh.
