Those people compromised with Tourette's disease, but I would never give up.

I am 21 years old, female.
As a patient with Tourette's disease, I must have the courage to watch this movie.
When I first saw it, I felt really uncomfortable. In reality, I have not been in contact with other patients with Tourette's disease. This is the first time I have seen "patients" other than myself.
That kind of feeling, as the actor said when he stepped into the church's mutual aid group: "It turns out I am like this in the eyes of others."

Every detail in the film affects my memory.
I was told once that this disease will naturally get better.
That kind of ridicule, that kind of ridicule, the feeling of being disliked and ridiculed by peers, really only when you have experienced it will you really understand it.
The protagonist's father didn't understand it at first, which was extremely distressing.
I am very fortunate that I have a family that has understood, supported and encouraged me from beginning to end.
Without friends, family is the strongest backing for patients with Tourette's disease.
The heartbroken close-ups of the male protagonist's parents made me burst into tears in an instant.
I still remember the scene where my mother hid in the room and cried quietly on her 12th birthday, so that I could not find it.

I'm glad I was born in a good environment, and I'm glad I survived all the way.

Front of the Class quotes

  • Recruiter: What made you decide to go into teaching?

    Brad Cohen: It's all I've ever wanted to do. I feel like I was born to teach.

  • Brad Cohen: Maybe we should talk about the elephant.

    Recruiter: Elephant?

    Brad Cohen: In the room: my Tourette's.

    Recruiter: No. The Americans with Disabilities Act doesn't allow me to ask you...

    Brad Cohen: I know, but I'd like to tell you just like I tell the kids in my classes. See, I explain to them that it's a brain thing that causes me to make strange noises, they're like sneezes, irrepressible. When you have to, you have to.

    Recruiter: How do they react?

    Brad Cohen: Once they understand, they're fine with it. It's never caused any problems in a classroom.
