Tourettes documentaries

 There's quite a lot of documentaries on Tourettes but a lot of them is just mainly focused on people with coprolalia which isn't fair. The best one I watched was called Tourettes and Me (I think that's what it was called) which was focusing on different teenagers in America that had Tourettes and each suffered differently with it. It made me cry but it was really good.
