The Tourette Tiger,
aka Darin M. Bush,
has worked with the Tourette’s syndrome community in various roles for twenty years. He has tutored, lectured, taught classes, run workshops, led panels, and facilitated support groups. He has worked with the Tourette’s associations of the United States and Canada. He also has Tourette’s, OCD, and ADHD. He tries to write books, about Tourette’s and other subjects, from his home in Atlanta, Georgia, where he spends his mild-mannered time working on computers.
Tiger Trails is a wonderful introduction to the vocabulary used with TS+, a short hand term for Tourette syndrome plus everything that can go with it, e.g., Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and ADHD. As Darin states in the preface, these are “the words for the first 90 minutes of the TS conversation” after the diagnosis.

“This is great. A light hearted look into the brain of a person with Tourette’s. A must read for every parent. A magnificent insight into the thinking of a person with TS.” “A Trail to Remember!”

“In Tiger Trails, Darin Bush engagingly captures his readers and takes them inside the experience of living with Tourette’s syndrome and its associated disorders (TS+). By sharing his experiences, parents will gain greater awareness of what TS+ is like from the inside.”

“As Darin states in the preface, these are “the words for the first 90 minutes of the TS conversation” after the diagnosis. Tiger Trails is a simple guide to the definitions of this new, and sometimes confusing, vocabulary that surrounds our children, their parents, and their teachers.”
