DIFFERENT has been endorsed by The Tourette Association of America and by the Brad Cohen Tourette Foundation. Here is what they had to say:

“Being able to see the world through the eyes of someone with Tourette Syndrome is often difficult. Day in and day out we hear from families struggling with Tourette and everything that comes with it: bullying, ostracization, and intolerance. But we also hear stories of strength, bravery, and kindness. I applaud Different for bringing light to this misunderstood neurological condition and personifying the challenges our community overcomes while educating and encouraging compassion. The author does a great job of showing that the term ‘different’ can be used in many ways, and not just as a negative connotation.”
Amanda Talty
President and CEO, Tourette Association of America

“Growing up, I never wanted to be ‘different.’ But then I realized that was just me. I learned early in life that being ‘different’ wasn’t always a bad thing, it was just my new normal. The book Different helps others embrace their own challenges in hopes that everyone can be a better person in the long run. Living with Tourette Syndrome is never easy, but knowing others around you understand where you’re coming from sure makes life a lot easier to manage. Different reminds us all to embrace our challenges and celebrate the ways we are all ‘different.’”
Brad Cohen
Educator, Author, Speaker, and President of the Brad Cohen Tourette Foundation

Very exciting times for me. Hope you all get a chance to read about a young girl who overcomes the challenges of living with Tourette Syndrome and comes to the conclusion that we're all "different" in a way.
