Being a teacher, I am around many types of students with disabilities. One type of disability that often times is written off as a child misbehaving or trying to get attention is Tourette's Syndrome. People will mistake the ticks as controllable behavior, yet for most it can not be. It's part of who they are.

HBO and the Tourette's Syndrome Association put together a documentary from students talking about their experiences.

"I Have Tourette's, But Tourette's Doesn't Have Me"

This show is now showing on HBO Family and HBO on Demand. (Check your local listings.)

You can also get the DVD from the Tourette's Syndrome Association website. The DVD includes even more resources and teacher material.
