for the Tourette Syndrome and Human Behavior Genes
Uk
Can
by David
E., MD Comings "Dr. Comings tells the story of his 18 years of involvement
with Tourette syndrome, from both the level of treating thousands
of patients with this common and complex disorder, to his clinical,
genetic and molecular genetic research. He quickly realized this
was more than just a tic disorder. His patients and their relatives
had problems with a wide range of behaviors including attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD0, obsessive compulsive behaviors,
conduct and oppositional defiant disorder, rages, mania, depression,
anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, sexual, sleep, and other disorders.
Because Tourette syndrome is genetic, this involvement with a spectrum
of disorders had broad implications about the causes of behaviors
that most mental health workers attributed to psychological problems,
poor parenting, or learned behaviors. His genetic studies led him
to eventually conclude that Tourette syndrome was a polygenic disorder
caused by the coming together from both parents of a number of genes
affecting dopamine, serotonin and other brain chemical. Dr. Comings
relates how the concept that many human behavioral disorders were
genetically interrelated was initially ridiculed. These attitudes
began to change as other reported similar findings and as his concept
gained support from molecular genetic studies of specific genes."

 Children
With Tourette Syndrome : A Parent's Guide (Special Needs Collection)
Uk
Can
by Tracy Haerle (Editor), Jim Eisenreich "My 8-year-old son has
ADHD, OCD and tic disorders (though not full-blown Tourette Syndrome).
This book was an enormous help for me in understanding the tic disorder
and also the ADHD and OCD which often co-occur with TS and tic disorders.
It is written in a very easy to read, friendly, compassionate way.
There is a lot of clear advice here. TS is complex and often misunderstood.
The book helps you cope with and understand many of the related
problems. It teaches acceptance, dealing with friends, relatives,
schools, etc. It is a very thorough book. After reading it, I felt
less helpless and more empowered to deal with these issues. The
book talks about the importance of acknowledging your child's frustrations
and feelings, which will help him to learn to share them more directly
with you. For example, saying, "I know you're trying really hard,
and it's frustrating when the other students can't seem to understand
that you can't stop doing certain things." This book helps you to
also empower your child, and to embrace what is special about him.
It says, "If you believe in your child as an individual whose Tourette
syndrome is only one aspect of her total being, your child will
also be more likely to see herself as someone with abilities, rather
than disabilities." I strongly recommend this book. It will help."

 Living
With Tourette Syndrome
Uk
Can
by Elaine Fantle Shimberg, Elaine
Shapiro (Introduction) "Miles from NY is mistaken when he says the
author has 3 kids w/ TS, but doesn't have it herself. She does and
mentions that in the beginning of the book. Because of her experience
in having TS and then having children with it, she is helpful to
walk readers through what to expect and how to head off problems
before they exist. She also has a great deal of info for adults
with TS...to tell or not tell at job interviews, socializing, and
even living situations. A caring and careful job of communication
on the issues facing those with TS or TS in their families."
