Plot & Summary
In this fact-based story, Brad Cohen has Tourette's Syndrome. This means he makes noises involuntarily, even in places like school, where he would be expected to behave.The movie is very insightful into living with such a difficult disorder. Most of Brad's experiences, particularly the childhood ones, are outright shocking. Brad's teachers are ignorant of his condition and intolerant, believing him to be willfully disruptive, he faces constant ostracism in public and ridicule from his classmates, one of his mother's acquaintances even recommends exorcism. Tourette's is so much more than just "those people who shout swear words". Brad is very upbeat, understanding people's discomfort and is eager to talk to them about his condition, letting them know that his tics are involuntary and only worsen when he is stressed (i.e. when people insist he stop making the noises or refuse to understand).
