It’s , and we’re excited to share something new.

🎧✨We’re launching a new series of short audio discussions - honest, accessible conversations about Tourette syndrome featuring Dr Ed Palmer and Ione Georgakis from Tourettes Action.

First in the series: Common Misconceptions

https://soundcloud.com/neurodivergence-wales/tourettes-common-misconceptions

In this short discussion, Dr Ed and Ione unpack some of the myths that still shape public understanding of Tourette’s, including why Tourette’s is not “the swearing condition” for most people, and why visible tics are often only the tip of the iceberg.

This also connects powerfully with Tourettes Action's campaign, which asks people to pause and think before reacting. People with Tourette’s cannot choose or control their tics, but all of us can choose how we respond. With empathy, kindness and understanding, we can help challenge stigma.

22/05/2026

Mae hi’n ac rydym ni’n edrych ymlaen at rannu rhywbeth newydd efo chi.

🎧✨ Rydym ni’n lansio cyfres newydd o sgyrsiau sain byr – sgyrsiau gonest a hygyrch am syndrom Tourette gyda Dr Ed Palmer ac Ione Georgakis o Tourettes Action.

Y sgwrs gyntaf: Camsyniadau Cyffredin

https://soundcloud.com/neurodivergence-wales/tourettes-common-misconceptions

Yn y sgwrs fer hon mae Dr Ed ac Ione yn chwalu’r mythau sy’n dal yn siapio dealltwriaeth y cyhoedd o syndrom Tourette, yn cynnwys pam nad yw syndrom Tourette yn “gyflwr rhegi” i’r rhan fwyaf o bobl a pham mai ticiau gweladwy yw pigyn y rhewfryn.

Mae hyn hefyd yn cysylltu’n bwerus ag ymgyrch / Tourettes Action, sy’n ceisio gofyn i bobl oedi a meddwl cyn ymateb. Dydi pobl efo syndrom Tourette ddim yn gallu dewis na rheoli eu ticiau, ond gall pob un ohonom ni ddewis sut rydym ni’n ymateb. Gydag empathi, caredigrwydd a dealltwriaeth gallwn herio’r stigma.
