This remarkable story is about Ethan, a 13-year-old boy who was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome when he was a very young child. He suffers from vocal and motor tics. As he grew, faced teasing and bullying in school. Many people don’t understand Tourette’s Syndrome causes a loss of movement and word control. Ethan’s heart is very big and loving. His journey to Alaska was originally only for fun, but then he told his family it would be a great chance to really discover who he is as a young man diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome. This video is a chance for Ethan to share his story with children and adults who are misdiagnosed and feel alone in the world. Many people with Tourette’s believe they have no one who truly understands. There are only a few documentaries about children living with Tourette’s Syndrome, and they have little to no information about the daily struggle for the individual or the family. Hollywood has placed a stigma on Tourette’s Syndrome, which manifests itself in many forms.
