Books and writing about Tourette’s, from lived experience

These Tourette reading resources bring together books, stories and personal accounts written from lived experience.

You will not find diagnoses, treatment protocols or absolute truths. Instead, you will find personal voices and glimpses of life with tics, co-occurring conditions, judgement and misunderstanding. Each account reflects the complexity that often comes with Tourette’s.

The featured books and linked editions are in Italian. For more perspectives in English, explore our articles and podcast.
