You have just seen a fragment of "Front of the Class", a film released in 2008 that is based on the story of Brad Cohen. These five minutes will help you get a quick idea of how Tourette Syndrome manifests, which we were talking about here.
My thanks go to the Twitter account @NoInvisibles, because it was a tweet they shared, which helped me discover this disease. And with that said I tell you that Brad Cohen suffered misunderstanding and humiliation due to ignorance (when not ignorance) by those around him. But even in a difficult situation, it is possible to overcome, it is enough for someone to get involved, and lend us a hand, even in a timely manner. And that's what the director of one of the schools that Brad (as a child) went to did.
With the intervention that recreates the scene of the film, everyone won: Brad understanding others, others the possibility of shedding prejudices and relating to someone very special (despite its normality).
Brad became a teacher over the years, although he had to conduct 25 job interviews to achieve his goal. The misunderstanding again, only this time, she ran into a very strong opponent: a young man eager to continue to improve himself and help others.
From the little I have seen (I will try to find the movie for the whole visionary) the actor who represents Brad child, looks flawless in his role
I don't need to tell you, that normality or are we all or is it a kind of non-existent place because each one is different from the others.
Finally comment that the film had preceded a book, and that Brad directs a Tourette Syndrome Awareness Foundation.
