"You think it, we ink it."

Michael G. DeFilippo



Michael is a Technical Writer who was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome in 1998. He has experienced so much ignorance about Tourette syndrome that he contacted fellow Touretters to help with a project to educate the public about this disorder.

His first book, Getting Personal, Stories of Life with Tourette Syndrome, contains twenty-two personal stories written by people living with Tourette syndrome, including his own personal account.
