Summary: Meet Jamie, a young boy with ADHD and a tic disorder called Tourette Syndrome. He`s not being fidgety or naughty - he really can`t help it! Jamie explains how he was diagnosed and what having tics and ADHD is like for him. He also shares how he has learnt to relieve his ADHD symptoms, minimise his tics, and how friends and adults can help at home and school. Jamie explains how it can be really tricky to tell whether your fidgeting comes from having ADHD, tics, or both! Jamie and his friends who attend the after-school tic club learn about each other by sharing their experiences of ADHD and tics at home and at school.
