0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains very strong language.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07They didn't tell me what to expect, cos I didn't know about Tourette's.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10I kind of... Jack O'Hara! Fuck!
0:00:10 > 0:00:14I kind of thought it was just people swearing and that.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Just like most people do. But it's really not.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Rory Brown has Tourette's syndrome -
0:00:26 > 0:00:31a genetic neurological condition that causes involuntary tics...
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Fuck!
0:00:32 > 0:00:33..and verbal outbursts.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36HE MOANS
0:00:36 > 0:00:39It's a very weird feeling, and you can't stop it.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Ah! Ah!
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Like Rory...
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Fuck!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46..John Davidson and Greg Storey have grown up with Tourette's.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Fucking idiot! Prick!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52They have been filmed since childhood.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53HE BLOWS A RASPBERRY
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Ah!
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Tourette's can be at its most extreme during teenage years.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Let's go!
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Run away!
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Fuck!
0:01:05 > 0:01:06One, two, three, four...
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Now Greg...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Rory Johnson!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11..and John are going to help Rory...
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Fuck yous, you bunch of wankers! - Shh.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17..face the reality of living life with Tourette's.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I don't want any other kid to have to go through what I went through.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Ah!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35It's flipping freezing, mate.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37FUCKING FREEZING!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39The big fat wanker!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41My arse cheeks are very cold.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Paedophile!
0:01:45 > 0:01:4812-year-old Rory Brown was first diagnosed
0:01:48 > 0:01:50with Tourette's syndrome in 2014.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Hi, Miss Dunham.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Hey! Taking the piss out of George is funny!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Dylan's a fag! Filthy fag!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Rory, why don't you...?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Sean's a fat bastard!
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Hey!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Fuck off!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Rory has just started secondary school.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Since moving from primary... - Fuck!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19..his tics have intensified.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Fuck off!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Well, I'm ticcing quite a lot in class. And, um...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Hey! Um... Fuck!
0:02:27 > 0:02:28HE HOOTS
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I'm ticcing a lot in class
0:02:33 > 0:02:38and shouting lots of stuff about other people. Um... Ah!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Fuck! Skinny prick!
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Sorry.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I'm a wank stain!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46'There's lots of weird ones,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49'shouting out weird phrases and stuff.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51'Kangaroo semen!'
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Well, I obviously go and say sorry to them.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I mean, if I can't catch them, I feel really bad.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59And I hope people know that I don't really mean it.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And I can't help it, so...
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- What's an essay?- Like a long story.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12That's a good one. Is that someone jumping in a swimming pool?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Gemma Gilroy, Rory's principal teacher in pupil support,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20gives him one-to-one lessons when the classroom gets too much.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22We're going to look at the iPad.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26You've got an iPad because what keeps happening?
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Oh.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29What we need to do with the paper, Rory?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33We need to move it away.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Literally about three and a half weeks of him being here,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39it was just like an explosion. The lid...
0:03:39 > 0:03:42It was like the lid had come off and for him...
0:03:42 > 0:03:44it was terrifying.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46You know, because his Tourette's was changing.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49And, for us, it was like, "Wow!"
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- What colour?- It's white.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Not everyone's allowed to be white, Rory, cos you don't want...- Racist!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57What colour do you want him to be?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59'The worst-case scenario would be
0:03:59 > 0:04:01'that he isn't getting education that he deserves.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05'And what Rory does is he comes
0:04:05 > 0:04:08'and he tries really, really, really hard, and he's a bright boy.'
0:04:08 > 0:04:10You're a mean old fart!
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Sorry.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16'We are learning about Tourette's as Rory's learning about Tourette's.'
0:04:16 > 0:04:18And we are learning with him.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22And it's terrifying for everybody, because we can't predict this.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25We don't know what it's going to look like on an everyday situation.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27But what we do know are the things that trigger it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29So if we can keep him calm,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32if we can keep him interested in what he's doing,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34that all makes the difference.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36BUZZER RINGS
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So you have English.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Listen. If it doesn't work out in class, what are you going to do?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- A shite!- What are you going to do?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46A shite.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47And a piss.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49And have diarrhoea.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Um, come back here.- Yes, you are.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53OK. Good to know.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Tourette's is often at its worst during adolescence.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Shot the motherfucker!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Donald Trump is a prick!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04John Davidson is now 45
0:05:04 > 0:05:09but, at 16, he too struggled with the ferocity of his Tourette's.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Fuck!
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Hey!
0:05:13 > 0:05:18My mum sucks fucking muckle huge, black dick!
0:05:18 > 0:05:19I've got rabies!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24John has been helping others with Tourette's in his local area.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27He has recently started meeting with Rory.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29'You know, he was really struggling in school,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33'and I'm going to help him make the right decisions.'
0:05:33 > 0:05:36You know, to make his life in school a little bit easier.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Fuck off!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41John has been the subject of three documentaries.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42When he was first filmed,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45he was struggling with life at secondary school.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Hey! Fuck!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50When I first started at school,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I was getting teased a lot because I blinked.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55And then, from then on...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59..I never used to want to go to school. I just...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Because of getting teased.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Cunt! Fuck!
0:06:02 > 0:06:03And, um...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06People just look at me and give me a funny look.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09They used to always come after me and shout things and that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12And I knew instantly, as soon as I'd start speaking to them,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16they'd just laugh or say, "Oh, aye."
0:06:16 > 0:06:18You know?
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Believe you.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Oh, you done it again!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Hey! Hey, fucking fat John, off he goes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- You're shit!- I'll fall over!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Hey, look at them pair of paedos.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Having fun?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37A few weeks ago, it started being really bad at school
0:06:37 > 0:06:40and I was taken out of loads of classes.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Sent down to my pupil support and that.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46People think I'm a mong!
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Hey! John, you sit at home, having a pokey-wokey bum wank!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01You're a fat cunt!
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Everyone laughing really puts me off going into school.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11And I don't think they really understand how much it affects me
0:07:11 > 0:07:13when I get sent out.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- TEENAGE JOHN:- 'Sometimes I just feel like everyone hates you.'
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Fucking...
0:07:20 > 0:07:24'Just because I've got this, I just like everyone hates you...
0:07:24 > 0:07:28'I just feel like killing myself or something like that, you know?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29'Feels so bad.'
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Fuck off! Cunt!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- ADULT JOHN:- 'Your schooldays are supposed to be
0:07:40 > 0:07:42'the happiest of your life.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47'I believe that, you know,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50'the way that things went for me at an early stage,
0:07:50 > 0:07:55'it gave me doubts about things, doubts about who I was as a person.'
0:07:55 > 0:07:58No child should have to go through that.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03And if I can help others get through that period in their life,
0:08:03 > 0:08:07on their journey, then I'll do it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09God fuck the Queen!
0:08:09 > 0:08:12God didnae fuck the Queen!
0:08:12 > 0:08:14You fucked the Queen!
0:08:14 > 0:08:15You twat!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17YOU'RE a twat!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19'For Rory, going to school at the moment,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21'it must feel like Groundhog Day.'
0:08:21 > 0:08:24He's not got anything really to look forward to.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I can put my arm round Rory and say,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31"It's all right, kid. I've got your back."
0:08:35 > 0:08:37GREG SCREECHES
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- GREG'S MUM:- OK.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's all right.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44All right.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45OK?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47HE SCREECHES
0:08:47 > 0:08:50HE CRIES
0:08:50 > 0:08:54In 1999, Greg Storey's parents started a video diary
0:08:54 > 0:08:56to record the onset of his tics.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Why is this not helping?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Nothing is helping.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04We'll not give up trying, though, will we? We'll find something...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06HE CRIES
0:09:08 > 0:09:09You going again?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- ADULT GREG:- 'Tourette's is a curse.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16'It really feels like it when you're little, and I've been through it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21'The absolute hell and the rejection by people and...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23'That can break people.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27'But your Tourette's can be a blessing as well.'
0:09:27 > 0:09:31If you learn how to harness what the output of the Tourette's is,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34to use it for different things in your life,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37you will find you can excel at things you never thought you could.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Greg is now 23.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48He was first diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome
0:09:48 > 0:09:49at the age of six.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I just remember the absolute hell I went through,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54not just at a young age when I was diagnosed,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56but in secondary school, in college.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58The amount of bullying I received...
0:10:00 > 0:10:03If I'd have told myself that I would be doing
0:10:03 > 0:10:04all of the stuff I am now,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I think my younger self would have told me to sod off.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09GREG SCREECHES
0:10:11 > 0:10:13SCREECHING CONTINUES
0:10:16 > 0:10:17At the age of eight,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Greg was unable to control or manage his tics.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23GREG SCREECHES
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- TEACHER:- All right, then.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It felt like my head...
0:10:29 > 0:10:35Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh...
0:10:35 > 0:10:40was bulging with pain and was... But...
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And the pain was starting from my little head
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and going to the edges of the room.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48And it really hurt.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54At school, Greg discovered that music provided relief from his tics.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- INTERVIEWER:- Where are we going now? - Up there.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- For what?- My cornet lesson.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Shall we go do my cornet lesson? Cos it will be starting.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06So we'll have to get my cornet.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Here we go, then. Let's have some Es. After three. One...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- GREG TOOTS - (Hang on.)
0:11:13 > 0:11:16One, two, three.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19CLASS PLAYS "E"
0:11:20 > 0:11:23When he played an instrument, his tics vanished.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27In his teens, Greg took up the drums.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40When I drum, I have total relief from my Tourette's.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43So I thought, "How can I replicate that mentally?"
0:11:43 > 0:11:48I'd learned that, if I was able to imagine myself drumming,
0:11:48 > 0:11:49I had this relief.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It came to the point where I could bring on this...
0:11:56 > 0:11:59what I call the drumming state of mind
0:11:59 > 0:12:02and have, at the back of my head - here, I imagine it -
0:12:02 > 0:12:04me just sat there, playing away.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12And then I am able to just go about my daily routine.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You know, for me, that's incredible.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I mean, I've learned to harness my Tourette's.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I've learnt to conquer it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I can walk down the street and I'm not shouting, "Chicken!"
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I'm not shouting some dead baby joke.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Greg seems to have got a good grasp on his tics.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Some people have got an amazing ability to suppress.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Others, like myself...
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Pfft, almost next to no ability to suppress, you know?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Fuck you!
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Pfft!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Somebody smells like shite!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47John and Gemma are working together to increase understanding
0:12:47 > 0:12:50of Rory's Tourette's in the local community.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- So where is the police station about? This way?- Yeah.- Straight up?
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Johnny Davidson!
0:12:56 > 0:13:00This morning, they're taking Rory to meet the police.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- GEMMA:- 'Hopefully, doing the work that we're doing with him,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05'the community will understand this condition
0:13:05 > 0:13:06'and they'll know who he is.'
0:13:06 > 0:13:10You know, that's our aim, is that he can live his life here,
0:13:10 > 0:13:15and wherever else he needs to be, as best possible.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19It'll be interesting for the Jedburgh community this morning.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Hey! Fuck!
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Oh, Christ... It's Mrs Nagel-bagel. Fuck!
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Hello? Could I speak to the duty officer, please?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36As a child, John had trouble with the police
0:13:36 > 0:13:38because of his Tourette's.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41My son was approached in the street by a police officer,
0:13:41 > 0:13:46who swore at him because my son had used foul language.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48No, he won't hurt anybody.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50FUCK OFF!
0:13:50 > 0:13:52HEY! (Oh, God.)
0:13:52 > 0:13:54HE SIGHS
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- You can have a seat, John, it's fine.- Yeah, John.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Hello, Rory. How are you doing?
0:13:59 > 0:14:00- Good, thanks. - Oh, it's cold, isn't it?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I'll sit on the coffee table.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- LAUGHING:- You can sit on the coffee table, that's fine.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07You sit on the coffee table, then, you fat cunt. You might break it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Ah!- Oh, sorry! You all right? Sorry. You all right?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Rory's parents have come along in support.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16And so has John's adopted mum, Dotty.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Don't take me away! I didn't do it!
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I raped somebody's mum!
0:14:21 > 0:14:22- God's sake.- Right.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I've never met you before, so I'll introduce myself,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27and just do wee round of introductions, if you want.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Where did your eyebrows go?
0:14:29 > 0:14:30THEY LAUGH
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I don't know.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I'm Gina Dixon, I'm the Locality Officer for the school,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37so I work quite closely with Gemma.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40And we thought it would be a good idea to obviously meet Rory.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Well, I'm Tom Quinn, I'm the Community Sergeant...
0:14:42 > 0:14:44That's fascinating, isn't it?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I work with Gina and that just means I can tell the rest of
0:14:46 > 0:14:49my community officers so we can look out and speak to Rory on the street.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Bunch of wankers! I'm Rory and I'm a wank stain!
0:14:53 > 0:14:55HE HOOTS
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Previously, when I was younger, I didnae have any of this.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I never had the opportunity to explain and, you know,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03try and make my life a little bit easier in the community.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- And that's basically what we're trying to do for Rory.- Wank!
0:15:05 > 0:15:09On a daily basis, apart fae the swearing, what kind of things...?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Why don't you talk about that?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- RORY:- I might accidentally wank someone off!
0:15:14 > 0:15:16RORY BLOWS WHISTLE
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- GEMMA:- It's about people becoming so aware of him in his community.- Yes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Everything that we are doing, in terms of through school, is about
0:15:22 > 0:15:25educating the people in the school but also the place that he lives in.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27You know, and there's stress,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30so the moment that happens, we see more tics.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31- Mm-hm.- But it's just about...
0:15:31 > 0:15:33And the other thing that's really important
0:15:33 > 0:15:35is Rory's tics are quite suggestible,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38so if we talk about certain things, he will start ticcing those things.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Wank, wank, wank! Ticcing those things.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41If we talk about John,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- he may tic some of John's tics. - Johnny Davidson!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45So, when he's out in the community, if people are saying to him,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47"Go and do this, go and do that,"
0:15:47 > 0:15:51you know, it's quite likely that his tics will answer that.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- But they dinnae have any control over these tics either.- Yep.
0:15:54 > 0:16:00That's what people don't understand. So, it is alarming.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It can offend quite a lot of people.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07With Tourette's, people say, well, what can I expect?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Spit it oot, Johnny, ya wank face!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11JOHN SPITS
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Expect the unexpected.- Mm-hm.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16If it sounds really vulgar, it's going to be a tic.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19It's actually the last thing that you want.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Fuck the police!
0:16:20 > 0:16:23They're looking at everything and picking it up and that's when
0:16:23 > 0:16:25they'll pick up on somebody that's overweight.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Yeah.- Or they'll pick up on...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Fat bastard! Fat bastard! Fat bastard!
0:16:29 > 0:16:31What's the word I'm looking for?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34For something that somebody's sensitive about. And it'll come out.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37They don't want it to, but it will come out.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Ugly weirdo! Fat bastard! - And that's the suggestive part.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44When you see the police, when you see us, what do you think?
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Oh, fuck! Don't arrest me! I promise it wasn't me!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I didn't do anything wrong!
0:16:52 > 0:16:57It's also good for Rory's confidence and his, you know,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00different anxieties he has, being out in the community,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02to know that he's got the support of the police.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05And that you guys have got the support of Mum and Dad.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I can get away with murder!
0:17:07 > 0:17:10And the school as well. And it's about working as a team.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Doing this is about the police knowing him but, also,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- he needs to make the right choices in the community.- Absolutely.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19And it's just about reinforcing that for him as well.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24And we can't move away from the fact that he is 12. And he's...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Miss Gilroy doesn't have any sense of humour.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32That's why she's laughing at that. She's a fuckin' Hibee fuck-face!
0:17:32 > 0:17:33- Wank stain!- Anyway...
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- JOHN:- You should never have told him you were a Hibs fan.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- GINA:- I'd just like to thank yous all for coming in.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Did Rory compile any questions, do you know?
0:17:41 > 0:17:46No, I didn't. Why have you got so small eyebrows?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Have you got any questions about this, Rory?- Not really.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- JOHN:- Have you got any worries
0:17:50 > 0:17:52about when you're out and about in the community?
0:17:52 > 0:17:57Don't arrest me if I rape someone. It's an accident.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- GEMMA:- Thank you, Gina. Thank you so much.- Not a problem.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03You're welcome, Miss Gilroy, ya old bat!
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Oh!
0:18:07 > 0:18:13I do think he struggles with the things that come out his mouth,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15you know, and he doesn't mean it.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19He doesn't... he genuinely doesn't mean it.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- Let's go! Run away!- Get back in there with that, you monkey!
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Do you know that's an offence to nick a police hat?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Oh, no, I'm so scared, ya fanny-face!
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- All right, ya pair of wank stains? - Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36'People will argue, "Oh, but they said it, they obviously mean it."
0:18:36 > 0:18:38'It's come into their head.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40'They didn't ask for it to come into their head.'
0:18:40 > 0:18:44When he sees things, we can filter that information out,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46he can't do that, so it's out.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50And I do think, like, he gets embarrassed about it.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53He doesn't...he doesn't want to be hurting people's feelings.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Pakistanis and Iraqis!
0:18:56 > 0:18:59It's interesting when you see John and Rory together.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02The initial is, like, they'll just tic off each other's tics.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06But then they calm down and John has a huge influence on Rory.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Rory!
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Is Rory here?
0:19:09 > 0:19:14John regularly gives Rory advice on how to deal with his Tourette's.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16What about, like, other pupils?
0:19:16 > 0:19:20You've not had anybody, like, take the mickey or anything like that?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- A few times.- A few times.- But it's not like, nothing is done to...
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Not nasty?- Yeah, nothing's done... It's just everyone laughing.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Yeah, yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I used to get angry with people that...they would say,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33"Oh, I don't understand, just get away, I cannae be bothered with it."
0:19:33 > 0:19:35And it's like, I used to think, you know,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38it's not that you don't understand, it's sometimes it's more like...
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- You can't be bothered understanding, ya bastard!- Exactly.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Words right out my mouth, pal.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47I think sometimes people can't be bothered to take the time
0:19:47 > 0:19:51to try and understand, which is...rubbish, sometimes, but...
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- You've got a receding hairline. - I have.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I've got a V, I've got a widow's peak.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Freckle on your speckle!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Do you feel confident enough to be able to explain to people...
0:20:03 > 0:20:07If someone was to turn round and, you know, keep looking,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10would you be confident enough to say, what would you say to them?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- If it happens, I just say, "Sorry, I've got Tourette's."- Good.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Sometimes I'll hit people
0:20:14 > 0:20:17or I'll shout nasty things but I really don't mean it.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20That's really good that you've got the confidence to do that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Cos, I mean, I know a lot of people with Tourette's,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24and sometimes adults as well,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26they find it really difficult, you know, to explain to people,
0:20:26 > 0:20:31without getting angry or upset and it's like, you know, in a way,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- there's no point in getting angry, really, is there?- Nah!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- RORY LAUGHS - Tight build-up of pressure...
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Shit, shit! Cunt! Fuck, fuck, fuck!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Shit, shit, shit! - ..in your chest. And...- Hello there!
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Then, see after you've had a tic like that, how do you feel?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- A bit better. - Because it's got out? Aye.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55If I suppress them, it builds up in here.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58It feels like really big stress.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01And then I have to let it out at home,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04which gives my dad and my mum quite a hard time.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Erm, so, that's quite bad.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15GREG SCREECHES
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Like Rory, Greg also had an explosion of tics
0:21:17 > 0:21:18at secondary school.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21GREG SCREECHES
0:21:21 > 0:21:24The next lesson, you can make a note of that in your planners,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27distance time graphs, velocity time graphs...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29GREG SCREECHES
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I can have up to 1,000 a day. 1,000 or more a day, on average.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36And that's on, in a sense, a good day.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Let's have your cards held up quickly, please.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Ready, Steady, Cook!- Right, good, Matthew. It is false.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Can you tell us why? - Cook! Ready, Steady, Cook!
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Greg did well at school. He's graduated from university
0:21:48 > 0:21:51and is living away from home in Stoke-on-Trent.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The way that my converter works
0:21:54 > 0:21:56is it learns from repeat calculations...
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Greg has recently started his own business.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04It's mainly based around very high-level tech and software
0:22:04 > 0:22:06and the main piece of software that we're looking at,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08at the moment, is something I invented
0:22:08 > 0:22:10that actually improves the speed of computers.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14And we're looking, you know, to start selling it and pushing it
0:22:14 > 0:22:17out into the market, if we possibly can.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Greg has created the software based on a language of symbols
0:22:21 > 0:22:23that he came up with as a child.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28The language allows me to perceive computing code in different ways.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33And now, it's allowed me to do things in computers that,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36you know, most people can't do with normal code.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37He invented the language
0:22:37 > 0:22:41as a way of communicating with his own Tourette's.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I started this back when I was little,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45when I was first diagnosed with the Tourette's.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Being bullied and being called a freak and insane
0:22:48 > 0:22:53and, you know what kids are like, really, really hurt me.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57So, I started to come up with this way of communicating with myself
0:22:57 > 0:22:59in what I found was my own language.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03It's quite interesting how the Tourette's inspired that
0:23:03 > 0:23:07and the Tourette's created that through its own
0:23:07 > 0:23:12almost malicious intent of trying to destroy my life at an early age!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14That's how I feel it did.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17And it's now come back to change my life totally.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Greg is in London for a key meeting to try to get investment in
0:23:23 > 0:23:24his software business.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28It's sometimes overwhelming and I do get stressed about it,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31I do tic before going into these meetings.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34But realising when a tic is coming and increasing that strategy,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38mentally thinking, "Right, OK, let's improve that drumbeat, let's try
0:23:38 > 0:23:43"and make it as close to physically doing it, mentally, as possible."
0:23:44 > 0:23:47So why don't you just start off with just like an intro
0:23:47 > 0:23:48into sort of what you're doing,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51what you've invented and what you're intending to do with it?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53So, it's actually using the current hardware
0:23:53 > 0:23:54that you have to the full...
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- its full capabilities.- Yeah, yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00So, but you're obviously storing quite a lot of stuff in cache,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I mean, does that mean that you're using more memory than
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- a conventional approach?- No. - So, why's that?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- GREG COUGHS - Excuse me. This is...
0:24:08 > 0:24:11This is where the, it gets rather complicated. So, I...
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Could you do a simple version? - Yeah, I'm going to try to!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I created a symbol language, it's based on emotions.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21There are 145 emotions, each emotion has a 26-letter calc, alphabet.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25You add that all up, that's 3,770 symbols.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30The rule of the alphabets is you can combine one and one other
0:24:30 > 0:24:33symbol only, to create a composite emotion,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36so you could feel angry and sad at the same time, etc.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40That makes 14,212,900 possible symbols.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42All right, I think I vaguely understand that.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45So, from a business perspective, where do you think you can take
0:24:45 > 0:24:48this over the next year or so, in terms of...?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Well, really, we need to build a team, a bigger team of coders.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55From our calculations, what we think we need to make this succeed,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58if we were to function for a year on our current estimates,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- it's about 1.2 million.- OK.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04'My ambitions for the business are really to change the world.'
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I want to one day, people look back on me, when I'm dead and gone,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09and say, "Wow," you know,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11"we're still using something that he invented."
0:25:15 > 0:25:18It's a bit of a different start to the year and I'm really
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- excited about it.- Good morning!
0:25:20 > 0:25:22And I'm delighted that John Davidson
0:25:22 > 0:25:25has agreed to come along this morning.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28John's done an absolutely outstanding amount of work in
0:25:28 > 0:25:30raising awareness of Tourette's and, you know,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33when the first documentary came to screens, people weren't...
0:25:33 > 0:25:36John's talking to all the staff at Jedburgh Grammar to ensure
0:25:36 > 0:25:40that Rory is included in every aspect of school life.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I don't often go into schools unless I'm doing Tourette's input
0:25:43 > 0:25:48but every time I come into a school, my stomach churns,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51simply because of
0:25:51 > 0:25:55some of the things that went on for me at school, the way I was treated.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Your school life should be the happiest years of your life
0:25:58 > 0:26:02but, unfortunately, for me, it was the worst years of my life.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Nobody knew how to make it right for me, so in the end,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09the education system gave up.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12'When I was at school, I didn't have any respect from anybody.'
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I didn't have any understanding.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18But now, it's almost like I've reversed that role.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20And I'm now in a position to teach the teachers.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23One key thing when you have Tourette's syndrome is,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26"I feel different."
0:26:26 > 0:26:30And it's about us as adults, us as teachers and peers,
0:26:30 > 0:26:35to make Rory feel that he is just like everybody else.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39'It makes me feel very proud of what I've achieved in my life up to now.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41'For so long, I didn't know who I was,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44'I didn't know what my purpose in life was.'
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I finally kind of clicked, "This is what I want to do,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48"I want to go and help people."
0:26:48 > 0:26:51He will develop, he will enjoy being at school and I'm quite
0:26:51 > 0:26:54confident that, for a start,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58you guys sitting listening to me today, are committed
0:26:58 > 0:27:02to making this lad's school life as easy
0:27:02 > 0:27:06and as beneficial as you possibly can.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10And that he is part of what you have here at Jedburgh Grammar.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14It's really nice to have someone that supportive of me.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Fuck, shit, balls!
0:27:16 > 0:27:18And he's been really supportive.
0:27:18 > 0:27:24Hi, Rory, are you all right, son? This is the hero. Man of the moment!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Eh? You all right?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Growing up can be hard for everyone -
0:27:31 > 0:27:33we've all obviously been through it -
0:27:33 > 0:27:36but for Greg Storey, our next guest, it's been a real challenge...
0:27:36 > 0:27:39In the search for new investment,
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Greg's been asked in to Radio Stoke to talk about his new business.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46And he was told by his teachers that he'd never amount to anything.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Oh, ho-ho! How wrong they were! - They were very wrong.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Greg is with us now in the studio.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52- Hello, Greg.- Hello!
0:27:52 > 0:27:55When people told you things like that,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57how do you feel about that now?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Do you feel as though, in a way, that that pushed you on?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It definitely pushed me to do what I do now.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05You now have your own company with a partner, don't you?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08The business is expanding quite rapidly.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Are we all going to be working on computers, then,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13that you've helped to speed up, in the future?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16That...that would be the preference!
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I haven't noticed you tic at all.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21For a man with Tourette's, you're letting us down. To be honest!
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- GREG LAUGHS - I mean, the reason
0:28:23 > 0:28:24I'm not ticcing now is I...
0:28:24 > 0:28:27imagine myself drumming.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32So, like, at the moment, I'm playing a very heavy rock song in my head.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- Seriously? - You're drumming right now, then?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Yeah, I could tell you exactly what bar I'm on.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40But it has allowed me to think on other levels as well.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42'The problem comes down to people saying,
0:28:42 > 0:28:45'you cope with it so well, are you sure it hasn't just gone away?'
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I can't just say, "OK, well, give me a minute, I'll stop what I'm doing
0:28:48 > 0:28:50"mentally and have been doing mentally for years."
0:28:50 > 0:28:55If I do that, my Tourette's comes back in full swing within,
0:28:55 > 0:28:57you know, an hour or so.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59It really is like turning off a switch.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07GREG SCREECHES
0:29:08 > 0:29:11'People turn around and say, "Well, your Tourette's has faded,"
0:29:11 > 0:29:13'or, "You never had Tourette's in the first place."
0:29:13 > 0:29:15"That's not a real thing," I've heard that before.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17"Tourette's isn't a real thing."
0:29:19 > 0:29:22GREG WHOOPS
0:29:22 > 0:29:25There's lots of things that they call me and that, I mean,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28they say I'm a faker.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32I don't think they've really understood.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34I think they thought I was just making it all up.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39Which, really, I didn't...feel very good about, but...
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Hey! Fuck off!
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Good morning!
0:29:53 > 0:29:54John works as the caretaker
0:29:54 > 0:29:57at the Langlee Community Centre in Galashiels.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Get up!
0:29:59 > 0:30:01He's worked there since he was 21.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Get it packed away in your pocket before you lose it.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Put it in your pocket.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07Fucking hard.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09HE SHOUTS
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Gie us a kiss.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Piss off! Liam, you prick.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Pardon me.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Watch your manners now.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Shut up, you echoing git.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26I've got a boyfriend called Susan Gibson.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28HE SHOUTS
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Since 2002, John's organised a camp.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Later today, 30 people with Tourette's syndrome
0:30:34 > 0:30:38and their families will be coming to the centre for the weekend.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Martin McShagger.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Hey!
0:30:42 > 0:30:45'It's almost like, inadvertently, I've dedicated my life to helping
0:30:45 > 0:30:47'other people with Tourette's.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48'It's just something that I love to do.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51'It makes me feel really, really good.'
0:30:54 > 0:30:56SHOUTING
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Your mam's got fleas.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04I keep telling her, if she shaved her bush, she wouldn't have.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09The families are all staying under one roof.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11SHOUTING
0:31:13 > 0:31:15On John's advice,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Rory's parents have brought him to Tourette camp.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25He's never been around so many people with Tourette's at once.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27He probably will cope fine.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31He will feel totally at home, he'll be more relaxed.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Take control of yourself, boy.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Hey, get your glasses off!
0:31:36 > 0:31:39BARKING
0:31:39 > 0:31:44One ticcer sets off other tics. It's almost like a domino effect.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45HE BARKS
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Kill the dog!
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Put it out of its misery.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Greg Storey!
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- How are you doing, mate? - I'm good, you?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Good to see you, buddy. You all right?- Yeah.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Greg last came to Galashiels at the age of 11.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02It's brilliant to see you. You're looking well.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04I remember the last time I was here, I was...
0:32:04 > 0:32:08You were a boy, and you're a man now,
0:32:08 > 0:32:09with a ginger beard.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- You must have the ginger gene. - Oh, don't...
0:32:11 > 0:32:13I've got the ginger gene as well but mine's going a bit grey now.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15SHOUTING
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Right, everyone, sit on your arse!
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Over the weekend, John has organised a series of social events
0:32:25 > 0:32:27and Tourette-based workshops.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31No matter. I'm not getting stressed, I'm not stressed.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33MAN SHOUTS
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Olly-olly-olly, tits on your trolley!
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Johnny.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40I'm a pest.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43I'm a sex pest. I'm a paedophile.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Right, first of all,
0:32:45 > 0:32:49I'd like to welcome you all to Galashiels today, this weekend.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52First off, I need to go through some of the housekeeping stuff.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56First and foremost, the most important one is fire safety.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57PEOPLE CALL OUT
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- We've all signed in.- Cock.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03If you hear the fire alarm going off at any time...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05MAN HOOTS LIKE FIRE ALARM
0:33:05 > 0:33:08..you make your way out the nearest fire exit
0:33:08 > 0:33:10and you make your way to the big car park
0:33:10 > 0:33:13in the front of the building, all right?
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- The workshops this morning will consist of...- Fuck off.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18..photography...
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Pornography!
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- For the kids, we're planning to take...- Paedophile.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27..all the kids down
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- to give children... - A wank.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32..kind of like an army assault course-type experience.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- We'll be there for two hours. - Ooh.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40For the drumming workshop, when we leave here, you follow Greg.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Greg, can you stand up so we can all see?
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- Greg.- All right? - Chicken Boy! Chicken Boy!
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- Get on with it, John.- I am. I'm just trying to suss out what's going on.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52When do we kiss?
0:33:52 > 0:33:53Ice cream cone!
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Right, does anyone have any questions?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Can you repeat all that, cos I wasn't listening? Ha!
0:34:01 > 0:34:04No. Ha-ha!
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Dickhead!
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Hairy tits!
0:34:09 > 0:34:10- Heil Hitler!- Hitler.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- He killed the... - I'm going home!
0:34:14 > 0:34:17'I think people come along to these weekends
0:34:17 > 0:34:19'and they are made to feel special
0:34:19 > 0:34:21'and they are made to feel that they belong.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23'When you're at home in your own hometown'
0:34:23 > 0:34:26there's no-one else around that you think are like you
0:34:26 > 0:34:28or that can relate to you.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30And it is quite a lonely existence.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34In one of the first workshops,
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Greg will share his technique to manage his Tourette's.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- Come on, then, let's go. - What's it like being a chicken boy?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Very fun.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Over the years, Greg's tics have changed.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51New tics could appear at any time.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Chicken. Oh, sorry. Chicken. Chicken.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58'My tic just said "chicken" one day, and it stuck.'
0:34:58 > 0:35:01I will never understand why it said it.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I remember it said it in Maths the first time. Yeah.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Chicken!
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- Chicken! Chicken. Chicken, chicken. - Good boy!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13So everyone needs a pair of drumsticks.
0:35:14 > 0:35:20So, the aim of today is to basically teach you guys
0:35:20 > 0:35:23some cool ways I've learned to, like, control my Tourette's.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25The way I usually control it is by drumming in my head,
0:35:25 > 0:35:27imagining I'm drumming.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30The main thing I want to get everyone to understand is,
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- your Tourette's may be there all the time.- Tourette's!
0:35:33 > 0:35:35And it may be very hard and very stressful to go through,
0:35:35 > 0:35:39but regardless of drugs, regardless of anything else,
0:35:39 > 0:35:40or other people,
0:35:40 > 0:35:43you have the ability in what you'll do in your everyday life
0:35:43 > 0:35:47to combat that...to a way that will give you the relief that,
0:35:47 > 0:35:48you know...
0:35:48 > 0:35:51I myself can walk down the road now and walk past, you know,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54shall we say, some very triggering things
0:35:54 > 0:35:56in the sense of my Tourette's.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57How about chickens?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Oh, I've walked past chickens and not shouted "chicken".
0:36:00 > 0:36:02I mean, for me, that's an incredible thing.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- As much as I like chicken. - I'm going to become Duck Boy.- Duck!
0:36:07 > 0:36:09DRUMMING
0:36:10 > 0:36:12BOY SCREECHES
0:36:13 > 0:36:15I'm just sat in the back of my head,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18playing that over and over again, imagining it.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20That is fucking awesome.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Do it again, pal.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Mate, you should go on the X Factor with your stupid wee skills, pal.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29'He's going through the stage of starting to grow up a bit,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32'you know, and secondary school and things like that.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35'For anyone with Tourette's, it's one of the worst times there is, really.'
0:36:35 > 0:36:39And....growing up, my Tourette's exploded.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40It was awful.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Chicken.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Like, the simplest fill, it's called...
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- Shut it, you wee fanny balls! - Now, now.- Shut up!
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Any volunteers?
0:36:53 > 0:36:54- Right, OK, so...- I'm an idiot.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Hic, hic, tic. Now I'm ticcing.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01- Right, left. Right, left.- Tic! - Right, left.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02Right, left.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07That's it, yeah. Just got to keep it going.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Ooh!
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Concentrate.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Ah, fuck, fuck!
0:37:17 > 0:37:19'He is not sure of his own Tourette's as well.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22'You can tell there's some tics that shock him,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24'just the look on his face, or how he reacts,
0:37:24 > 0:37:27'cos after some tics, he carries on, and it's fine.'
0:37:27 > 0:37:29And then others, he has a sort of, a little bit of a pause
0:37:29 > 0:37:31and then he'll tic again. And he's, "Oh..."
0:37:31 > 0:37:35And I used to have that. I mean, new tics spring up every day.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37So when one does, it can be a bit shocking.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Allahu Akbar!
0:37:44 > 0:37:49I'm not a nice person. Watch out, I'll batter your families.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Batter your families!
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Greg's a wanker. Chicken fucker.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Greg's a fucking faggot!
0:38:05 > 0:38:08After supper, John has organised what's fast becoming a tradition...
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Would you, could you!
0:38:10 > 0:38:11..the camp quiz.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Johnny done that to you.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30Shut the fuck up! Number two.

0:38:32 > 0:38:33Jamie Oliver wanking!
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Where are the next Olympics to be held?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Bryan Ferry's house!
0:38:40 > 0:38:41LAUGHTER
0:38:41 > 0:38:46The second of the Royal Navy's new aircraft carrier is to be called?
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Purple Rain!

0:38:51 > 0:38:53- Michael Jackson. - He's dead.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- Gary Glitter. - Gary Glitter up the shitter.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Tinie Tempah.- Gary Lineker!
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Gary Lineker?!
0:39:01 > 0:39:03LAUGHTER
0:39:06 > 0:39:07It's Jimmy Savile!
0:39:07 > 0:39:09I think you need a table all to yourself!
0:39:09 > 0:39:12LAUGHTER
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Somebody hit the little shit.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18'There's a lot of laughs and a lot of giggles
0:39:18 > 0:39:20'and I think it's good to be able to laugh,
0:39:20 > 0:39:24'especially when all us ticcers are together.'
0:39:24 > 0:39:28And to laugh, we get so much therapy from laughing.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31You know, it makes us feel so much better.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35And in a way, it's a kind of release and helps us to cope.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36It's a coping mechanism.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Olly-olly-olly, tits in your trolley!
0:39:39 > 0:39:40HE MUTTERS
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Tourette's - fun for all the paedophiles!

0:40:04 > 0:40:05HE SHOUTS
0:40:05 > 0:40:09The workshop's called Camera Creativity Workshop...
0:40:09 > 0:40:12The sessions provide ways in which those at camp
0:40:12 > 0:40:15can share their techniques to help manage their tics.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17My wife bought me a camera
0:40:17 > 0:40:20and I found out that by...just by pure luck
0:40:20 > 0:40:25that being creative helps me with my tics.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27If you come up for a camera...
0:40:27 > 0:40:29All I'm asking you, if it's got a strap,
0:40:29 > 0:40:31please put it round your neck.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- Strap on! - Strap on, strap a dick to me!
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- Camera, camera! - Put it round your neck, please.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03trying to find something that inspires you.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07- Mouse's arse!- Hey! Cunt!
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Fuck off! This is a shit, shit workshop.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13I don't know whether you'll actually silhouette out
0:41:13 > 0:41:15if you take a shot from here, Sam.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Whether he'll actually... You'll get a silhouette of him.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21Your sexy mother! Sorry.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24'When you're taking photographs with a camera, the tics aren't present.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26'It's like from the outside of the room,
0:41:26 > 0:41:28'they're not even knocking on the door.'
0:41:28 > 0:41:30It's like balm and it's soothing so...
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Hey, hey! And that's my mum.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- HE WHISTLES - It's not.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36HE LAUGHS
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- Shit. Hey, hey, hey. - HE BLOWS RASPBERRY
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Fuck the Pope.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44HE BARKS
0:41:44 > 0:41:47You all right, kids? Paedophile park!
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Fucking does my head in.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Hey, hey! Hey!
0:41:53 > 0:41:54And if you zoom right in...
0:41:54 > 0:41:59If I'm concentrating on something a lot, I'll...
0:42:02 > 0:42:06..be less ticcy cos I'm not thinking about it that much.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11So it's good to keep concentrated when I'm doing something.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Get right in close, as close as you can.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18And wait...
0:42:18 > 0:42:19SHUTTER CLICKS
0:42:19 > 0:42:21See what I mean?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Do some sparring.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Have you tried any techniques with your tics?
0:42:30 > 0:42:32- A few, yeah.- A few? What like?
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Like keeping my arms down like that when I'm trying to punch.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- Yeah.- Um...trying to, like...
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Keep my tongue at the back of my...
0:42:43 > 0:42:46- But none of them work, really.- No.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49I think ones that DO work, cos if I'm stood next to somebody,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51I'll go like that and grab their boobs to a woman
0:42:51 > 0:42:53and, like, you can get in big trouble doing that,
0:42:53 > 0:42:55so what I do, I'll make sure I step...
0:42:55 > 0:42:57If I've got the feel that I'm going to do it,
0:42:57 > 0:43:00I'll just step back and it's the same if you're punching anybody.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Hey, hey, hey!- You fucking...!
0:43:02 > 0:43:04HE BARKS
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Hey! Homosexuality.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07But there's lots of stuff,
0:43:07 > 0:43:08and you'll find out as you get older.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11You'll find your own techniques, what are the best for you.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14But nobody should ever make you feel like you need to suppress.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17You know, when people say to you, you know,
0:43:17 > 0:43:19"Shut up, can you not shut up?", and people say,
0:43:19 > 0:43:21"Right, I want you to be quiet,"
0:43:21 > 0:43:23it's just the worst thing they can say, really, isn't it?
0:43:23 > 0:43:27- Aye, the best thing to do is THIS! - Fuck the Pope.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Hey, hey, hey.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31We can bum him if you want? Hey!
0:43:31 > 0:43:33- HE WHISTLES - No, thanks.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37Talking about ways to help my tics,
0:43:37 > 0:43:40like I need to move away if I feel an urge coming,
0:43:40 > 0:43:41and, um...
0:43:41 > 0:43:44- Shite!- Hey, you!
0:43:44 > 0:43:48Get me a Bourbon! I'm hungry.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51I want you to try and concentrate as much as you can.
0:43:51 > 0:43:55I spoke to Greg and Greg thinks that you've got an ability
0:43:55 > 0:43:58to learn the drums and be quite a good drummer.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01So, what we want to do is we want to try and see if,
0:44:01 > 0:44:05getting tuition one-to-one, it'll work.
0:44:05 > 0:44:06- All right?- All right.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08So, when you go in, try and...
0:44:08 > 0:44:10THEY EXHALE
0:44:10 > 0:44:12- ..chill.- Have a fag.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15- You could try... - My mum's got a tight pussy.
0:44:15 > 0:44:20Tight pussy! Pussy! Pussy!
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Can you play me what we did earlier?
0:44:23 > 0:44:24I keep hitting the...
0:44:26 > 0:44:29HE SHOUTS
0:44:36 > 0:44:40- Yep, that's it. - Fuck off, broom!
0:44:45 > 0:44:48- Are you having a hard time? - Mm-hm.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16You did that really well.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18I mean, for me, it helps my Tourette's so much.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21I think it'll do the same for you.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Yeah...
0:45:33 > 0:45:35That's it.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37- You've got it.- Whoo!
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Bravo section, Bravo section!
0:45:41 > 0:45:44- Bravo section! - We're going to grow up.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48- Your mother.- What the hell? - Your mother! Your mother is fat.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52- Your mother is weird. - Line up, line up.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54On the final afternoon of the camp,
0:45:54 > 0:45:57John's organised a treat for the children...
0:45:57 > 0:45:59- Very, very seriously, aren't you? - We're not going to shoot you!
0:45:59 > 0:46:03OK, let's get that minefield cleared, everyone, in you go!
0:46:03 > 0:46:07In you go, let's go in and get that minefield cleared up!
0:46:12 > 0:46:14THEY SHOUT AND LAUGH
0:46:21 > 0:46:24It's absolutely amazing to watch them having a laugh and have fun.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26It just makes them feel as if they're part of the majority
0:46:26 > 0:46:28rather than the minority.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34And of course, as we know, young Rory, I mean,
0:46:34 > 0:46:37he's having an absolute ball, and I'll tell you something -
0:46:37 > 0:46:39the more and more time I spend with Rory,
0:46:39 > 0:46:42the more I get to see Rory without the Tourette's, kind of thing.
0:46:42 > 0:46:46His personality's coming through, he's relaxing, and you know,
0:46:46 > 0:46:49so often, kids, they become so isolated.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51But, at a place like this,
0:46:51 > 0:46:54it just goes to show that a little bit of acceptance and understanding
0:46:54 > 0:46:57and they can be kids, how they should be.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04Rory, come on! Get out of there, there's a bomb coming!
0:47:04 > 0:47:07CHILDREN SHOUT
0:47:07 > 0:47:11- This is so cool. - What was the best bit about it?
0:47:11 > 0:47:14I don't know. Just getting really wet
0:47:14 > 0:47:15and knowing that I don't have to worry about it.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23This is what kids should be doing.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25You know, making memories when they're kids
0:47:25 > 0:47:28for the rest of their lives, like every other kid.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38There's some times when I just keeping thinking why...
0:47:38 > 0:47:45why it has to be me and not...folk that are criminals or deserve it.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54'Tourette's is me and John is Tourette's.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59'So, I love being John Davidson now, yeah. I love being John.'
0:48:03 > 0:48:05HE SCREECHES
0:48:05 > 0:48:07Fucking crow!
0:48:07 > 0:48:10It's so important that people embrace who they are,
0:48:10 > 0:48:11love who they are.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14When you do accept that you've got Tourette's,
0:48:14 > 0:48:18then your life will start to move on and you will be able to achieve.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23- Fuck off!- See you.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25Yeah, safe journey, Kim. Thank you for coming.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28- Oh, you're welcome. - See you.
0:48:28 > 0:48:29Bye, gorgeous.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Brilliant to see you, pal. Give us a hug, eh?
0:48:32 > 0:48:33I always get the question,
0:48:33 > 0:48:36"If you could take away your Tourette's, would you?"
0:48:36 > 0:48:40The Tourette's has developed my life, you know,
0:48:40 > 0:48:44for the better, out of it being a very negative thing
0:48:44 > 0:48:46and it's something that I always now say,
0:48:46 > 0:48:49when anybody asks that question, is,
0:48:49 > 0:48:51"Would you take away your Tourette's?"
0:48:51 > 0:48:53And I go, "No. Definitely wouldn't."
0:48:54 > 0:48:56You've just got to unlock what it allows you to do.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58So, will it ever go away, Rory?
0:48:59 > 0:49:02It might do, but I don't think so.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07No, I don't think it will.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12It probably will change. I might not have as much swearing.
0:49:12 > 0:49:18I might have more swearing, but we'll just have to wait and see.
