A 2021 PSA Created by NJCTS featuring Youth Advocates Jenna Smith, Dominic Dominguez, Paige Kowalski, and Mateo Acevedo.

“We felt it was time to make a statement about Tourette Syndrome and what it REALLY is,” said NJ Center for Tourette Syndrome and Associated Disorders (NJCTS) Executive Director Patricia Phillips. NJCTS created the series of PSAs with the help of production company Grey Sky Studios out of Rockaway.

“In the last few years we have seen celebrities, politicians and even those in the news media use TS as a joke or an insult. Then there are those on social media who fake tics to get views and likes. Our kids and adults with TS deserve better than having people use a disorder they struggle with on a daily basis as fodder to gain laughs.”

Tourette Syndrome is not a joke. It's not a punchline. It's not an excuse.
